The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
Bench-bound zealots masquerading as guardians of the Constitution hijack policy, firing nationwide injunctions like partisan artillery to cripple an elected president. Their arrogance subverts democratic choice, smothers urgent reforms, and recasts referees as unelected kings. This judicial veto risks embalming governance with activist overreach.
Anti-Trump narrative
By suing every Maryland district judge, arresting a Wisconsin jurist in her chambers, and menacing the bench with impeachment threats, Trump wages an authoritarian war on the very referees of our democracy. His actions shout contempt for due process, twist executive power into a cudgel, and dare America to watch its constitutional safeguards crumble.
