After a federal judge in Hawaii put on hold President Donald Trump's revised executive order barring travel from a list of predominantly Muslim countries, Trump complained at a rally in Nashville, Tennessee, that he did not want the "watered-down" version of the order.
"Remember this, I wasnt thrilled that the lawyers all said, Oh, lets tailor it. This is a watered-down version of the first one," he told the crowd. "This is a watered down version, and let me tell you something. I think we ought to go back to the first one and go all the way, which is what I wanted to do in the first place.
Trump vowed to defend his order.
"This ruling makes us look weak. Which by the way, we no longer are, believe me. Just look at our borders. We are going to fight this terrible rule," he said at the rally.
