Silly @maggieNYT . If you had been paying attention, you would know P Navarro and K Cucinelli were the primary advisors on the side of @realDonaldTrump's China travel ban.
PN, KC were for. Most others were strongly against. Trump went with the ban.

Then @maggieNYT... as you very well know from your prior pearl-clutching criticisms of earlier bans. All of the agencies needed to be notified in advance so they could coordinate the entry restrictions. [State Dept., TSA, DHS etc.]
It's not as simple as flipping a switch. Had the White House not given advanced notice to DoS, DHS and TSA etc, third-rate narrative engineer @maggieNYT would have gone bananas...
It's a damned if he does, damned if he doesn't scenario that third-rate @maggieNYT and the WHCA are so accustomed to playing.
The travel ban was planned in January, notices sent out, triggered by the task force announcement on 1/31/20, and into effect on Feb 5th.
