I mean, at least he gave it a shot?
Not really what you would expect from a US president now do you?

I have a feeling this will be an ongoing theme with the Trump presidency. He'll keep going beyond what he knows he can't get away with, the courts will tell him "you can't do this, but you can do this", and he'll modify and do what he can. It's a negotiating tactic. Whatever measures come after this won't seem so bad.
Right now he's got everyone focusing on the permanent residents from those countries, but they'll probably get to stay and the larger point will just slide under the radar.

While on the campaign trail, it was easy for Mr Trump to roundly decry the US immigration system as broken and make a general call for bans and moratoriums. As president, however, his team has had to fill in the details - and it seems they faced some difficulty translating his pre-election rhetoric into policy.
Mr Trump's Friday afternoon executive order reportedly was crafted without consulting legal aides and enacted over the objection of homeland security officials, who balked at including permanent US residents in the ban.

He might have known that that was going to happen and just did it to please Republican counterparts. Who knows really what goes on in Trumps head though
