After a federal judge on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration’s move to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, President Donald Trump on Wednesday morning attacked the court system, a favored retaliation method of the President.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders also bashed the order in a statement Wednesday morning.

“We find this decision to be outrageous, especially in light of the President’s successful bipartisan meeting with House and Senate members at the White House on the same day,” Sanders said. “An issue of this magnitude must go through the normal legislative process. President Trump is committed to the rule of law, and will work with members of both parties to reach a permanent solution that corrects the unconstitutional actions taken by the last administration.”

    It just shows everyone how broken and unfair our Court System is

  3. Oh, stop whining!

  4. And just to whom is the Court’s order being “unfair”? The Dreamers? The university systems? The employers? Who could it be that the so-called president is so concerned about “fairness” being assured? Could it be the same person to whom loyalty is demanded?

  5. Can’t stand the heat? Get the f___ out of the kitchen!
