Thats sophism not oration. Rhetorical misdirection is a skill for debates not public speeches
Talent as an orator helps sell the message though.
Also, it's not a falacious answer, it's the truth. We would be harming American interests by straining our relationship with Saudi Arabia more than the countries that are currently banned. Same with Egypt.
However if he's going to say that he's protecting America he went half-assed by not banning from other extreme countries that the right has been up in arms above in the past year or so.
