Trump Is Facing a Familiar Foe Not Even a Month Into His Second Presidency

We’re back to this crap again: activist liberal judges with their little gavels trying to stop the Trump administration. To its credit, the second Trump presidency appears to be ignoring the rulings to unfreeze billions in federal aid and not reinstating useless government workers who had been furloughed. CNN claims we were barreling toward a constitutional crisis. No, we’re not.  

These rulings are no better than the political opinions on the Washington Post’s editorial page. Simply put, the left doesn’t like that President Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) got the jump on them regarding this mass audit of Washington, so they are trying to stop it. There’s no stopping. Trump should continue because no one has called out any of Joe Biden’s extralegal activities. The man pardoned his entire crime family before he left office, so please spare me any lecture about norms and the rule of law. 

Trump is facing a familiar foe not even a month into his second presidency, and he shouldn’t back away from total war here. There’s no election looming, and he should double down and put the clean-up of DC helmed by DOGE on hyperdrive if this is how the liberal, activist judiciary is going to behave.  

It also rehashes something that should have been settled years ago during the first Trump presidency: curbing the power of district courts. A little court cannot and shouldn’t grind all government in the executive to a halt because it doesn’t like a change in management, which is what this boils down to. We won the 2024 election. It’s time to start acting like it, and I don’t even want to hear the word “appeal.”  

CNN’s Scott Jennings has precisely the right take on this legal circus: little judges shouldn’t dictate and commandeer the actions of the executive branch that are not illegal. Forget it.  

“Screw the courts”—that should be the new motto.  

These little judges made their decision. Let’s see them enforce it. It’s 2025, and I’d like to see a little Jacksonian infusion into this White House on this issue because we know who these forces are and what our enemies plan to do. We know DC has been trying to get Mr. Trump for years.  

Push on, Mr. President. 

This is why we voted for you.
