The seven countries were designated by Obama adm and Congress as 'dangerous to visit'

not as sources of immigration-related terrorism.

Trump on Sunday also defended his executive actions by saying that the Obama administration had previously identified the same seven countries "as sources of terror." But that claim is misleading, as Congress and the Obama administration together designated the seven nations as dangerous for American citizens to visit. They were not designated as a source of immigrant-related terrorism.

So, once again, the orange menace lifts something from the Obama admin and takes it out of context, and blames Obama when things go wrong.
