Twitter has a field day with Trump's claim that court decision should be an 'EASY D' – as celebs, reporters and lawmaker chuckle at embarrassing slang
- President Donald Trump dashed off a tweet this morning suggesting the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals had an 'EASY D!' to make on his travel ban
- While Trump likely meant it as an abbreviation for 'decision,' Twitter had other ideas as a lawmaker, celebrities and commentators chimed in
- Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann called Trump a 'dum-dum' for not looking up 'EASY D!' in the Urban Dictionary
- Hollywood actor Justin Long, a Bernie Sanders supporter, asked 'patriotic nerds' to hack Trump's phone so he sounded more presidential
- A Connecticut Democrat joked that he asked his Capitol Hill staff to call him 'EASY D!' for the rest of the week
President Donald Trump teased Twitter with the phrase 'EASY D' today and Twitter teased the president right back.
While waiting for a three judge panel from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to rule on his controversial travel ban, the president tweeted, 'Big increase in traffic into our country from certain areas, while our people are far more vulnerable, as we wait for what should be EASY D!'
A number of political commentators, celebrities and even a Democratic congressman tweeted about the president's phrasing, which likely was short for 'easy decision.'

Liberal commentator Keith Olberman called the president a 'dum-dum,' for not seeing if 'EASY D' had a meaning
From the liberal journalism world, former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann snickered at Trump's for not looking up the meaning of 'EASY D' before using it in a tweet.
'Hey, Dum-Dum. Ask a grownup to show you what "EASY D" means at the urban dictionary websites. #ClownPresident,' the loud-mouthed liberal wrote.
Urban Dictionary says an Easy D is a 'girl that is very easy to get with and has Double Ds.'
Business Insider's Josh Barro, also an MSNBC contributor, pointed out an alternative definition for 'EASY D,' that of a promiscuous male in the LGBT community.
'Dude, if you want easy D, you can find it on Grindr,' he remarked.
Grindr, the gay hookup and dating app, weighed in as well.
Retweeting Trump's tweet, Grindr added an emoji that seemed to be pondering what the president could mean.

'Please hack Trump's phone + start tweeting things that are, at least, VAGUELY presidential,' he wrote.
He signed off 'sincerely, #EasyD #Nordstrom.'
Trump also took to Twitter today to denounce the Nordstrom department store for dumping his daughter Ivanka Trump's clothing line.
Finally, Rep. Jim Himes, a Connecticut Democrat, floated another definition for the 'EASY D' term – a swell nickname for a rapper.
'I've instructed my staff that I expect to be called "Easy D" for the remainder of the week,' the congressman wrote, adding the hashtag 'chillin.'
