Pinterest Joe Raedle/Getty After a federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked his immigration order temporarily banning refugees and nationals from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States, President Donald Trump has shot back. On Saturday morning, the 70-year-old former reality star vowed to quash the ruling by U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle, Washington — tweeting “the opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!” The president added that the ruling would halt enforcement, implying that the “safety and security” of the American people would be at risk. “When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot, come in & out, especially for reasons of safety &.security – big trouble!” he tweeted The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned! — Donald J.

She’s been living in their Manhattan Trump Tower-home until their 10-year-old son Barron finishes his school year.

According to Politico, the trip is expected to be a mix of business and pleasure for Trump, as the couple will be attending the American Red Cross’ annual fundraising gala on Saturday evening.
