It's not crazy to restrict travel from countries you're essentially at war with (or have recently been at war with or otherwise devastated by other state actions).
It is crazy to be in that kind of conflict with so many nations.

That didn't surprise me one bit. He's saying it's about national security, but come on, is that for real? Or is it just another shiny object to keep people from looking at the real problems?

It's probably a combination of national security, xenophobia, and diplomatic pressure.

Pressure from the US towards the targeted countries. Similar to the tariff strategy: put these travel restrictions in place until the country capitulates on something Trump wants them to do.
