On Wednesday, President Donald Trump tweeted about his ongoing feud with our country’s court system over his travel ban, which was instituted, then rolled back by a judge in Washington state.
Lawyers from the Department of Justice argued the government’s case in front of a panel of federal appellate judges on Tuesday and now the country waits as the court mulls the case.
In the meantime, however, Trump seemed to insinuate in his tweet that the decision should be easy.
Big increase in traffic into our country from certain areas, while our people are far more vulnerable, as we wait for what should be EASY D!

Some people were just confused.
Easy D? Is this some new lingo that I’m not cool enough to understand? https://t.co/Om4WhZGHb8

That time when you see “Easy D” trending and you wonder if there’s an 80s rapper you never heard of making a comeback. And then…nope.

But, the internet being what it is, you can’t just go tweeting the term “EASY D” in all caps and not expect a torrent of jokes to follow.
To wit:
@realDonaldTrump Easy D came before Easy E. This is where Easy E learned to rap.

Eazy-E > Easy D

Not everyone took the humorous-rap-name path though.
George W. Bush got thru college with the Gentleman’s C; best Trump could manage was the Easy D. #resist

And, of course, there was a deluge of not-safe-for-work replies.
@TheRichWilkins “Easy D” sounds like an insult from an alternative universe in which men are the ones who get slut-shamed

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning for Easy D.

Just think: somewhere right now, two White House staffers are discussing how to tell the President of the United States what “Easy D” means
