Trump on Twitter
Not long after he took the oath of office two weeks ago, Donald Trump was quick to act as the new president. The billionaire real estate mogul has signed several executive orders, with most facing serious backlash from his critics and political opponents. Two of the most controversial executive orders signed into law by Trump has be in regards to combating illegal immigration, and the now infamous "Muslim ban." As protests continue to break out against the new administration on an almost daily basis, Trump has showed no signs of slowing down.
After another Twitter post on February 3, social media users trolled the commander in chief.
We must keep "evil" out of our country!

"We must keep 'evil' out of our country!" Donald Trump wrote on Twitter Friday evening. Trump's message follows his previous tweet where he referenced an failed attempt at an Islamic terrorist attack on Paris, France at the Louvre Museum earlier in the day. "A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris," Trump pointed out, before concluding his tweet in all caps, reading, "GET SMART U.S."
Is this the new American Dream, @realDonaldTrump?

In response, social media users fired back at Donald Trump over his comments.
