The lawsuits are piling up daily…..
Trump & Co. are likely to lose a good many of them….
They already have….
The next problem for the Emperor and his flunky is going to the Republicans in Congress….
Cuts fronted by Musk and GOPer RightWing Nut’s in the Triilions are NOT gonna make the cut come March when spending bills are up for votes…
All this as they do get small gains….
But the cost and friction ARE already starting to accumulate…..
This time, the resistance is unfolding in the courts rather than the streets.
FBI agents are suing over Trump’s plans to target agents who investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol rioters. Unions have asked a judge to block Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing Americans’ personal information. A coalition of educators has challenged the president’s move to kill diversity programs.

Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow with the conservative Heritage Foundation, said the Constitution gives Trump the power to run the executive branch the way he wants — regardless of Congress’s efforts to limit him
…
Still, Trump is arguably giving his opponents an opening by pursuing so many actions that are contrary to the text of various laws, from firing people without required notice to freezing spending allocated by Congress to seeking to shutter agencies created by statute.
…
There is little evidence of that exhaustion on either side. The Just Security website has compiled a list of more than two dozen lawsuits filed against Trump’s actions so far.
…
Von Spakovsky said that even if lower courts initially rule against Trump, the Supreme Court may ultimately take a different view. “The executive branch under the Constitution is under the authority of the president, and when Congress passes laws limiting authority of the executive branch, they are violating the Constitution,” he said. “That hasn’t been brought up before the Supreme Court in a long time.”
…
Still, Trump’s critics acknowledge that such gestures go only so far, and some say privately that their best hope may be to wait for Trump to make a damaging political mistake, as many presidents do in the months following a heady victory.
In the meantime, they can go to court….

President Donald Trump’s agenda is hitting speed bumps on Capitol Hill, as Republican infighting over spending levels threatens to halt a massive package of tax cuts, energy policy, healthcare and border security funds.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., initially said his conference would take the first steps this week to move the bill. But as the week progressed, Republican lawmakers realized they would miss that deadline, as fiscal hawks said they could not support the massive package without more spending cuts.
“We’re stuck in the mud,” Rep. Bryon Donalds, R-Fla., told CNBC as he left a meeting of House Republicans on Wednesday. “There’s a lot of, what do they call it, paralysis of analysis? And I think at this point, we need to just make a clear decision.”
The upcoming effort to pass Trump’s legislative agenda offers Republicans, who control the House, Senate and the White House, their first opportunity to show voters how serious they are about cutting spending and reducing the national debt.
House GOP leaders initially proposed cutting several hundred billion dollars over a 10-year period by making changes to Medicaid, adding work requirements for able bodied adults with no dependents.
But that was not enough for many of the conference’s fiscal hawks, who want to see upwards of $2 trillion in cuts.
The more cuts Republican leaders agree to make to a top line number at this early stage, however, the less money they will have to work with later on, when it’s time to decide which priorities to fund….
“Speaker Mike Johnson will go to the White House with a group of House Republicans today to meet with President Donald Trump about the budget resolution,” Punchbowl News reports.
“It’s not even five weeks into the 119th Congress and the White House and Senate Republicans are already growing tired of waiting for House Republicans to get their act together.”
“How do you think the Republican trifecta is doing?”
Note…
Modern day American Presidents have ALL been politicians ….
Accepting the ‘ground rules’ of the office of the Presidency….
Donald Trump is NOT that….
A Real Estate guy from New York , who typically worked to get around laws and regulation’s and played ‘it loose’ IS the Anti-Government guy 49% of voters cast their ballot’s for lkast November, knowing that he IS a convicted felon with business bakrupies and owning hundreds of millions of dollars in judgement fee’s…..
We ARE getting what we got warned about….
There IS no doubt that the US Govt. has waste….
Has probably too many employee’s….
But the way Musk and Co. are going at this IS going to come back to haunt the President…
And Republicans and a LOT of people who voted for the trash talking Real Estate felon …
This IS the worse of things right now….
