Here's what I think will happen, and it doesn't have a happy ending.
This is going to piss off a lot of Muslim citizens. Some of them who are now between the ages of 10 and 20 are going to want to do something about it. We might have more attacks than before, not less. If these happen while Trump is president he will say "I told you about those Muslims" and he will start trying to do things against Muslim citizens.
Our only hope which I don't see as much of a hope is he's not re-elected in 2020 and this sh#t gets reversed.
I feel like he's laying the ground work already, if he loses the electoral vote, to say that millions voted illegally. Maybe he'll just refuse to step down. Either that or, in the next 4 years, congress and/or the Supreme Court will make a bunch more voting laws or remove more voting protections that adversely affect populations that are more likely to vote Democrat.
For instance they could require voter IDs nationwide, then Republican state leaders could jack up ID costs, since poor people vote Democrats in higher %.

Something is going to happen to "justify" this ban. Someone from one of these countries is going to shoot up a church or blow up a market. Something will hit the news in the next week or so, so TrumpBannon can show us all that they were right. It may lead to an even greater tightening of control.
This has happened before.

The most tragic thing is that what knapp said is right, and it will be because of the ban.
This makes America much more dangerous, not safer. The best possible thing for our country is to welcome the Muslim, welcome the poor, welcome the refugee, welcome the downtrodden, then learn, interact, love and grow together. Want to guarantee terrorists keep trying to attack our country with unrelenting radicalism? Paint the United States as being anti-muslim. That makes their recruitment and their propaganda indoctrination that much easier. That makes our country that much more at risk. Fortunately for Trump, that also gives him the ammo he needs to justify trying to literally destroy world peace.

The Onion is on point: Area Man Willing To Give Up Any Of Muslims’ Rights Necessary To Feel Safe
Usually they do satire. This is distillation of actual sentiment.

There were sane, rational people saying this was going to happen the entire way, too.
When Democrats vilified Trump's call for a ban and said his policies would lead to radicalization and make us less safe, it was not just an empty political attack. They were trying to convince more people of the unforeseen consequences that would be wrought were Trump to ascend to power and carry out his decrees.
Unfortunately, due to either the perpetual stage of conditioned, irrational fear that a large chunk of the country finds itself in or the flawed nature of the messengers who were sounding the alarm, not enough people listened. Or they listened and decided it was not important and they would vote for Trump anyway.
And here we find ourselves, at that eventuality. It is frustrating and disappointing to my very core thattoo many of my fellow Americans either didn't listen or didn't care that this day was coming down the pike.
But here we are. I'm glad we've begun pushing back. What Knapp foretold will likely come to pass. And Trump and the evil little men surrounding him will use it as justification to further persecute the most vulnerable among us. Shoot, they've already done it. They've scapegoated an entire nationality in the face of all available data and sheer reality as justification for building a stupid, expensive, useless wall.
We will continue to discover our own true mettle, as well as that of those around us, when the events Knapp described occur. We'll need to push back then, too.
