People, the lawyers and the courts can call it whatever they want, but I am calling it what we need and what it is, a TRAVEL BAN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2017
It didn't stop there. Apparently as a response to the Morning Joe on MSNBC, Trump also tweeted this:
The Justice Dept. should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version they submitted to S.C.

The Justice Dept. should ask for an expedited hearing of the watered down Travel Ban before the Supreme Court - & seek much tougher version!

In any event we are EXTREME VETTING people coming into the U.S. in order to help keep our country safe. The courts are slow and political!

It got so bad that even Kellyanne Conway's husband had to subtly tell Trump to shut up:
These tweets may make some ppl feel better, but they certainly won't help OSG get 5 votes in SCOTUS, which is what actually matters. Sad. https://t.co/zVhcyfm8Hr

He's referring to the fact that the Muslim Ban will be reviewed by the Supreme Court. And if 5 Justices strike it down, it will end permanently.
But that wasn't the only issue Trump made an ass of himself on Twitter for. Then he changed the channel to Fox News and said this:
.@foxandfriends Dems are taking forever to approve my people, including Ambassadors. They are nothing but OBSTRUCTIONISTS! Want approvals.

Turns out that's false. Trump hasn't even nominated people for 442 positions. And of the 63 nomninations he did issue, 39 nominations have been confirmed. But the bulk of the positions don't even have a nominee.
No wonder today Kellyanne Conway and Sarah Huckabee Sanders had to throw the towel and complain about the media focusing on Trump's tweets.
Ooh! ooh! I know the answer to that one! What is "because he's the president," Alex?
UPDATE: By the way, Trump posted this on Facebook:
Trump's Facebook page is running a video highlighting today's "TRAVEL BAN" tweets paired w/ booming orchestra music https://t.co/AJCIUfUBMo pic.twitter.com/erwxOz3lYm

Is Kellyanne Conway going to ask again why is the media "obsessed" with Trump's tweets?
