President Donald Trump said Tuesday that “hopefully” his executive order barring travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries will not go before the Supreme Court. He defended the controversial ban as a matter of “common sense.”
“We’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters at a meeting with county sheriffs. “We have a big court case. We’re well-represented, and we’re going to see what happens.”
“Is it going to go to the Supreme Court, do you think?” a reporter asked.
“Could. I mean, we’ll see. Hopefully it doesn’t have to. It’s common sense,” Trump replied. “You know, some things are law, and I’m all in favor of that, and some things are common sense. This is common sense.”
Watch his response:
This is common sense if you have no sense, no education, and no clue.
Understanding “common sense” requires having something in common with actual sense.
Translation: Don the Con has a good idea that he will lose if the case goes to SCOTUS.
Shorter Trump: I want Electoral College to take over this case.
Not common sense if you don’t have the data to back up your claim of national security and you do not.
