The thing is, Trump and his administration have to actually obey the ruling for it to be more than words on a piece of paper.

Trump doesn't obey all rulings, period. Where's Abrego Garcia? Why hasn't ICE stopped harassing legal residents with no criminal record? The list goes on.

The Trump government obeys laws and court rulings with the same reliability that stalkers and sexual predators obey restraining orders: that is to say, only when they feel like it.

Look at the statistics for women who get restraining orders and have the person named on that order end up violating it. It's not a small percentage, and the reason is simple: in the real world, often very little actually backs up the restraining orders. They're just pieces of paper with writing on them if they aren't consistently and heavily enforced when violated - and they aren't.

Court orders, when delivered to a government that has demonstrated that it has the same respect for the rule of law as a criminal, because it's populated by criminals, are even less enforceable than restraining orders. At least with restraining orders, the cops are *supposed* to do something when they're violated. Often they don't, but they're supposed to. With a court order delivered to a government, *who enforces it*? Well, an arm of the...oh. Right. So if the government has no respect for the rule of law, if they won't obey the courts because, in effect, those are the rules they agreed to play by and they meant it, there are no cops to show up and arrest them. The only consequences they might have are being voted out of office - not Trump's problem, he can't run again - or impeached, which Trump is too narcissistic and demented to consider a valid risk.

So why should he obey a court order he doesn't feel like obeying? He's already gotten away with ignoring a bunch of court rulings, even Supreme Court rulings. Why, from his perspective, should this one be different?

All bullsh1te! Consumer confidence is up, no one is suffering the burden of simply matching tarrif amounts with trading partners. The economic burdens on people are the same ones that came about in the last few years created by "bidenomics". The "dinner table" cost of living and goods suffered now were accrued under the last administration and have not grown significantly since January.

Lies and fear mongering to whitewash what the last administration burdened its citizens with.

Letโ€™s go Taco!

Trump always seems to call people names or give them a demeaning nickname. He can dish it out but can he take it?

Letโ€™s find out. Keep referring to TACO.

You know the definition of bogus? Yes? It is an adjective for "not genuine or true; fake".

What about this article is bogus then?

And yes, most of what is posted on Substack atracking the T admin is preaching to the choir - with the big question, as you are addressing, how to get the word out to his voters and see the facts .

You are correct, it is totally bogus. Nothing more than fairytales to falsely empower the echo chamber. Nuthin' but a load of malarkey.
