This Probably Wasn't a Smart Thing to Say
President Donald Trump lashed out on Saturday at "this so-called judge" who put a nationwide hold on the implementation of his travel ban denying entrance to the U.S. to refugees and people from seven majority-Muslim countries.
Meanwhile, federal agencies were already halting the implementation of the controversial order that appears certain to spark another weekend of protests as well as confusion for travelers and government officials.
Confronting the most serious setback of his young administration, Trump took to Twitter to complain about at the Seattle judge who halted his controversial executive order before heading to Trump International Golf Resort in West Palm Beach to hit the links.

That on top of attacking the Judge who ruled against him in the Trump University lawsuit decisions claiming he was prejudiced because he was Mexican.
The man has a real problem with his mentality towards ANYONE who disagrees with him.

I hope that the Judge keeps safe.
I worry where this kind of thing ends up,
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

The So called president should respect judicial independence

Never heard of a so-called judge. A grad of Trump U.?
The weekend protests have already begun in NY & Washington, maybe others by now.

Uh - oh, Rex ("the new guy") Tillerson may soon be called into The Apprentice boardroom, to be chastised, and told in no uncertain terms that he better get his department straightened out and onboard with Dear Leader's EO's, or he'll be hearing the old "you're fired!" edict from the boss.
State Department reverses visa ban, allows travelers with visas into U.S.: official
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department will allow people with valid visas into the United States, a department official said on Saturday, in order to comply with an opinion from a federal judge in Seattle barring President Donald Trump's executive action.
"We have reversed the provisional revocation of visas," the State Department official said in a statement. "Those individuals with visas that were not physically canceled may now travel if the visa is otherwise valid."

Maybe Melania had some problems with documents relating to immigration that delayed their flight down to Palm Beach and that got the Donald all fired up and he had to take it out on someone. Too bad for the so-called judge that felt his oath to uphold the law was serious.

Maybe Trump would like to be called a so-called President ? ? ?

Re: This Probably Wasn't a Smart Thing to Say
The Constitution & laws shall be the supreme law of the land and...the Judicial power of the U.S. shall extend to all cases.
James Madison
If the So-called President attacks the independence of the judicial branch of government, he should be impeached.
There are two different ways that an executive official can legitimately criticize a federal court.
One is to criticize the court’s decisions. That is, to say that the court got the law wrong, got the facts wrong, or generally didn’t rule the right way.
A second way is to criticize the court’s authority. That is, to say that the court didn’t or shouldn’t have the power to decide the case at all.
But calling him a "so-called judge" is to question the legitmacy of our judicial branch. And it demonstrates that you are a petulant man-child who simply cannot abide not getting his own way.
