This sounds like a slippery slope argument[1], which can be genuine but also controversial when generalized.

Can we talk about individual instance, like those specific to the current situation with Trump or other situations, like "Operation Choke Point," separately or should something like this be only considered with generic rules that do not consider the nuisance and details of any specific circumstance?
