Donald Trump doesn’t just invent things – he changes the facts if the first set of facts doesn’t work out as hoped. For example, his vowed to act and now he has: Rather than take credit for his failed decision, the so-called president is claiming it was a Department of Homeland Security decision:
What is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into U.S.?

Because the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country. A terrible decision

Why aren’t the lawyers looking at and using the Federal Court decision in Boston, which is at conflict with ridiculous lift ban decision?

CNN’s Ana Navarro was quick to point to the real culprits in the Trump administration (if not Trump himself):
Not a Homeland Security Tavel ban. It’s an unconstitutional ban cooked up by couple of malevolent and incompetent keystone cops in Trump WH. https://t.co/JjytDyx0Pq

Donald Trump can’t stand to lose. Unfortunately for him, there is nothing he can do right now but fume and lie. Though these are two things he excels at, they will get him nowhere.
The Department of Homeland Security did not issue the ban. Donald Trump did. Telling lies now won’t change the fact that he tried to ban Muslims from these shores and failed – failed spectacularly.
