Trump’s Illegal Orders: Power Grabs and Fabricated Emergencies
President Trump’s executive actions, including attempts to rescind birthright citizenship and utilize the Alien Enemies Act for mass deportation, faced immediate legal challenges and were deemed unconstitutional by a federal judge. His declared “national emergencies,” such as those concerning border security and energy prices, were criticized as mischaracterizations of ongoing policy issues rather than genuine crises. Many of his executive orders, including those targeting DEI initiatives and social media regulation, raised significant legal and constitutional questions. Ultimately, many of his actions appear more symbolic, driven by personal grievances and inconsistent policy positions, rather than a cohesive governing plan.
