The administration of President Trump seems to be turning into a grand spectacle, with the court orders acting like meticulously choreographed plot twists, sometimes halting him, sometimes merely pausing. Yet, President Trump’s response to these ‘plot twists’ appears to suggest that he is merely taking a breather, rather than surrendering completely. This cannot help but evoke the thought of whether there is some ‘mastermind’ pulling strings behind the scenes. After all, a president openly questioning the authority of the judiciary is a rarity in history. And the courts, though wielding significant power, seem to be left somewhat at the mercy of this situation, because the real issue seems to lie not in the law, but in politics.
