President Donald Trump used Twitter to fire back at critics of his executive order that suspended immigration from seven majority Muslim nations. The order, signed Friday evening, led to protests at airports across the nation, several lawsuits, anger from some veterans over the treatment of Iraqi translators and dissent from State Department employees.
In his first three tweets Monday, sent between 5:16 a.m. and 5:27 a.m., Trump suggested that the airport issues were caused by Sunday’s “Delta computer outage,” and not outrage at the executive orders.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., cried at a Sunday press conference while discussing the immigration orders. Trump on Monday mocked Schumer’s “fake tears” and said he was going to ask “who is his acting coach.”
