This weekend Federal judge James Robart blocked Donald Trump’s executive order to ban people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US.
Donald Trump initially responded to the move with a succession of tweets criticising the judge:
What is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into U.S.?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017
Because the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country. A terrible decision
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017
Why aren't the lawyers looking at and using the Federal Court decision in Boston, which is at conflict with ridiculous lift ban decision?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017
The judge opens up our country to potential terrorists and others that do not have our best interests at heart. Bad people are very happy!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 5, 2017
The President’s request to reinstate the ban was then denied by a federal appeals court.
As the world waits to see what will come next, people on the internet are going through the different stages of happiness:
