International celebrities are standing up to US President Trump's Muslim visa ban.
Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Sia and Mark Ruffalo are amongst those who are disgusted by Tump's decision to ban Muslims from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the US for the next 90 days, and to suspend the admission of all refugees for 120 days.
Thanks to the right-wing president, chaos erupted at airports across America and the world on Friday.
Barbados-born superstar Rihanna said that she is "disgusted" by this "devastating news."
Disgusted! The news is devastating! America is being ruined right before our eyes! What an immoral pig you have to be to implement such BS!!
