Why do you suppose that people won't take Trump seriously?

There are those who seem to think that Trump's statements aren't sincere.  That he's doing it for effect, and not because he thinks that way.

I am thinking that he does think that way, and that should be very good for the country.  It seems odd to me that so many people don't see that, by keeping terrorists out of the country, they would be rendering terrorism impotent in this country.  Any country that does this is isolating the terrorists, as they deserve to be.

Such policies would be very helpful in ending terrorism for good.  Unfortunately, all too many people seem intent upon treating a hostile entity like this with inappropriate respect.
