This is just coming in, and the news alleged that the Acting Attorney General of United State, Sally Yates has been fired by President Trump, minutes after releasing statement urging Justice Department not to entertain Trump’s executive order banning ‘Muslims’ and refugees...

The Trump's executive order seems to be selective or it is selective, in the sense that, it favours those countries he has good relationship with (super-rich Muslims and Countries), where he has business interest... But should President Trump's personal interest override that of the United State or her citizens? ...sometimes I feel, Trump just love to trend on twitter, as he enjoys fiddling with his phone tweeting on irrelevant things...like 'banning is hair cut'....
