Trump's latest executive order: Banning people from 7 countries and more

(CNN)
2I4A7451

Trump's latest executive order: Banning people from seven countries and more = True, most get moved...*pause*...except culprits from San Bernardino or Nine-Eleven

Note: The San Bernardino and 9/11 attacks are highly referenced by Trump as examples of why a Muslim ban might be necessary.

The seven countries that Trump has on his list so far are Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Remember that list.

15 of the 19 hijackers in the 9/11 attacks were citizens of Saudi Arabia, 2 were from the United Arab Emirates, 1 was from Egypt, and 1 was from Lebanon. The perpetrators of the San Bernardino attacks were Tashfeen Malik and Rizwan Farook. Tashfeen Malik was born in Pakistan, and Rizwan Farook was born in...Chicago, Illinois.

If you paid attention, exactly 0 of these countries were on Trump's initial list. However, he is currently leader of one of those countries.
