Donald Trump’s Presidency shook the American left to its core.
But as tough as the first three weeks of the second Trump administration was for the left, the worst is yet to come.
And a CNN star told viewers some bad news they didn’t want to hear.
CNN legal analyst pours cold water on Trump as a dictator charge
Trump asserted his authority under Article II of the Constitution to implement his reforms.
In his first three weeks in office, Trump signed executive orders that slashed illegal border crossings and sent them plummeting 95 percent.
Trump also tasked Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with auditing the federal government to identify trillions of dollars in spending cuts.
Members of the Democrat Party and the media are shrieking about Trump seizing the mantle of a dictator with the moves.
CNN legal analyst Elie Honig pumped the brakes on that nonsense talk, telling viewers that Trump was just following the normal course of business for a President in signing executive orders and fighting legal challenges in court.
“Look, the strategy that Donald Trump has used here so far is he’s going to do what he wants first, and then he’s going to make plaintiffs,” Honig explained.
“He’s going to make state Attorneys General. He’s going to make private citizens go sue him in court if they want to stop him from doing what he wants, they have to make him. So that’s definitely been a strategy by the president. But that’s not unconstitutional,” Honig added.
But Trump is facing an extra-legal assault from left-wing judges who are trying to impose a judicial dictatorship in America.
A judge in Rhode Island claimed the authority to usurp control of the ability to order the administration to spend money.
A third judge considered an order forcing the White House to put public health websites back online.
These judges are attempting to impose a junta where unelected left-wing district court judges refuse to allow Trump to function as President and steal his authority for themselves to run the government.
It’s a lawless assault on the Constitution by a cadre of outlaw Justices pushing America to the brink of a Constitutional crisis.
But Honig ignored that reality to feed the CNN audience some comfort food about how if Trump defied an unconstitutional order, it would be Trump who created the crisis, and not the rogue judges openly shredding the concept of separation of powers and Presidential power.
“Where it crosses a line is if that happens, he goes into court and a court says, you’re not allowed to do this executive branch or I’m putting it on hold, I’m putting an injunction, and then if the president or the executive branch defies that, that’s where we get into real trouble here,” Honig added.
“So for sure, Donald Trump has taken a conscious legal strategy of, I’m going to do what I want, maybe I’ll lose in the courts. That’s fine. I mean, I think there’s problems in that, but that’s not unconstitutional,” Honig concluded.
