He didn't "pull out the same stunt". Trump's Executive Order bars Permanent Residents from re-entering the country, not just refugees, and was done not in response to a specific threat from the countries in question, but because he was fulfilling a deeply misguided campaign promise.
While pausing Iraqi refugee intake for 6 months in 2011 was almost certainly an overreaction, it was done in response to a case in Kentucky where it was shown that a number of Iraqi enemy combatants had been granted refugee status in 2009.
