The social mediaverse erupted Thursday night after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit declined to restore President Donald Trump’s controversial immigration executive order. The decision provoked an almost immediate response from the president via his favorite medium, Twitter, where he unleashed an irate, all-caps threat to the court system.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 9, 2017

I'm pretty sure Trump thinks the next court this goes to is The People's Court.

I bet Trump is that person who repeatedly presses the caps button rather than just pressing it twice to use all caps. #SEEYOUINCOURT
