“Guess you better send Melania back too.”
It’s been less than two weeks since Donald Trump became President of the United States, but he’s managed to shock the world with his drastic executive orders, one of the most significant being the Muslim Ban, which blocks citizens from seven Muslim countries from entering the US.
Ever since the order came into effect on Saturday, people’s outrage over the new President’s ruthless politics has been huge. The streets of many US cities are packed with people protesting, there are lawyers at airports working pro bono to help refugees, and the internet is flooded with essays, interviews, and social media posts condemning the immigration ban.
And like all good social uproars, Trump opposers, including many notable celeb figures, took to Twitter to voice their opinions and uncover the hypocrisy of the controversial ban, delivering some seriously epic burns…

P.S. My grandparents were immigrants. The woman making us pizza right now is Muslim. And I’m grateful for all of them. #NoBan

If you think fertilized eggs are people but refugee kids aren’t, you’re going to have to stop pretending your concerns are religious.

Some perspective on the threat that Americans face from Muslims in the US. Maybe Trump should ban something else? pic.twitter.com/4JoxEsUjwQ
