Acting Presidential

Today, The President had one of his "episodes" via twitter, questioning the legitimacy of another Federal Judge. This time it was Judge James Robart, a George W. Bush appointee, unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate to serve on the US District Court for the Western District of Washington in 2004.

Robarts sin, according to the President was to put a temporary halt on the recent Executive Order banning entry into the United States from seven predominantly Muslim nations. The ban affects people with already approved Visas and individuals with Green Cards who are currently outside the country.

Keeping the nation safe is the first priority of the President and the Congress. However and this has been discussed in previous entries, an Executive Order pertaining to nations where not one of its citizens have perpetrated an attack on the United States while other Muslim nations (the ones who conduct business with Trump Enterprises) whose populace have launched terrorist operations against us like Saudi Arabia seems ill prepared. Putting people who have lawfully fulfilled the Visa and Green Card Process into a three to four-month limbo seems poorly planned. Acting like a baby when numerous Judges have temporarily banned the order is Unpresidential and beneath the dignity of the Office of the President. President Trump should learn from the example of his immediate predecessor. Whether or not you disagree with his policies, President Obama at least acted like a President and conducted himself in a way our citizens would positively view.
