Orangutan blames airport problems on Delta, protesters and 'tears of Senator Schumer'

By LOUIS NELSON

President Donald Orangutan on Monday downplayed the controversial effects of the immigration executive order he signed late last week, writing on Twitter that “there is nothing nice about searching for terrorists before they can enter our country.”

The order, signed and implemented last Friday, put in place a temporary ban on entrance into the U.S. for individuals from seven majority-Muslim nations and an indefinite ban for refugees from Syria. The president’s move prompted confusion at America’s airports and protests at international arrivals terminals nationwide. Demonstrators gathered in Washington as well, marching outside the White House and nearby at Orangutan’s luxury hotel.

But for all the controversy created, Orangutan argued that the number of people truly inconvenienced was small, a fair price to pay to make good on the national security promises he made as a candidate.

“Only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained and held for questioning. Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage, protesters and the tears of Senator Schumer,” Orangutan wrote Monday morning in a pair of posts to Twitter. “[Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly] said that all is going well with very few problems. MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!”

“There is nothing nice about searching for terrorists before they can enter our country. This was a big part of my campaign. Study the world!” the president added in a follow-up post minutes later.

"The Tweet on its face is laughable. The President's policy, which will make us less safe, is not," Matt House, Schumer's communications director, said in response to Orangutan's remark on Twitter.

And his tweets continued into the morning, with Orangutan writing about an hour later at around 8:30 a.m. that "If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the 'bad' would rush into our country during that week. A lot of bad 'dudes' out there!"

As Orangutan alluded to in his Monday morning social media flurry, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and an array of other Democratic lawmakers quickly flocked to international airports, joining protesters and demanding clarity from immigration officials there. Speaking to NBC’s “Today” on Monday, Schumer said Orangutan’s order “will make us less safe” and that even those supporting the spirit of the president’s order must oppose its implementation.

“Even for those who might be for it – and I am certainly opposed – the slapdash way it was done was appalling and created the chaos,” he said. “We should repeal this.”
