TACO

First everybody started calling him “TACO” (Trump Always Chickens Out), and then a three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of International Trade (one of whom was appointed by Trump himself) halted his dizzying tariffs. “An unlimited delegation of tariff authority would be unconstitutional”, the court ruled, noting that the U.S. Constitution only gives Congress the power to impose them.

You know. Laws and stuff.

In the month of May the administration has lost 96% of the time in federal court. Having said that, Trump has mostly ignored these rulings, what with the John Roberts get out of jail free card in his back pocket. But still. Each one chips away at his already damaged psyche. Each one drives him a little more crazy. Each one is a reminder that blowing up a 250+ year democracy while working part-time isn’t easy. Doable, sure. But he might have to golf less.

So yea, it has not been a good day for Cheetolini. MAGAs are spiraling. Dear Leader is raging. In a nicely timed touch, Harvard is holding its commencement ceremony today, so he’ll once again be reminded that neither he nor his youngest son could get into that prestigious institution, while Obama and his daughter were accepted. Elon Musk has pledged to leave government and tend to his un-sold cars and his exploding rockets, but not before taking a shot at Trump’s “big beautiful bill” on his way out the door, calling it a “massive spending bill” that increases the federal deficit and “undermines the work” of DOGE, his very own department of vandals.
