While addressing a press conference, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders showed maps of Islamic State territory in 2014 vis a vis the maps of the same place in Syria.
Trump tweeted about the terror group saying: “ISIS uses the internet better than almost anyone, but for all of those susceptible to ISIS propaganda, they are now being beaten badly at every level.”
“There is nothing to admire about them, they will always try to show a glimmer of vicious hope, but they are losers and barely breathing. Think about that before you destroy your lives and the lives of your family!,”he added.
