#BoycottHawaii trends on Twitter after Trump travel ban blocked

Motivated by Hawaii’s move to block President Donald Trump’s travel ban, supporters have launched a social media campaign to boycott the Aloha State.

The hashtag #BoycottHawaii took off on Twitter today after an angry Trump told a rally in Nashville Wednesday night that the ruling by U.S. District Judge Derrick K. Watson in Honolulu to temporarily block the president’s revised travel ban would make the U.S. weaker.

Describing it as “terrible” and “an unprecedented judicial overreach,” Trump vowed to appeal it to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The #BoycottHawaii hashtag continued to trend on Twitter this afternoon, as Trump supporters and opponents exchanged jabs over the idea of making the islands pay for Watson’s decision.
