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.

      I’ve been saying this for a long time and I will keep saying it: It doesn’t matter what people do, he’s going to find an excuse one way or another. There is no “keeping the peace” with him because he is hell-bent on destroying peace any way he can.

      Defense will never cut it, y’all need to start playing offense.

      The 1864 election took place during the Civil War. I grant you that he would try all sorts of bullshit, but again, this is where the citizens must do what the traitors in Congress will not.
