WASHINGTON ― The morning after a federal judge temporarily blocked enforcement of a travel ban targeting seven Muslim-majority countries, President Donald Trump did what he often does when faced with a challenge: He launched a personal attack on Twitter at someone he saw as an opponent.

Yup, Korean :) I think the media here is especially critical of Donnie because we're going through the process of removing a delusional, dictator-like president ourselves. (Like father, like daughter ugh). There's actually quite a lot of mentions about Bannon, more than I'd expected, because the Korean media see him in the same "mastermind controlling the president" capacity as Choi Soon Sil did for Park Geun Hye.

For us, we needed at least 20 congressmen from the leading party (the president's party) to get the "2/3 of the House" requirement to impeach her (so 200 out of 300), and we ended up getting 234 votes for impeachment. A leading factor for that was the constant protests, and the general atmosphere being very "Anti-PGH," even in areas she considers her home ground. Maybe Republicans could be swayed by public opinion, but then again, Korea has much stricter laws about campaign finance so our congressmen rely much more on listening to their constituents than their American counterparts. Fingers crossed though that they realize the costs outweigh the benefits in the long-run and just dump him though.

Interesting (and slightly OT) thing that came out of this though is that in the span of a year, we went from a two-party system to a four-party system. Last year's vote for reps brought the successful rise of a third party, and overthrowing PGH led to the breakup of her party because the anti-PGH people all left and formed their own party.
