President Donald Trump reportedly hosted a screening of the movie Finding Dory on Sunday while protests erupted across the world in response to an executive order banning travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries.
Soon after protests broke out over green card holders being detained at U.S. airports on Saturday, the White House released a Sunday schedule which reserved the president's afternoon for a movie screening.
The WH just released Trump's schedule for tomorrow amid what's become a major national/international crisis.

CNN producer Kevin Liptak revealed on Sunday that the president's family had chosen to screen Finding Dory, Pixar's film about a cartoon fish who is torn apart from her family and placed in a public aquarium.

To do:
1. Block US entry based on religion.
2. Stop women from controlling their own bodies.
3. Terrify a nation.
4. Watch Finding Dory. https://t.co/TNmVFG2fwA— Amy Buchwald (@amybuchwald) January 29, 2017
At 3pm, Trump is hosting a screening of Finding Dory, a movie about what happens when you're separated from your family.
