And finally… like it or Trump it

A federal judge presiding at a citizenship swearing-in ceremony told US citizens that Donald Trump is “your president, and if you don’t like that, you need to go to another country.”

Judge John Primono in San Antonio told KENS-TV his statement was not political and that he did not vote for President-elect Trump.

He is reported as having said: “I can assure you that whether you voted for him or you did not vote for him, if you are a citizen of the United States, he is your president. He will be your president, and if you do not like that, you need to go to another country.”

The station reported that Judge Primono was critical of protestors waving placards with “He’s not my president” written on them.

Judge Primono has since said his comments were taken out of context.
