Airports all over the United States spun into crisis over the weekend after President Trump signed an order closing the nation to refugees and to people from seven predominantly Muslim countries. Lawyers and protesters rushed to the aid of American residents who were barred from reentry, and legal battles began all over the country. Despite this, Trump tweeted on Monday morning that the chaos at airports was caused by a “Delta computer outage, protesters, and the tears of Senator Schumer.” The commander-in-chief claimed that “only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained and held for questioning.” He added, “Secretary Kelly said that all is going well with very few problems. MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN! There is nothing nice about searching for terrorists before they can enter our country. This was a big part of my campaign. Study the world!”
