When Donald Trump hits a brick wall called democracy, he can't get no satisfaction

[font size=5]When Donald Trump hits a brick wall called democracy, he can't get no satisfaction[/font]
Paul McGeough
[font size=3]Washington: Damn it – he thought he was king.
In discovering late Friday that as president he's one of three intermeshed branches of government, Donald Trump belittled the jurist who had pulled him up quick-smart, as a "so-called judge" and his ruling that iced Trump's immigration crackdown as "ridiculous."
But much to their amazement, Trump and the Bannon bunch keep running into this brick wall – it's called American democracy.
Throughout last week a succession of judges around the country nipped and tucked the controversial executive order, by which Trump halted all refugees entering the US for four months, pending a proposed new "extreme vetting" that would block entry by "radical Islamic terrorists." The ban was to be indefinite for refugees from Syria and all travel from Syria and six other Muslim majority countries — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen — was suspended for three months.
