There's one thing stopping Trump: laws. Clearly we need to get rid of them. | Opinion
Let me put this in simple terms, so all the whiny libs out there can understand: We have too many laws, and too many judges interpreting those laws in ways I and the Trump administration don’t like.
You know what I think is bad? The law. It’s clearly a radical-leftist trap set up to make my hero, President Donald Trump, look dumb as he works tirelessly to Make America Great Again.
I keep seeing headlines like this:
“Trade court blocks President Trump's tariffs, ruling they exceed legal authority.”
And sentences like this, from Paste BN: “A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from collecting tariffs from a pair of Illinois toy importers, the second court in two days to nullify President Donald Trump’s top strategy for trade deals.”
That really burns my biscuits.
Why are all these 'judges' and 'laws' so opposed to Trump
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said of the judges who recently blocked Trump’s tariffs: “These judges are threatening to undermine the credibility of the United States on the world stage.”
Damn straight, Ms. Leavitt. Undermining the credibility of the United States on the world stage is President Trump’s job, and I’ll be switched if I’m going to stand for some uptight judges trying to steal his thunder.
Let me put this in simple terms, so all the whiny libs out there can understand: We have too many laws, and too many judges interpreting those laws in ways I and the Trump administration don’t like.
You can't throw a MAGA hat without hitting a judge blocking Trump on something
Just look at the headlines that come up when I put “judge orders Trump administration” into the Google machine:
- “Federal judge orders Trump administration to restore some research on women’s health and transgender mental health issues.”
- “Judge orders Trump administration to allow attorneys access to Venezuelan man in Salvadoran prison.”
- “Judge orders Trump administration to pursue return of improperly deported Guatemalan man.”
- “Federal judge orders Trump administration to restore legal aid for undocumented children.”
- “Judge orders Trump administration to restore $12 million for pro-democracy Radio Free Europe.”
- "Federal judge orders Trump administration to unblock pandemic relief funding.”
- “Federal judge orders Trump administration to track deported immigrants to South Sudan.”
- “Judge orders Trump administration to reinstate Education Department employees.”
Don't these judges have something better to do?
Geez, bossy much, judges? It’s like for every action our glorious president takes, there’s a stupid law that says he can’t do it, and an equally stupid judge rudely telling him he has to “obey the law.”
According to The New York Times, which I don’t read because it’s liberal propaganda, as of May 29 at least 181 court rulings have “at least temporarily paused some of the administration’s initiatives.”
At least 181? Are you trying to tell me the guy I voted for, because he’s a tough fighter and a convicted felon who has always shown a reckless disregard for the rule of law, has been trying to break or bend laws more than 180 times?
That seems unlikely.
For Trump to succeed, it's clear we need to weed out laws
No, the obvious problem here is the narc judges, many of whom Trump himself appointed, who keep getting presented with evidence from both sides, rationally weighing that evidence in the context of America’s longstanding laws and then ruling in favor of the side that isn’t President Trump. That is both rude and ungrateful.
I was all in favor of laws back when I believed without evidence that President Joe Biden was trying to break them all. But it’s a new age, and we need to let Trump be Trump.
If we want the president to continue the MAGA agenda, we’re going to need to do away with a lot of the “law” and “order” getting in his way. It’s either that or ask the president of the United States and his administration to respect the laws of the land and the judges appointed to uphold those laws.
Nah. That sounds like crazy lib talk to me.
