No one voted for federal judges to oppose every little thing he does in an effort to stop 100% of the agenda the majority of Americans voted for.
So you want to throw away the Constitution because voters voted for a President?

This happens once Americans stop voting for them.
It's an easy solution.

The president and the courts have more power than they were ever intended. Legislative branch gave it all away.

Why was it constitutional for Clinton to lay off federal workers but unconstitutional when Trump did it? People see how Trump is treated differently than other presidents even if some don't want to admit it.

SCOTUS actually can’t reinterpret the constitution & think we don’t know how to fckg comprehend it.

At the end of the day it's all about stopping Trump, and whatever he does, end of story, you can paint it any way you like, it is what it is, I've said it before and I'll say it again the COURTS, Not Trump, are creating something, that is gonna backfire.
Right now this is about deportations, and Trump is doing exactly what he was elected to do, and the courts are trying to prevent him from sending ILLEGALS out of the U S. Nothing about what he's doing is unlawful, frick it's so obvious it's funny but it's not funny

Bc he has no principles.

I think you may be confused I'm not suggesting that he is necessarily acting like a dictator It's just surprising when people are pissed that he can't act like a dictator. Wanting the executive branch to just rule by decree unchecked is very short sighted.
Read this again and tell me it’s not stupid.
You don’t think he’s acting like a dictator, but people are pissed because…he can’t act like one? What?

Except it’s not. Trumps agenda is largely based around fixing and correcting shitty policy that all 3 branches are responsible for.
Where the hell was the judiciary stopping the migrant invasion under Biden? Where (literally) was Biden? Congress got some sound bites, but they have also been MIA.
We have been without leadership and it shows. Everyone is sick of this “both sides” shite because neither of those sides seem to represent the majority will of the people. In reality, this has been a completely one sided affair.

trying to fix our country (that you DEMS broke) does not make him a dictator!

It’s really the perfect setup. Fragmented into so many pieces and election cycles, self-preservation is paramount, nothing actually changes. They are absolutely the problem.

quote:They don't. We have a weak executve by design. Trump is trying to do more by executive action than anyone in my memory. It was always going t be a tough road. I warned of this during the campaign. Trump's inability to get anything done legislatively dooms him to ineffectiveness. This is Trump's weakness, not the courts overpowering him.

American government is specifically designed to provide protection for the minority. The majority candidate would just be a dictator otherwise.

Retard ^
The dems and courts would be doing this to whoever the president is. It’s hilarious you think it’s trumps weakness.

He doesn’t know.
It’s funny he says he called this out that it would be trumps weakness, he also predicted that Trump wouldn’t win. So there’s that too.
