Not noteworthy at all, you see this is where the massive hypocrisy lies, the 7 countries deemed a risk and currently on the list are a prior selection by the Obama Administration.
And it was a ban by the Obama Administration: Text saying "Under the Act, travelers in the following categories will no longer be eligible to enter or be Admitted in to the US, under the VWP." : This sure as hell looks like a ban to me.
Another false flag, he did not dream this up at 3AM. He said he was going to do this as an Election Pledge.

It means they had to apply for a Visa. It's right there in your quote '"Under the Act, travelers in the following categories will no longer be eligible to enter or be Admitted in to the US,
under the VWP (Visa Waiver program)." That's not a ban. Trump has banned them from getting Visas and until now has also banned those with valid visas and even with Green Cards from re-entering.
Here is the announcement of Obama's policy:

Individuals impacted will still be able to apply for a visa using the regular immigration process at our embassies or consulates. For those who need a U.S. visa for urgent business, medical, or humanitarian travel to the United States, U.S. embassies and consulates stand ready to provide visa interview appointments on an expedited basis. The new law does not ban travel to the United States, or admission into the United States, and the great majority of Visa Waiver Program travelers will not be affected.
