text: Less than two hours after a federal judge in Hawaii issued a nationwide temporary restraining order on the Trump administration's revised travel ban, the president slammed the decision as "an unprecedented judicial overreach." 
   
   A day before the executive order was to take effect, U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson blocked the limitations on travel and immigration. Watson's ruling in Hawaii Wednesday noted that "a reasonable, objective observer… would conclude" that the ban "was issued with a purpose to disfavor a particular religion." 
   
   Speaking Wednesday night at a rally at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium, President Trump said the court was motivated by "political reasons," adding that he expected to be "criticized ... for speaking harshly about our courts." 
   
   "The order... blocked was a watered-down version of the first order that was also blocked by another judge and should have never been blocked to start with," Trump said. 
   
   He added, "This ruling makes us look weak." 
   
   The decision in Hawaii was just the latest hindrance to Trump's ongoing promise to protect the country from terrorism. He has continuously argued a temporary limit on travel is necessary while an "extreme vetting" process is instituted to better gauge the potential threat of those wishing to enter. 
   
   Trump signed the revised executive order on March 6, replacing his January 27 ban which was met with widespread protests and legal challenges after travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa were prevented from travelling to the U.S. The original order was blocked by a federal judge's temporary restraining order in Washington state in February -- a move that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals later declined to stay. 
   
   The president noted at the rally that steps were taken to defend the order against further disputation, saying, "This new order was tailored to the dictates of the 9th Circuit's -- in my opinion -- flawed ruling." 
   
   He went on to vow that his administration would continue to pursue the matter in court, a promise similar to the one he made after the first executive order was restrained. Trump tweeted in February, "SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!" 
   
   That pledge was broken when the revised order rescinded the original. 
   
   "We are going to fight this terrible rule," Trump said at the Nashville rally. "We are going to take our case as far as it needs to go, including all the way up to the Supreme Court. We are going to win. We are going to keep our citizens safe and regardless, we are going to keep our citizens safe, believe me." ||||| Please enable Javascript to watch this video 
   
   NASHVILLE, Tenn. - President Donald J. Trump made a speech at a rally in Nashville Wednesday night. 
   
   President Trump spent the day celebrating his predecessor Andrew Jackson, hailing the former president as an inspiration and drawing comparisons between them. 
   
   Trump said on the 250th anniversary of Jackson's birth that Jackson was "one of our great presidents." 
   
   He said Jackson opposed the "arrogant elite" and asked the audience: "Does that sound familiar to you?" 
   
   President Trump spoke in front of the Hermitage, Jackson's home in Nashville, Tennessee, which he toured before delivering remarks. 
   
   He said the visit was "inspirational," and added that "I'm a fan." 
   
   Looking forward to a big rally in Nashville, Tennessee, tonight. Big crowd of great people expected. Will be fun! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 15, 2017 
   
   President Donald Trump lay a wreath at the tomb of Andrew Jackson on the 250th anniversary of the former president's birth. 
   
   Trump stood at the grave, his hand raised in a salute, as taps was played. 
   
   Jackson has enjoyed a moment of resurgence thanks to Trump. During the campaign, some of Trump's aides took to comparing him to the former president, a fellow populist outsider who took on a member of the Washington establishment and ran a campaign railing against corrupt elites. 
   
   The museum's president said attendance has surged since the November election.

target: – President Trump held a campaign-style rally in Nashville, Tenn., Wednesday night, and a federal judge's blocking of his new travel ban hours earlier was one of his chief topics. The president slammed the Hawaii judge's decision as "unprecedented judicial overreach" and accused the court of acting for "political reasons," ABC News reports. The order blocked "was a watered-down version of the first order that was also blocked by another judge and should have never been blocked to start with," Trump told the raucous crowd, adding: "This ruling makes us look weak, which we no longer are." He vowed to fight the "terrible rule" all the way up to the Supreme Court if necessary, to "keep our citizens safe." At the rally, which followed a day of events marking Andrew Jackson's 250th birthday, Trump praised the controversial leader as one of America's great presidents, and one who opposed the "arrogant elite," WHNT reports. "Does that sound familiar?" he asked the crowd. During his 40-minute speech, Trump also praised his administration's accomplishments so far and repeated his promise to repeal ObamaCare, which he said is now in a "catastrophic situation," the Tennessean reports. "It's time for us to embrace our glorious national destiny," he said at the end of his remarks. Several protesters were removed during his speech, including a woman with a "Medicare for all" sign.
