Trump to judges: Even a 'bad high school student' would rule in my favor

[spanone]

this man is mentally incompetent.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump sought to lend his own legal argument for his executive order banning travel from certain Muslim-majority countries on Wednesday, discounting a legal challenge to the order as anti-security.

Contending that a US president has wide powers to control who comes into the United States, Trump read from US law and declared that even a "bad high school student" would rule in his favor.

"This isn't just me. This is for Obama, for Ronald Reagan, for the President. This was done, very importantly, for security," Trump said. "It was done for the security of our nation, for the security of our citizens, so people don't come in who are going to do us harm. That is why is was done. It couldn't have been written more precisely."

Trump said his executive order was "written beautifully" and fully within the bounds of US statute.

[apcalc]

3. The wording should be changed...

"Probably a bad high school student would rule in my favor."

Bad judgement, you know.

[MineralMan]

5. But, see, Donald, those judges aren't "bad high school students."

They're distinguished legal scholars who actually understand the Constitution and federal laws. Unlike you, they have studied those things for decades and bring all of that education and study to bear on all of their decisions. Also unlike you, they act with deliberation and after considering all of the factors.

See, they're really smart people who make decisions based on actual laws and principles. Again, in that, they are not like you at all.

6. I hope they hand his ass to this disgusting, illiterate, POS!

8. Could this be the event that breaks his tiny mind? It's starting to seem like it.

Muslim ban = failed.
Yemen raid = failed.
Approval ratings = failed.
Mexican wall = failed.

Nice batting average.

9. That's why we don't put bad high school students on the Court of Appeals.

Funny how that works.

10. I feel like I'm living in a Max Ernst painting.

How much more surreal can this shit get?

(Also, if he's saying stupid things loudly, odds are good that someone in his cabal is up to something Not Good, very quietly. What do you suppose we're being distracted from looking at this time?)

[bdamomma]

21. where is Bannon????

[spanone]

12. unbelievable that ANYONE would insult judges that are currently ruling on your case!!!!

let alone a president.

[Cha]

15. Remember the Mexican judge he insulted?

[Cha]

13. Shut up, trump, you're stupid

[spanone]

20. he does come off as not very bright.

[Initech]

16. I think this question needs to be asked: Has Trump read the constitution?

[truebluegreen]

28. Even if he can, and has

he clearly doesn't understand it.

[bdamomma]

17. this guy is off his rocker

do you see how he scapegoats other people???? psychological warfare, he gets his briefings from Putin.

Ok when is Putin coming for a visit???? That will be a telling situation. Let's see if McConnell will welcome him to the Congress???? tRump and Putin can have a joint speech.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. Of course they would

Especially a bad military high school grad

[SamKnause]

19. Fuck Trump !!!

Fuck Republicans !!!!!!!!

[MoonRiver]

22. And he would know about that.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

23. Not even a bad high school student would rule in HIS favor

n/t

[PA Democrat]

24. Never missing an opportunity for self-praise, the malignant narcissist insists his EO

was "beautifully written." What does that even mean? Were there a lot of big fancy words that he didn't understand?

And as far as a "bad high school student" ruling in his favor that is not exactly a cogent argument given that such a student would most likely have no understanding of the legal concepts of the case.

Keep tweeting Trump. Show the world how STUPID you are, what an out-of-control bully you are.

[spanone]

25. i hope the judges see this before they rule....

[PA Democrat]

29. I would bet that the judges' law clerks keep them informed.

[spanone]

33. 👍🏼

[Freethinker65]

26. DeVos must have written the tweet for him

[C_U_L8R]

27. Setting such Bad President.

Oh please Trump, just shut-up.

[maxrandb]

32. Sorry President Snowflake

Jeff Sessions hasn't been confirmed yet.

[smirkymonkey]

34. I've never heard such a stupid-ass argument in my life .

So, are you saying that the legal argument backing your executive order is so weak and pathetic, that you can only get high-school morons to support it? No learned, educated professionals, no respected judges, just high-school students with double digit IQ's?
