They say timing is everything …
President Trump on Sunday hosted a kid-friendly White House movie screening about a family struggling to reunite as thousands of protesters massed outside Sunday to call for an end to his travel ban against certain foreigners.
“No wall, no ban,” protesters chanted outside the White House as Trump continued with his 3 p.m. moving screening of “Finding Dory” for staffers and their children in the White House family theater. The movie is about a fish separated from her family who gets caught and quarantined in her search for them.
Critics couldn’t help but point out the irony as protesters were accusing the Trump Administration of keeping families apart through airport detentions.
“Finding Dory is the story of someone unlawfully detained while trying to visit her family,” tweeted one user, Jason Sparks.
President Trump Friday imposed a ban on Syrian refugees and issued a temporary prohibition of citizens of seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the US: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
Trump campaigned on the ban and believes it’s necessary for American security.
