Liar in Chief Blames Computer Problems, Protestors, and Top Senator’s ‘Tears,’ Not His Muslim Ban, for Chaos
The President of the United States Thinks Caring About Innocent People Who Have Been the Victims of Violence and Terrorism Is Un-American
President Donald Trump Monday morning took to Twitter to defend his executive order than effectively bans Muslims from seven countries from entering the United States.
Only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained and held for questioning. Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage,…..

There is nothing nice about searching for terrorists before they can enter our country. This was a big part of my campaign. Study the world!

The Commander in Chief blamed computer problems at Delta airlines, nationwide protestors, and – stunningly – even the “tears” of Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, for the chaos and confusion at airports around the world. President Trump, as he does daily, was lying.

Trump, in a sign the increasingly desperate president is in over his head, also placed his Secretary of Homeland Security, James Kelly, in between him and his opponents, saying, “Secretary Kelly said that all is going well with very few problems.” If Kelly did say that that also is false.

The executive order, as reports are now showing, was drafted with no vetting from the U.S. Dept. of Justice or Homeland Security. In a disturbing moment, as, The New York Times described Sunday, President Trump was signing the executive order banning Muslims from countries whose nationals have not attacked the U.S., as Secretary Kelly was on a conference call first learning about it.
“Gen. John F. Kelly, the secretary of homeland security, had dialed in from a Coast Guard plane as he headed back to Washington from Miami. Along with other top officials, he needed guidance from the White House, which had not asked his department for a legal review of the order,” The Times reports. “Halfway into the briefing, someone on the call looked up at a television in his office. ‘The president is signing the executive order that we’re discussing,’ the official said, stunned.”
People around the worldy are posting details of the mass confusion Trump’s executive order, which is likely unconstitutional, has created, like this #NeverTrump conservative, an attorney, who tweeted this chilling “Friend-of-a-friend on Facebook” story from a U.S. citizen:
Passport taken, told he’d get it in the mail in two weeks.
Disgusting.

Sen. Schumer did, actually, get emotional on Sunday, as he held a press conference denouncing Trump’s executive order:

Apparently, the president of the United States thinks caring about innocent people who have been the victims of violence and terrorism is un-American.Â
UPDATE:
Trump continues to defend his disaster:
If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the “bad” would rush into our country during that week. A lot of bad “dudes” out there!
