Megyn Kelly recently declared that the Democratic Party’s reliance on litigation in an attempt to stymie President Donald Trump will backfire spectacularly. With an impressive array of around 40 lawsuits aimed at obstructing Trump’s executive power, the Democrats seem to believe that they’ve discovered their very own constitutional roadblock. However, Kelly cast doubt on this legal strategy, suggesting that much of the drama is overblown and that many of these cases will ultimately end up favoring the former president.
The lawsuits have been characterized by Democrats as major victories as they secure temporary restraining orders. These orders temporarily prevent Trump from enacting policies until full court hearings are conducted. Kelly, however, noted that such maneuvers are akin to winning a game of Monopoly by landing on “Go” and then demanding a free parking rule. The Democrats seem to think they’ve thrown down a colossal obstacle, yet they may find themselves celebrating too soon.

With only a single instance of Trump being directed to resume payments to federal agencies—wherein the plaintiff then chastised him for not doing it quickly enough—Kelly posited that the Democrats’ legal wins do not represent the overwhelming victories they’ve been touted as. She emphasized that Trump’s legal team has been more than capable of addressing any misinterpretations laid out in court, clarifying the financial transactions in question, and effectively countering any claims made against him.
In an ironic twist, Kelly pointed out how Democrats and their media allies have declared Trump’s administration a “constitutional crisis” for allegedly disregarding certain court orders. Contrary to the fear-mongering narrative, Kelly asserted that Trump has never actually defied a ruling or given judges the proverbial middle finger. Instead, she argued the executive branch’s authority over federal spending remains intact, benefitting their case against several legal challenges currently overhead.
Kelly projected confidence, stating that nine out of ten lawsuits filed against Trump would likely be overturned, a scenario the opposition may wish to reconsider. The judge may flaunt power today, but tomorrow, the courts might come to realize just how much authority the executive holds over financial matters. It’s abundantly clear that while Democrats may crow over temporary setbacks, the long game is likely to land in Trump’s favor.
In a pointed observation, Kelly questioned the whereabouts of these litigious legions during the Biden administration, especially when it publicly flouted the Constitution itself. After the Supreme Court blocked Biden’s student loan forgiveness plans, he cavalierly announced that he’d circumvent the ruling via other means, as though conjuring up new powers with a mere tweet. This blatant disregard for court rulings contrasted sharply with Trump’s restrained responses to the legal challenges he faces, which are generally still at lower court levels.
With contentious policies like the end of birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants and federal expenditure freezes under fire, Trump appears unfazed. Kelly suggested he is fully aware of the legal challenges that loom and is strategically positioning his policies for Supreme Court review. The perception that Trump and his attorneys are naive is misplaced; they are well-prepared to push back against the tide, laying the groundwork for formidable legal battles ahead. In the eyes of Trump supporters, the real story may be that the courtroom drama is just another chapter in a much larger narrative that’s only just beginning.
