Trump Displays Mental Instability In Early Morning Twitter Tantrum
In A Series Of Early Morning Tweets, Trump Effectively Sunk His Muslim-Ban In Court.
Donald Trump started the day off with a series of erratic tweets blasting his own Muslim-ban for being watered-down and admitting the order is, in fact, a ban.
“People, the lawyers and the courts can call it whatever they want, but I am calling it what we need and what it is, a TRAVEL BAN!” he tweeted.

Trump’s tweets will likely have broad-reaching implications for the fate of his Muslim-ban with the Supreme Court. The Trump administration has repeatedly tried to argue in court that the orders don’t amount to a ban. Trump’s tweets undermine that argument.
The lead attorney for the state of Hawaii against the Trump administration tweeted his response thanking Trump for helping make their case for them.
“Its kinda odd to have the defendant in HawaiivTrump acting as our co-counsel.We don’t need the help but will take it!” Neal Kaytal said Monday.

Trump also said during his Twitter tantrum that the Department of Justice should have fought for his original order, instead of “watered down, politically correct version” submitted to the Supreme Court.
The Justice Dept. should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version they submitted to S.C.

The Justice Dept. should ask for an expedited hearing of the watered down Travel Ban before the Supreme Court – & seek much tougher version!

In his final tweet, Trump slammed the court for being political. It’s unclear which court he was referring to.
In any event we are EXTREME VETTING people coming into the U.S. in order to help keep our country safe. The courts are slow and political!
