‘Need the WALL, need the BAN’ Trump’s reaction to the Egypt attack
Donald Trump has taken to Twitter (surprise surprise) to renew his vehemence for a border wall.
Citing the Eqyptian mosque attack, which killed over 200 people in the al-Rawda mosque in the town of Bir al-Abed, Trump used the attack to promote the construction of a border wall between the US and Mexico, and to promote the travel ban.
Trump said he would speak with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi later that day.
'Will be calling the President of Egypt in a short while to discuss the tragic terrorist attack, with so much loss of life;' he said.
'We have to get TOUGHER AND SMARTER than ever before, and we will.'
'Need the WALL, need the BAN! God bless the people of Egypt.'

The attack was one of the deadliest in Egyptian history. So far, no signal organisation has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Trump has previously used similar attacks to promote his proposals.
The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!

After the attack in London's Parsons Green, the POTUS said:
'The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific – but stupidly, that would not be politically correct.'
