An extraordinary stream of tweets Monday morning by President Donald Trump attacked his own Justice Department’s revised travel ban as “watered down, politically correct,” and pushed for expedited handling of the ban by the U.S. Supreme Court.
“The courts are slow and political!” Trump wrote before 7 a.m. Eastern Time, also stating that “In any event we are EXTREME VETTING people coming into the U.S. in order to help keep our country safe.” That statement could telegraph that the ban is no longer necessary.
