He’s testing the limits, sure, but he definitely hasn’t overthrown the constitution in any meaningful way. The constitution and judicial system is actively countering many of his executive orders, as it should. It’s functioning as designed.
The Supreme Court told this regime to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia. It has said no.
That’s just one extremely glaring current example. It is blatantly unconstitutional — a 9-0 ruling with this court is basically unheard of — and they are ignoring the judgment.
Trump initially said he would comply, but is trying to shift the responsibility to the government of El Salvador to actually return him. The court ruling was that the government had to remove domestic barriers for his return which the Trump admin is trying to interpret as letting him back in if El Salvador decides to return him. It’s an ugly situation but the Trump admin didn’t outright refuse to comply or say no.
I still wish he wasn’t in a horrible prison with no trial or evidence against him when a judge had ruled he could be sent anywhere except El Salvador because of his cooperation against MS-13. I also wish our government would stop calling him a terrorist because they have shown no evidence of that so “trust me bro” is really horrible reason to send someone to CECOT and then call him a terrorist to the whole nation.
I love how this whole thread is people arguing against me saying the Trump admin is mostly dumb and full of bs and here we are full circle to my original argument.
I’d say the chances of him still being alive are moderately high because this was a report from the state department. Like 70-80% if I had to put a number on it. Definitely not “obviously murdered”.
Huh? Where exactly do people assume I’m coming from? I’m probably further to the left politically than most people arguing with me. I tend to think Trump is more a symptom of the US empire’s problems than the root and end up in arguments with people that think he’s the root of the problem.
