Should Trump ignore travel ban judges?

Hours before it was to take effect, President Donald Trump's revised travel ban was put on hold Wednesday, March 15, 2017, by Watson, a federal judge in Hawaii who questioned whether the administration was motivated by national security concerns.

I want Democrats to understand that they are now replacing a right that presidents have previously had and are giving it control to a judge in Hawaii. We are witnessing a left wing judicial coup.

Democrats are stripping President Trump of his executive powers. President Donald Trump said last week that immigration is a privilege not a right. He also said that the safety of our citizens must always come first.
Very responsible lawyers have been saying that it is the president’s responsibility to ignore these judges who have ruled against his travel bans. What if the United States was under attack and a judge opposed the president? Trump would be in his rights to ignore that judge’s injunction.
We are witnessing an attempt at a coup.
Democrats, you can hate Donald Trump. But you cannot love the process of seeing an unquestionable right of a president done away with; because if you choose to love that, it will come back to haunt you. And you are begging for chaos.
As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
