The Convicted Criminal President HAS pushed the envelope unlike any other President…
He has ALWAYS been a person that tested the rules, law and legal boundaries ….
He IS correct that some of bis voters want him to do what he doing….
While the Media does a continual narrative Trump & Co. crazy, chaotic sometimes ILLEGAL actions?
It IS ONLY the Federal Judge’s and Court’s that have Stopped to him….
(There HAVE been TON’s of other efforts GOING to the Court’s AGAINST Trump & Co.)
Congress has been absent as Trump even tries to steal power from them also…
No modern president has done more in his first 130 days than President Trump — only to have much of it undone, at least temporarily, by the courts.
The big picture: Trump is testing the limits of presidential power at every turn, and the courts are just about the only thing standing in his way.
- The inevitable showdowns between Trump and the judiciary are only going to get more intense.
Judges have issued dozens of orders blocking Trump from doing something he wants to do, and the flood seems to grow every day. The headlines are constant: Judge blocks X; Judge freezes Y; Court allows Z to continue.
- This week’s ruling against Trump’s tariffs — handed down by the usually sleepy Court of International Trade — was one of the biggest shockwaves yet, striking at the centerpiece of his economic agenda and efforts to exert leverage on the world stage.
- That ruling was quickly put on ice, temporarily, by an appeals court. But there will be more tariff litigation, and more litigation on just about everything else.
On education, a federal judge in Boston this week said Trump could not stop Harvard from enrolling international students, at least for now.
- A separate Boston-based judge last week froze Trump’s plans to largely eliminate the Department of Education.
That added to an absolute mountain of litigation over Trump’s various efforts to gut the federal bureaucracy.
- Courts have stopped or slowed some DOGE-led cuts across the government, the firing of people who serve on independent boards, and the laying off of other government workers.
Immigration has been the most explosive flashpoint of all.
- Every court that’s considered Trump’s executive order redefining the rules of American citizenship has ruled against it.
- The administration has pointedly refused to bring back the man it wrongly deported to El Salvador, despite even the Supreme Court telling it to “facilitate” his return.
- Judges in lower courts have blocked similar deportations or ordered the government to provide some sort of hearing before deporting people.
Between the lines: To some extent, this is the system working the same way it always works. The big things presidents do, at least in the modern era, end up in court.
- Obamacare was a big thing, done by both the president and Congress. It’s been before the Supreme Court no less than three times.
- Forgiving student loans and trying to impose COVID vaccine mandates were, for better or worse, big things President Biden attempted. The Supreme Court said both were too big.
Trump has made no bones about wanting to go as big as possible, all the time, on everything — and to do it mostly through executive action. Everyone knew before this administration began that myriad legal challenges were inevitable. And, well, they were.
- Unlike previous presidents, Trump and his allies have relentlessly attacked judges whose rulings block parts of his agenda….
Note….
Ok I forgot….
Wall Street HAS also seemed to stop Donald from deep sixing the Economy….
He maybe at it again though….
