Donald Trump's frequent outbursts stem from the numerous court rulings against his administration. Over 185 rulings have blocked or temporarily halted his actions, prompting White House officials to accuse judges of "judicial activism" and a "judicial coup." Trump himself has railed against "USA-hating judges," claiming their rulings are due to anti-Trump sentiment. The article cites several examples, including Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs, his invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants, and his attacks on law firms. Judges have consistently ruled against these actions, citing overreach and violations of the law. The author argues that Trump's actions are those of an authoritarian ruler, rejecting judicial review and undermining the separation of powers. Furthermore, Trump's rhetoric has led to a surge in threats against judges. The article concludes that the simplest solution is for Trump to cease his unlawful actions.
