Summary

Donald Trump’s chaotic first 45 days are showing signs of adjustment as he faces economic and political resistance.

After market tumbles and Supreme Court resistance to DOGE team actions, Trump publicly clipped Elon Musk’s wings during a Cabinet meeting where Marco Rubio confronted Musk over State Department staff cuts.

Trump delayed tariffs on Mexico and Canada to calm markets, suggesting a shift from "shock and awe.”

The Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling against freezing foreign aid represents another significant setback to Trump’s executive authority ambitions.

    Idk, to me it seems like the resistance is cracking.

    Courts are blocking his actions but he’s doing them anyways. DOGE took funds out of a private bank account. Trans women inmates were moved to a men’s prison. The ICE in full fucking military gear are roaming through the city streets like they own the place.

    If the pressure keeps increasing and the last vestiges of hope shatter, I only hope in the fallout those Republican Traitors get a shard stuck in their eye.

    The exchange ended with Mr. Trump telling Mr. Duffy that he had to hire people from M.I.T. as air traffic controllers. These air traffic controllers need to be “geniuses,” he said.

    His comedic genius knows no bounds…

      I don’t think we need geniuses, I think we just need enough people to do the job, which they don’t have.
