Amid multiple court battles and damaging tweets, President Trump just lost an appeal to remove the freeze on his travel ban in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. And now we have an example of that exact thing happening — on one of his top priorities, no less: his beleaguered travel ban. If Trump's tweets are fair game to build a legal case against him, well — that's not good news for Trump. Trump's tweets on the travel ban didn't just contradict his agenda; they undermined it. Judges at one of the highest levels of the U.S. legal system noticed — and used it against him a court of law.
