The U.S. Supreme Court rejected on Wednesday a bid by President Donald Trump to include grandparents and other relatives in his travel ban on people from six Muslim-majority countries.
After his Muslim ban twice denied visas to an all girls robotics team from competing in the US, Trump reversed himself and let the girls in. Kellyanne Conway then tried to give Trump credit for the decision.
Trump has been losing so much so often during his presidency that even a partial Supreme Court win on his Muslim ban has become a cause for celebration for a party that has seen a president do nothing but watch Fox News, play golf, and lose.
A raging Trump took to social media to blame the Department of Justice for a presidential executive order that he signed, which proves that Trump has no idea how the government that he is supposed to be running really works.

While discussing the court blocking of the Trump administration's second attempt at a Muslim ban, Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) called White House, "the gang that couldn't shoot straight."
After President Trump had signed the new version of his Muslim ban, the Executive Director of the Anne Frank Center described Trump's ban as racist and unconstitutional.
