3:47Now PlayingTrump may have just permanently sunk his own travel ban. John Iadarola, Ana Kasparian, and Michael Shure, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you how. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Donald Trump has used social media to launch a fresh defence of his Muslim travel ban.
“People, the lawyers and the courts can call it whatever they want, but I am calling it what we need and what it is, a TRAVEL BAN!” he said on Twitter, in a posting at 6am.
He added: “In any event we are EXTREME VETTING people coming into the US in order to help keep our country safe. The courts are slow and political!”
In the aftermath of the attack in London that left seven people dead, along with three assailants, Mr Trump was criticised for seeking to quickly use it to promote his views on immigration. He also attacked London Mayor Sadiq Khan of soft-peddling on the attackers, despite Mr Khan declaring that the assault was a “deliberate and cowardly attack on innocent Londoners”.
“We will never let these cowards win, and we will never be cowed by terrorism,” he added.
In a flurry of tweets – which the media is now increasingly recognising as White House statements delivered by the President on Twitter – he urged the Justice Department to ask for an “expedited hearing” at the high court and seek a “much tougher version” of the order temporarily blocking entry to the US from a half-dozen majority Muslim countries.“
