Another added, 'Trump stumbles while boarding Air Force One. Joe Biden vibes or maybe characteristics of body double.'

Create Account Ilya Somin is representing five American small businesses who had a hearing before the U.S. Court of International Trade last week in an effort to block Trump's sweeping 'reciprocal' tariff agenda. Trump declared an emergency around trade deficits to use the International Economic Emergency Powers Act to hit nearly every country with tariffs in April. The president partially walked back the most devastating duties a few hours later saying the 90-day pause would give countries time to negotiate a deal. Somin says the statute Trump used doesn't even mention tariffs and trade deficits are not a national emergency. In a separate case this week, 12 states also argued before court that the president exceeded his authority with the tariffs, including by hitting Canada with duties.

Create Account Supporters talk of 'flooding the zone,' believing U.S. President Donald Trump is making so many changes so quickly that his opposition is reduced to deer-in-the-headlights infancy. They must be right when the nation suffers daily Democratic pottymouth videos, vandalism of Teslas, infantile meltdowns at congressional witnesses, rioting against federal agents to protect illegal alien felons, protesting on behalf of women beaters, MS-13 gangbangers, human traffickers, assaulters, and visa-holding violent students praising Hamas terrorists. In contrast, opponents either claim that Trump's first three months are either directionless chaos or a Hitlerian nightmare or both. But what is really happening?

One, Trump is finally addressing the problems that proverbially 'cannot go on forever, and so they won't go on.' When, if ever, would the left have closed the southern border? After 10, 30, 50 million illegal aliens? How many more criminal illegal entrants was the Biden administration willing to allow into American neighbourhoods — 500,000? One million? Three million? How long was the world simply going to ignore the human destruction on the doorstep of Europe? Would former President Joe Biden or former Vice President Kamala Harris have sought a ceasefire? Or would it have taken another 1.5, three, or even five million more dead, wounded, and missing Ukrainians and Russians? Nor did past administrations ever seek a solution to the massive national debt, much less the uncontrollable budget and trade deficits.

All prior presidents passed the day of judgment on to some vague future presidency, assured that their money printing would at least not blow up on their watch. All moaned that China was piling up huge trade surpluses while denying its own population the usual modern safety net. They knew Beijing's aim was to use the trillions of dollars in trade surpluses to build a new massive military, a greater arsenal of nuclear bombs, and a new imperial Belt and Road overseas empire. Yet no administration did anything but greenlight American outsourcing and offshoring while ignoring Chinese trade cheating and technology theft. Indeed, prior presidencies appeased and enriched China on the foolish belief that such indulgence would lead to Chinese prosperity, and with such Western-style affluence, soon a globalized, democratic, and supposedly friendly China.

In sum, we just witnessed all at once a 100-day, 360-degree effort to address all the existential challenges that we knew were unsustainable but were either afraid or incompetent to address. Second, the administration apparently wants to confront the source of these crises and believes it is the progressive project. The left maintains real political power not by grass-roots popularity, but rather by unelected institutional clout. The party of democracy uses anti-democratic means to achieve its ends of perpetual control. It wages lawfare through the weaponization of the state, local, and federal courts. It exercises executive power through cherry-picked federal district and circuit judges and their state and local counterparts. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The permanent bureaucracies and huge federal workforce are mostly left-wing, unionized, and weaponized by a progressive apparat. Their supreme directive is to amalgamate legislative, judicial, and executive power into the hands of the unelected Anthony Faucis, Jim Comeys, and Lois Lerners of the world — and thus to override or ignore both popular plebiscites and the work of the elected Congress. Over 90% of the media — legacy, network, social, and state — are left wing. Their mission is not objectivity but, admittedly, indoctrination. Academia is the font of the progressive project. Ninety percent of the professoriate are left wing and activist — explaining why campuses believe they are above the rules and laws of the Constitution, the Supreme Court, and the U.S. Congress. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Add into the mix the blue-chip Accela corridor law firms and the globalized corporate and revolving-door political elite. The net result is clear: Almost everything the vast majority of Americans and their elected representatives did not want — far-left higher education, a Pravda media, biological men destroying women's sports, an open border, 30 million illegal aliens, massive debt, a weaponized legal system, and a politicized Pentagon — became the new culture of America. Read More So, Trump is not just confronting unaddressed existential crises but also the root causes of why, when, and how they become inevitable and nearly unsolvable. His answer is a messy, knock-down-drag-out counterrevolution to reboot the country back to the middle where it once was and where the Founders believed it should remain. His right and left opponents call such pushback chaotic, disruptive, and out of control. But the counterrevolution appears disorderly and upsetting, mostly to those who originally birthed the chaos; it certainly does not to the majority of Americans who finally wanted an end to the madness.

Trump agenda hangs in balance as key vote fails
US President Donald Trump speaks to members of the media accompanying him aboard Airforce One. Image: Brendan Smialowski/ AFP Republican fiscal hawks on Friday sunk a key vote on advancing the mega-bill that is the centerpiece of Donald Trump's domestic agenda, in a significant setback for the US president's tax and spending policies. Trump is pushing to usher into law his so-called "One Big, Beautiful Bill" pairing an extension of his first-term tax cuts with savings that will see millions of the poorest Americans lose their health care coverage. But a deeply divided congressional Republican Party with varying competing priorities has complicated the process, raising serious doubts that the sprawling package can pass a vote of the full House of Representatives next week. Despite a social media post by Trump calling holdouts in his party "grandstanders," five conservatives in the Republican-led House Budget Committee joined Democrats on Friday to reject the legislation. "This bill falls profoundly short. It does not do what we say it does with respect to the deficit. We are writing checks we cannot cash and our children are going to pay the price," said Texas conservative Chip Roy. The panel was tasked with bundling together the 11 different bills Republicans have approved over the last few weeks through their policy committees -- typically a perfunctory, if necessary, step on the way to the House floor. The budget committee's no vote is not the final word on the package, which will be reworked and sent back to the committee next week. But it laid bare disagreements that have so far proved intractable between the party's coastal moderates and its right flank that could still spin the president's agenda off the rails.

Next Stay Close ✕ The Energy and Commerce Committee has passed cuts totalling more than $880 billion over a decade from health care programs, mostly from the Medicaid health insurance program for 70 million low-income Americans. The Congressional Budget Office found that the panel's work would mean 8.6 million additional people losing health insurance -- stoking concerns among Republican moderates. But conservatives are furious that the package does not go far enough in cutting government spending -- pointing specifically to work requirements for Medicaid entitlement that do not kick in until the end of Trump's term. The so-called SALT Republicans -- a faction demanding bigger deductions in state and local taxes -- are also at loggerheads with Republican leadership. House Speaker Mike Johnson is expected to spend the weekend seeking compromise with his party's rebels, before another attempt to pass the bill through the budget panel on Monday. But it will be a fraught balancing act, as any concession he makes to the debt hawks could cause a chain reaction of defections from the moderates. Republican senators meanwhile have made no secret of their intention to make major changes when the package reaches the upper chamber. "We've been talking with the House and there's a lot of things we agree on... But there'll be changes in a number of areas," John Hoeven of North Dakota told NBC. AFP
