Trump Posts Threatening Tweet About ‘Evil’
‘Evil’
An increasingly fascistic President Donald Trump Friday evening posted a somewhat mysterious and threatening tweet about “evil.” The President has been under siege for his Muslim ban, with conflicting stories earlier Friday from the State Dept. and the Justice Dept. over how many visas to enter the United States had been revoked as a result of his ban.
In a federal court hearing in Virginia, an attorney for the DOJ said the number was over 100,000. Later, the State Dept. announced the number was actually 60,000. Regardless, those figures are far greater than the one claimed by White House spokesman Sean Spicer, who earlier in the week claimed only 109 people had been affected.
“We must keep ‘evil’ out of our country!” President Trump tweeted, just after 6 PM, presumably from his mini vacation at the winter White House, his Mar-a-Lago estate.Â
We must keep “evil” out of our country!

The statement could easily be interpreted as an attack on Muslims, the people he has banned from seven countries. Â
But on Twitter, many decided to face off with the president, giving him equal treatment:
Among them, the former President of Mexico:
@realDonaldTrump you’re sprouting evil in US. With every policy you make, someone turns his back on you. No #FuckingWall could prevent that.
— Vicente Fox Quesada (@VicenteFoxQue) February 3, 2017
And others:
I think we should keep fear-mongering out of this country, @realDonaldTrump.
