It’s been less than a week since Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, but the former reality star has wasted no time in getting down to business.
Just one day on from signing an anti-abortion executive order which will strip US$600 million of yearly assistance provided to family planning services, Trump is reportedly now preparing to sign legislation that will create a temporary ban on refugees entering the country and suspend visa issues.
According to White House sources, the 70-year-old could sign the executive order as early as Wednesday.
The visa suspensions are expected to block applications from those born in Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya, all of which are predominantly Muslim nations.

Ouch.
A week in and already a dead TPP, an expensive wall and increasing the military budget by $1 trillion dollars.
All paid for by the US taxpayer.
We need a trump in Australia. All his recent executive orders have been a great idea. Well apart from the abortion thing. Everything else has been what we need.
We don't have executive orders in Australia though, so even if there was a Trump all decisions are still required to pass through both houses of parliament.
Oh Michael. No!
We need a wall????
Well figuratively speaking yes. We need a wall. What's the benefit with having higher crime rates+ghettos. Trump actually cares about the safety of his people - this is unheard of in the politics of the developed world.
