White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Tuesday afternoon painstakingly insisted that President Donald Trump’s order barring immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim countries was not a “travel ban.”
But with one tweet on Wednesday morning, Trump undid Spicer’s efforts and said he did not care what term was used to describe his order.
Everybody is arguing whether or not it is a BAN. Call it what you want, it is about keeping bad people (with bad intentions) out of country!

Trump’s tweet follows Spicer’s Tuesday press briefing, during which he made a conscious effort not to call Trump’s order a “ban.”
“This is not a Muslim ban. It’s not a travel ban. It’s a vetting system to keep America safe. That’s it,” he said.
But Spicer’s insistence that the order is not a “ban” came after Trump and Spicer both referred to the order as a ban. Asked about Trump calling the order a ban on Tuesday, Spicer said that the President is “using the words that the media is using.”
Pres Bannon, the strewer of chaos and destruction, has been whispering in the ear of his cheeto-haired dummy.
A turd by any other name would smell as rotten.
Sean Spicer should be aware that when you work for the Office of Alternative Facts overseen by a slovenly Leninist,Stevie Bannon ,that words don’t matter. If the slovenly Bannon tells you it is raining, and you are standing in the bright sunshine without a cloud in sight, Sean- your job is to distribute Trump-brand umbrellas and keep repeating ,“It is raining.”
It’s hilarious how Spicer has aged ten years in a month. He’s gonna turn into a rotted husk by April
True?
