This is very much a "my feelings are more important than your facts" argument.
There are many decisions that are "objectively" bad for the country. Nuking the ocean would be a bad decision. Yelling at the Australian PM seemingly unprovoked is a bad decision. Trying to run the government by yourself instead of at least asking for input from people who are out in the field actually doing things is a bad decision.
The EO is the perfect example of this. The core idea (limiting immigration from these 7 countries) could have been executed upon! If they could have controlled their fascist spasms for a week, they could have gotten lawyers to write up a bulletproof EO. Lots of people would be pissed, but the administration would have gotten what they want.
Instead, they just sent out the first draft from Bannon's cocktail napkin as-is, and it took less than 24 hours for it to get shut down by the courts. That's not some crazy strategizing, they're just bad at their jobs.
