Agreed. The quality of journalism at The Intercept is really pretty disappointing and often (as here) smacks of ax grinding. Most importantly, the article gives extraordinarily thin support for the claim in the headline, apart from bald assertions and a handful of similar ideas from other people.

In addition, I'm no Trump fan, but I'll also add that this is very misleading, and only true in the most useless sense:

The Intercept:

> His spokesperson later clarified that this exclusion even includes Muslim-American citizens who are currently outside the U.S.

The Source that the Intercept itself links to to support this claim:

> Asked by The Hill whether that would include American Muslims currently abroad, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks replied over email: “Mr. Trump says, ‘everyone.’ ”

> During a Tuesday morning interview with ABC's "Good Morning America," however, Trump clarified that American Muslims would still be able to travel freely under his plan.

> "If a person is a Muslim and goes overseas and come back, they can come back. They are a citizen, that is different," Trump said.
