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
But those reading Trump’s tweet immediately pounced on the president’s penchant for bold typography and his continued threats to sue, a strategy the entire Trump family is particularly fond of. Even the likes of Hillary Clinton and the ACLU decided to wade into the online foray:

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
