Trump: `If something happens blame` the judge
President Donald Trump spent the weekend at his Mar-A-Lago estate in Florida, disconnected from White House staff and once again tweeting attacks on a federal judge.
His ire was aimed at US District Judge James Robart, who last week put a nationwide hold on Trump`s executive order barring citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US for 90 days, all refugees for 120 days and indefinitely halts refugees from Syria.

"Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!" the President wrote, not just attacking the decision but going after the judge who may yet make more decisions on the matter.

People close to the White House said over the weekend that Trump`s attacks will be a problem -- particularly as his administration shepherds his Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch toward confirmation.
