Mr trump lashed out at Hawaiian Judge Watson Wednesday at a campaign-style rally in Nashville where he pledged to get his travel ban through the courts.
Shouting hoarsely, Donald Trump accused #Judge Watson of taking a cynical political stance on the travel ban. He also took time to criticize the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which had supported the earlier court ruling against his travel ban.
“This ruling makes us look weak, which by the way we no longer are, believe me,” the President said, as the crowd cheered on in a loyal manner.
Trump claimed that he was interested in reissuing the original version of the travel ban, instead of the one that was blocked on Wednesday, since the latter was already watered down.
Judge Watson also roundly rejected the government’s case that a court would have to examine Mr. Trump’s “veiled psyche” to find any religious animus that proves it is discriminatory.
“There is nothing ‘veiled’ about this press release,” Judge Watson wrote, quoting a document from the Trump campaign that is titled “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”
