Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference.
The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
this is a great example of trying to rationalize a fundamentally irrational decision. youβll notice that at no point does cass ever articulate what the american public is supposed to get out of the deal here. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/o...
