The Week That Proved Trump Is Far From Invincible

Recent court decisions indicate that President Trump’s unlawful actions are under scrutiny.

This week, federal judges ruled against most of Trump’s tariffs, labeling them as illegal. The lawsuits were brought by a libertarian group and a coalition of states, accusing Trump of misusing his powers. Despite the administration appealing the ruling and temporarily halting the tariffs, this could serve as an exit from the ongoing tariff disputes.

Trump, who spent Memorial Day criticizing the judiciary, may shift focus to other matters after the setback. An event where donors paid millions for access to Trump at a dinner has sparked controversy and may reflect poorly on the administration.

Additionally, Trump’s relationship with Elon Musk has soured, with Musk criticizing Trump’s policies. This marks a significant shift from their previous camaraderie.

Meanwhile, courts have resisted Trump’s policies, including executive orders, deportations, and detention practices. While Trump’s administration continues to face challenges, there are signs that its influence may be waning.

The events of this week suggest a potential shift in the administration’s fortunes, highlighting vulnerabilities that were not as apparent before.
