Trump is not openly violating federal court orders. It appears to be going to the very edge of what’s legal in responding to the orders. That response may or may not be wise, either politically or legally. But the White House has the right to play hardball with its opponents and not give an inch past what the courts rule. It also has the right to define its own view of what the rulings mean and to force its opponents back to court if they don’t agree. There are sophisticated lawyers on both sides of these lawsuits. They are doing everything they can both in the courts and the court of public opinion to shape the outcomes.

Guess what? The biden regime used exactly the same tactics. How do I know? Because Joe Biden said so, and not just once. The biden White House stretched — and outright broke — the limits of its powers, federal laws, and the Constitution on any number of occasions. To name just 3: it used workplace regulations to force healthy adult Americans to get mRNA vaccines. It undid basic property rights by preventing landlords from evicting delinquent tenants. And it unilaterally tried to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in student loans that borrowers owed taxpayers. In each case, the Supreme Court said it had overreached.

The court’s student loan forgiveness ruling particularly annoyed the Biden regime. Forgiving college debt makes very little sense as a policy. It gives bloated educational institutions even more excuses to pad their costs, while transferring wealth from people without degrees to people with them, even though degree-holders are already at a major societal advantage. But the left-wing/democrats love the idea, which is something close to a straight payoff to a core Democratic constituency — young and mostly female knowledge workers. So as soon as the Supreme Court struck down the forgiveness plan in June 2023, corrupt biden began to try to get around the ruling. And he wasn’t shy about saying so. In fact, by the standards of late-regime (aka fully demented) biden, he was remarkably articulate.

On May 29, 2024, lyin' biden said: “The idea that the Supreme Court told me I couldn't do it, I couldn't forgive student debt. I found out a way.” Later the same say, in a campaign speech, he said, “The Supreme Court blocked me from relieving student debt, but they didn't stop me.” They were denying the court’s clear intent. They were looking for legal loopholes to satisfy their base and do what they wanted. Just as Trump is doing now.

The difference is that the left-wing  media, which either ignored or cheered ol' biden’s rhetoric, has spent the last month huffing and puffing about how Trump is going to destroy ‘Merica and JD Vance and the Vancettes are going to break down your door next, DO YOU HEAR ME, PEOPLE? THIS IS A CRISIS! Think I’m kidding? The left-wing  ny times homepage has this headline: ‘This Is Worse’: Trump’s Judicial Defiance Veers Beyond the Autocrat Playbook

And yo thought the left-wing media had learned its lesson about hyperventilating from the 1st Trump Administration, but apparently the lesson it learned is that didn’t hyperventilate enough.

Let’s see Trump actually defy — not quasi-defy, like corrupt biden did, but actually defy — a Supreme Court decision. Then a freak-out will be justified. But for now, all he’s doing is playing to his base. Then again, that’s all the neo-liberal new york times is doing, too.
