So as I read it, the Trump admin, once again, was super sloppy with the birthright citizenship executive order. To start, an EO has no staying power, and can this have been overturned in a subsequent administration. But in addition to that they rushed Trump v Barbara to the scotus. If you listen to The oral arguments for Trump, they did not have a strong arguments for changing existing case law. Dredd Scott, Wong kim ark, . Not sufficiently addressed at all. The entire argument appears to be “semantics”. Maybe they believed they could win based on the outcome of Trump vs. CASA (ie: a lower court cannot issue a universal injunction against an executive order)?
WOW, what a colossal fuck up THAT was. basically Trump not only lost, but cast concrete blocks around our ankles for fucking decades on this. If they wanted to win this case, then the lynchpin of this argument needed to be overturning The Kim Ark case, in the same way that they overturned Roe V Wade. But they didn’t. Gorsuch, who actually was in the dissent, even points out that Trumps argument is based on semantics citing “Roman law” (they literally cite emperor Justinian) holy shit dude.
What the fuck is this admin doing?” Tried our best” isn’t good enough. Get serious for fucks sake.
Appearing incompetent is a diversion from the reality that his administration has failed to achieve anything he campaigned on in 2016, 2020, and 2024, BY DESIGN.
The fact that many of his supporters still can't see this is beyond sad.
Losing through "incompetence" while enriching billionaires and doing the bidding of a tiny shithole country was never an accident.
Build a wall? Not even close to complete. The parts that were built (at least in Texas) still have missing "gates" every couple of miles, leaving 30' wide openings completely unmanned. Even worse, >90% of the Texas wall was never built in the first place, leaving hundreds of miles of border wide open.
Deport at record speed? Bullshit. There are more illegals here now than there were in 2016.
Repeal and Replace ACA/Obamacare? Laughable. Republicans held majority in the Senate and House in 2017-18, and now 2025-26, but can't pass jack shit.
"No new wars", "I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop wars.", "[Harris would] start World War Three and get millions of Muslims killed", 2012: "[Obama] will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate." Lol. Lmao, even.
Drill baby, drill and "energy independence"? Check the historic fuel prices from 2009-2016 vs 2017-2020 and 2025-2026. 09-16 Low/High avg: $2.14 / $3.16 17-20 + 25-26 Low/High avg: $2.17 / $4.55
Broker an end to Ukraine v Russia in a matter of days? Did he mean years?
Improve economic conditions and fair trade through tariffs? Inflation continued and increased prices even further as the tariffs were passed directly onto consumers, just as he was warned by everyone who opposed them.
At some point people are going to have to face the reality that none of this is incompetence. It was always by design.
