Philadelphia mayor: Trump would 'go to hell' if he had to go back to where he came from

Source: The Hill

The mayor of Philadelphia did not mince words when calling out President Trump in recent remarks to reporters after the president told four lawmakers of color to “go back” to their home countries over the weekend.

“I have this vision of one day in heaven, or outside of heaven because they’re not going to get in, Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Tom Homan, and everybody else standing in a cyclone-fenced dungeon, a cyclone-fenced cell outside of heaven for eternity because that’s what they’re going to have to do because what they’re doing now is so anti-human, antithetical, anti-American, anti-decent, it’s all terrible what they’re doing,” Mayor Jim Kenney said Tuesday.

“The step the president took yesterday when he told four American citizens to go back where they came from makes him an idiot because he didn’t know they were born in Detroit and Chicago and New York, so that’s the problem,” he continued.

“If Donald Trump ever has to go back where he came from, he’s going to have to go to hell,” added.

I would've said "Yo , fucking moron, up yours" and given him a Philly salute.

Only place he could go is to a cave so deep he'd have to look up to see hell.

Anyone not as evil as he is will be attacked .Next he'll do everything he can to hurt all minorities , and threaten them , and if you don't agree he will use his powers to hurt you too. Just look what he's doing inhumanly to immigrants, and others are next that are citizens. He really hates everyone except himself. Now the gop are defending racists, and child predators, and normalizing it.
