Attacking a Judge a bad sign

reports:

President Donald Trump on Saturday morning (Sunday NZ Time) ripped into a federal judge's decision to temporarily block enforcement of his controversial travel ban. …

In another Twitter message, Trump added: “The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!”
