It has become a daily theatrical performance in the American legal system, where a new cast of judges steps up to the bench to block the Trump Administration’s every move with a swift slap of a restraining order. It seems that for every executive action the President takes, there’s a judge ready to play the role of the federal superhero, swooping in to save us from the perils of conservative governance. With at least 46 rulings already doing their best to stall Trump’s initiatives, it looks like there’s no end to this legal drama in sight.
Recent events have seen judges halting a range of actions, from the strategic dismantling of bureaucratic waste at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to preventing the enforcement of common-sense immigration policies. The latest outrage came from U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang, a 2014 Obama appointee, who claimed that shutting down an agency known for funneling taxpayer dollars into questionable overseas projects was somehow unconstitutional. The decree mandated the reinstatement of USAID’s functions, which begs the question: Who exactly gets to decide what the country needs more—an elected president or a lifetime-appointed judge with a clear bias?
An Obama Judge has ordered President Trump, Elon Musk and DOGE to reinstate USAID.
The answer should be ABSOLUTELY NOT. If this Judge wants waste, fraud and abuse reinstated then he can enforce his order. Oh wait, he can’t.

As the judge ordered the restoration of all emails and access to agency computers for USAID employees, one can’t help but notice how far the legal system has tilted in favor of preserving bloated government operations. The very agency in question has been found funneling taxpayer money into ludicrous projects: $1.5 million for diversity programs in Serbia? A musical celebrating diversity in Ireland? These are not just wasteful expenditures; they reflect a disconcerting trend of taxpayer dollars being misused under the guise of progressivism while judges swoop in to protect these egregious financial practices.
The question arises—where were these vigilant judges when the Biden Administration was flying illegal immigrants across the country? The selective application of judicial oversight raises eyebrows, showing a clear double standard in how the courts operate based on who is in the White House. When Trump’s policies aim to protect American resources and prioritize citizens, the judiciary is suddenly filled with zeal to protect outdated establishments. Yet, all that energy seems missing when the left’s agenda is at play.
Despite the barrage of legal challenges, the Trump Administration stands firm, vowing to continue its pursuit of policies that resonate with the American people. It remains to be seen whether the President can navigate through these legal hurdles to realize the vision that got him elected. However, with judges seemingly positioning themselves as the arbiters of national policy, one wonders if the American voter truly holds the power, or if it resides in the black robes of a select few who have taken it upon themselves to second-guess the democratic process.
