Trump and team's underlying strategy for unconstitutionally, thus federally illegally, presidentially federalizing state of California National Guard troops and deploying them, in the absence of their deployment to enforce violation of a federal felony-related law by the state, along with expressly combat US Marine troops, whose officially designated use is for foreign combat, to the streets of the city of LA, CA,, in response to a local crime scene of a comparatively small and police-contained riot, which, were it not readily containable by the LA police force, could have easily been contained by reinforcements of state police, the county sheriff's department and neighboring city police forces, standard practices for riots in CA and elsewhere, as well as, immediately put on high alert, if necessary, deployment of state National Guard troops by the governor of the state of California,, is:
'Operation Making a Mountain Out of a Mole Hill'
[for political-grandstanding strongman, authoritarian presidential military might and power display and their publicity and promotion of his strongman political persona and, further, for his thereby winning (subduing and silencing the political counterpart opposition) by intimidation and replicating this field test, if it is not deterred henceforth by upholding and enforcing established federal law against it, by the GOP-majority US Congress or such Judiciary, [of] the president's constitutionally and federal statutory-law illegal discretionary use of the military on the local level as the standard, as the model, wherever chosen applicable].
Trump's modus operandi is to try to go as far as he wants or must, however legally and ethically wrong, at least fightback harm against him, to get his way, and, if he gets his wrongful way, for him to gloat and carry on, go forth, with it.
Trump will do everything that he can get away with, beforehand, to induce fear in and intimidate opposition votes to MAGA-GOP candidates in the November of 2026 midterm national elections so as not to lose his compliant MAGA-GOP majority memberships in the House of Representatives and Senate of the US Congress. He knows that with a majority membership of Democrats in either chamber or, for him, worse, both chambers of the US Congress that he will become a lame-duck president and might be impeached again as US president and possibly be removed as president in a presidential impeachment trial of him in the US Senate in which he is impeachment convicted. He is desperate and determined that none of this happens and will do everything he can meanwhile to avert it.
Another such extreme action underway in preliminary Congressional legislation originated and passed by the MAGA-GOP majority in the House of Representatives and sent to the Senate for its reconciliation and passage by the MAGA-GOP majority there, quite possibly or probably intended to impact the 2026 midterm national elections, is an unconstitutional Congressional statutory law stripping the Constitutional third co-equal and independent (separate) Judiciary branch of the federal government of its constitutional power to punitively sanction presidential violations of US constitutional and Congressional law and compel the president's compliance with them, wherein Congressional law is subordinate to supreme US Constitutional law and cannot violate the Constitution in order for it to be valid and existential, and the US president constitutionally has no law-making authority, as distinguished from federal law-enforcement authority, whatsoever (presidential executive orders are not laws but are federal executive policy directives and practices, which must be compliant with both US Constitutional and Congressional-statutory law in order for them to be legally valid -- they are applicable to federal executive branch agencies and personnel for their implementation and practice)

Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, Congressional Power to Declare War and Raise Armies - FindLaw
Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States enumerates Congress's powers. It grants the following powers to Congress regarding war:
"The Congress shall have Power . . .
[10] To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations
[11] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water
[12] To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years
[13] To provide and maintain a Navy
[14] To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces
[15] To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions
[16] "To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress."*
This article provision of the US Constitution is the spatiotemporal textual explanatory antecedent of and verb-predicate for and interrelates with the Second Amendment of the Constitution in which the well-relegated militias of the states, renamed the state national guards, are constituted, selectively staffed according to formal uniformed physical-and-mental-fitness selection criteria or standards, equipped, provisioned and overseen (held accountable) by the state legislatures and the militia (national-guard) applicable legislation of these and led by their state commanders in chief, the state governors, subject to the laws of the US Constitution and laws and regulation of its subordinate the US Congress. Like the federal armed forces, according to this article provision of the Constitution, stated again for emphasis, they are subject to the constitutionally legal senior legislative and control authority of the US Congress, and not straightforwardly that of the US president independently of the armed-forces-related and state-militia-related laws of the supreme US Constitution and the constitutionally subordinate to it legislated statutory laws of the US Congress. State militias can be federalized respectively by the US president under emergency criteria established in federal law, including during a US war (constitutionally, a war formally declared by the US Congress), to enforce federal law, being Constitutional law or Congressional statutory law, that is compliant with Constitutional law, that state officials violate and fail timely or refuse to comply with, or when a governor requests or agrees to temporary presidential control of a state militia, for an acute and temporary law-enforcement support purpose or mission. The president cannot constitutionally or federally legally discretionarily take command and control of state militias, neither permanently nor temporarily.*
Not only does Congress have the enumerated powers listed above, but it also relies upon several other powers with regard to war. These include the following:
Article I, Section 8, Clause 1: The taxing and spending powers
Article I, Section 8, Clause 18: The necessary and proper clause
The U.S. Constitution grants Congress many war-related powers. Throughout American history, Congress and the president have offered conflicting interpretations of these and other powers.
The following sections describe some of these conflicts and relevant U.S. Supreme Court cases interpreting them.
§1385. Use of Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force as posse comitatus
Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

Posse Comitatus Act, 1878
Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both. -Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1385 Modern Exceptions: Title 18 U.S. Code, Section 831, provides that if nuclear material is involved in an emergency, the Secretary of Defense may provide assistance to the Department of Justice, notwithstanding the Posse Comitatus Act. Title 10 U.S. Code, Chapter18, authorizes military support for civilian law enforcement agencies for counterdrug operations and in emergencies involving chemical or biological weapons of mass destruction. The Secretary of Defense may provide information, allow the use of military equipment and facilities, train law enforcement officials in the operation and maintenance of military equipment, and maintain such equipment. Support for law enforcement agencies may not impair military readiness, and military personnel shall not participate in searches, seizures, arrests, or similar activities unless such participation is otherwise authorized by law. (Military police personnel, for example, may enforce the law within their jurisdictions.)
*The reference to the "Air Force" in the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, is a retroactive, amended, one, as when a military air force was created by the US Congress in the early 20th Century, the early 1900s, it was part of the US Army and became a separate branch or core of the US armed forces later,

The USA Constitutional Purpose and Function of the Federal Courts and Justices (Judges) of the Courts, Constituting the Federal Judiciary of the United States of America
Raison d’ etre of the Judiciary, Constitutionally
The federal courts of our constitutional bill-of-rights republic (also a constitutional democratic-republic because of its universal, egalitarian citizenry bill of rights, democratic rights, explicitly written into and embedded in the US Constitution) serve and comprehensively -- in principle and by US Constitutional law with equal treatment for all under its law and without partisan or subjective bias in their hearings, decisions and rulings -- uphold the rule of law of the USA governance supreme US Constitution and thereof subordinate to it and compliant with it US Congressional statutory law. They do not serve and uphold the subordinate to both of these bodies of law, in governance of the USA, the regularly transitory, variable, capricious, partisan, self-centered and self-serving in susceptibility and bias-and-mob-prone "will of the majority," per se, or elected or unelected governance officials and representatives and all else.
The US President, the US Congress, US Congressional legislated statutory law, and the US Supreme Court and other of the federal US Judiciary is each and all are subordinate to the US Constitution, the supreme law and governance instrument and source of and over the entirety of the United States of America and Its territorial jurisdiction, Any and each of their illegalities, indicated illegalities or conflicts in decision, action, policy or otherwise with the US Constitution is subject to federal judicial review and adjudication by the courts and judges of the federal government, the US Judiciary, for their compliance with US constitutional law and a determination of its compliance with or violation of It by the courts and judges of the US Judiciary. If it violates, or they violate, the law of the US Constitution, then it is nor or they are not legally viable and is or are constitutionally illegal and barred from applicability and existence as well as may be subject to punishment, on the part of the violating party, by the federal judiciary, The US Constitution is not subordinate to the US President. It is not Subordinate to the US Congress and US Congressional legislated law. It is not subordinate to the US Judiciary or such system. It is Preeminent in the USA and Supreme over each and all of them and all other law and authority, whether government or private, in the USA, and the US courts and judges are the chief upholders and enforcers of it and its laws by decree in the US Constitution, with, in ideal and for the overwhelming most part in practice, no deference and bias in its application, judicial rulings and enforcement.to the US President, rule of the majority, mob or crowd, elected officials, military, celebrity, notoriety, big money, faith, and so on and so forth, ad infinitum.
The courts of the USA adjudicate and make rulings of violations of and adherence to foremost supreme US Constitutional law, secondarily penultimate US Congressional law (statutory law) and tertiarily state and local legislative law between legal disputant or transgressor parties involving or violating them. Their service, by supreme US constitutional law, and thus in principle, is to the US Constitution/al and thereof compliant US Congressional-legislated-statutory bodies of law of the USA, and not to the US president, US Congress per se, either’s agenda, the will of the voter majority nor any other constituency, person, group of any kind or entity or entities in the USA or elsewhere -- though in rare instances, with lapses or breaches in integrity on the part of members, not always in practice. Via court orders and sanctions, civil and criminal, including verdicts and sentencing, the judges of the courts also administratively enforce compliance with the laws and punish their violation for violators and offenders. They, by US Constitutional law, [are to] adjudicate, uphold and enforce established law, foremost, supreme US Constitutional law.
The place of majoritarianism in our USA constitutional bill of rights republic form and system of government is in free and fair universal, egalitarian, legal-age-of-right-to-vote, as the only qualification, voting of USA citizens, respectively, in political public elections of candidates for elective government office and for publicly political referenda by paper or computer/digital ballots, and presidential elections Electoral College, court trial juries, court judge-panels (including the position briefs of judges on judge panels), and legislatures optionally [by count] of voice, hand or paper balloting by legislator members.
Supreme constitutional law and penultimate legislative statutory law in our USA constitutional bill of rights republic form of government rule our nation, thereby making it in framework (nature) and practice a constitutional democratic-republic, and not the shifting or changeable, across constitutional and statutory law prescribed election cycles, the majoritarian will. Voting and balloting for candidates to hold elective public, or government, offices, as government representatives, decision makers and leaders, and as and where legally applicable, for referendum and legislative laws and verdicts by juries, are the venue in which the will of the majority is exercised and leads or prevails therein but is subordinate to and limited by and must be compliant with supreme constitutional law and penultimate legislative statutory law, this latter of which must itself be compliant with supreme constitutional law, nor can it, nor the US Congress, nor the US president, nor the federal judiciary at any level or in concert, suspend or abolish the US Constitution or the rights of its universal and citizenry bill or rights nor any one of them accorded all citizens and every individual citizen, as well as certain institutions, namely press-publisher and religious and freedom-from-religion and secular ones, except for temporarily the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, which can be suspended by a majority vote of the US Congress, the legislative and statutory-law-making, branch of the federal government, during extraordinary and dire circumstances that are a clear, present and overwhelming existential danger to the USA as a nation. Majoritarian and plurality election voting outcomes do not supersede or overrule the bodies of law of the governance supreme US Constitution and the subordinate to and compliant with it US Congress of our nation the United States of America but are subordinate to both of these bodies of priority national governance law and are valid when they are in compliance with both.
The US president is not granted legislative and law-making authority by the US Constitution. Rather, the US Constitution specifically confers all legislative and law-making authority, for federal laws not stated in the US Constitution and that must be compliant with all the US Constitution’s laws, to the bicameral US Congress. However, the US president is assigned the authority and duty by the US Constitution to sign, in order to legally and officially enact, or refuse to sign, and thereby veto, every, thus all, US Congressionally legislated bill of statutory law, whose [presidential] veto of which, of any Congressionally submitted legislation for US presidential approval, the bicameral US Congress can nevertheless override by a two-thirds majority vote in each the House of Representatives and Senate of the bicameral US Congress and directly enact it into legally valid and official federal law.
Following an election and its vote-decided outcome, the victors, at any level of government, cannot [legally] void, suspend or diminish the legal rights, or their equality, under federal, state and local government laws, of their opponents, critics or detractors or those different from them, such as politically, ideologically or demographically. Nor do the victors personally own their elective government offices and titles, nor the government jurisdictions and property they control and direct, lead or command, as elected incumbent-tenant government leaders, officials or representatives, all of which permanently belong to the system-wide government of, by and for the people, the citizenry, with non-prejudicial, according the commonly and consistently applied same lawful and ethical criteria and rules, access by all. They cannot legally use their election victory and incumbency in power to thwart, disrupt, subvert or pervert the presiding law so as to overturn an election or elections or rig or prevent the next cycle or round of elections and in so doing entrench themselves as a power squatter or despot in otherwise elective government office permanently, on an individual, group or partisanship scale and level. With every election the said presiding bodies of law, branches and systems of government and governance and the legal and civil rights of the citizenry and residents of the nation, state, municipality or locality remain permanently and fully intact under our US Constitutional Bill-of-Rights Republic, or Democratic-Republic.
The Federal Courts of Our Constitutional Bill-of-Rights Republic (also a Constitutional Democratic-Republic because of its universal, egalitarian citizenry bill of rights, democratic rights, explicitly written into and embedded in it) Serve and Comprehensively, in Principle and by US Constitutional Law with Equal Treatment for All Under the Law and Without Partisan or Subjective Bias, Uphold the Rule of Law of the USA Governance Supreme US Constitution and Thereof Subordinate and Compliant US Congressional Statutory Law and Not the Subordinate to Both in Governance of the USA the Transitory, Variable, Capricious, Partisan, Self-Centered-and-Serving and Bias and Mob-Prone Will of the Majority, Governance Officials and Representatives and All Else
because of its universal, egalitarian citizenry bill of rights, or democratic rights, some of them designated as explicitly as "unalienable" as well as in its language that Congress, the federal legislature-legislator and law-maker, "shall pass no law...," in effect, abolishing, abridging or suspending, etc.(which means unalienable even by the amendment process of the USA Constitution granted in and allowed by the USA Constitution), explicitly written into and embedded in the USA Constitution
Emoluments and Gifts Prohibition, and Exceptions to It, Article [Law] of the US Constitution:

"No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."
They are prohibited, except for a majority vote by the US Congress of approval for their acceptance on a case-by-case basis, because they are, can become or tend to be gratuities to ingratiate, influence and compromise and tether or psychologically control our leaders in the service or furtherance of the interests, potentially at the expense of or in priority over the US domestic or national interest, or some part of it, of a foreign power or powers.
MAGA-GOP Members of the US Congressional House of Representatives Publicly Are Threatening Federal District Court Abolishment and Impeachment of Federal Judges with Judicial Rulings on Matters of US Constitutional and Standing Federal Congressional Statutory Law that Go Against President Donald Trump's Will and Administrative or Political Agenda -- Chapter 2 of the 01-06-2021 GOP Congressional Membership to Internally, via Illegal Legislative Procedure, within the Legislative Branch of the Federal Government, Attempt to Subvert and Overthrow the USA Constitutional Democratic Bill of Rights Republic and Replace it with a Trump Cult-MAGA Oligarchy or Dictatorship
(Mouse click on the hyperlink at the end of the following narrative to view the news report video.)
The US House of Representatives GOP membership, which has a slight membership majority in the House of Representatives, has members, including the speaker of the House, Congressman Michael Johnson, of Louisiana, who now want to use the funding allocation authority of the bicameral US Congress to intimidate the federal judges of the US judiciary to make biased as opposed to fair and honest judicial rulings on matters of the legality of acts in reference to federal law and their compliance or noncompliance and violation or adherence to US Constitutional law and bicameral US Congressional legislated statutory law, the highest bodies of law in the USA with US Constitutional law supreme and bicameral US Congressional statutory law the penultimate body of law and subordinate only to the US Constitution. They openly declare they want to use the funding, legislative and impeachment powers of the bicameral US Congress to influence the judges of the federal judiciary to render judicial rulings involving federal court hearings involving the US president that are in favor of the US president and that support his will as US president and his presidential, that is, political agenda, regardless of what is the stated US Constitutional and existing US Congressional law [not in conflict with supreme US Constitutional law]. As a practical matter rather than a legally technical one, they would not be able to remove a federal judge by impeachment because it takes, successively, both chambers of the US Congress to impeach, with a conviction by impeachment trial finally in the US Senate, and remove a federal judge for performing his or her duties without proving in the US Senate impeach hearing trial actual judicial corruption (such as involving illicit money or financial value or otherwise trading of judicial rulings, rendering them as personal favors, treason, criminal sex and other crimes of established government criminal or ethics codes), a conviction that would require a majority vote of 67 US senators for it of the 100 senators of the US Senate, in which there are 53 Republican senators and 46 Democratic Party senators and 1 independent-socialist senator of the US Senate, of which none of the Democratic Party senators nor the 1 independent-socialist senator would vote for conviction but who would vote against conviction of any federal judge. Congressional legislation initiated in the US House of Representatives to defund or abolish particular or all federal district courts in the highest probability would fail legislative passage in the US Senate, if not in the US House of Representatives first, as any such defunding or abolishment would result in the unleashing of a torrential downpour and deluge of federal criminal and civil illegality, including against commerce and federal institutions, personnel, currency and property with virtual impunity, indefinity. It also may be federally criminally culpable, as well as even a civilly illegally culpable, congressional legislation whose, and when its, objective, in violation of the US Constitution's separation of powers of the 3 co-equal legislative, executive and judicial branches of the federal government, is to control and prejudice, and thereby corrupt, the judicial independence and decisions on matters of law of the judges of the federal judiciary by politically motivated and biased legislative as well as impeachment proceedings against federal judges judicially independent of them and their political partisanship.
Remember, care and cherish that our form of government is [that of] a US Constitutional Bill of Rights Republic, including of the three separate-powers co-equal branch of the federal government, regardless of who the changeable and changing US president is, who likewise makes up the membership of the houses of the bicameral US Congress, who likewise are the judges, or justices, of the federal judiciary and what likewise the will of the shifting majority or plurality of the electorate is. Its supreme law and our US Constitutional egalitarian legal rights as persons and individuals and the US Constitutionally fundamental governmental branches and institutions within them stand unbridgeably and irrevocably by them, nevertheless.

Short-Trader and Vulture-Capitalist Bottom-Feeder Yo-Yo, Upswing-and-Downswing, Playing [of] the Stock Market and Economy via Seeming Capriciously Shifting, Shifty Presidential Tariff Policy Announcements
It definitively appears that Trump and his flock of insatiably gluttonous vulture capitalist billionaires, and mega-millionaires too, are short-trader and recession-bottom-feeder yo-yo playing [of] the stock market and economy to their selfish predatory benefit. By Trump reportedly commenting to this effect on his social media platform Truth/er Social and that these yo-yo [stock-market and economy] downswings are buy-low and sell-high and bargain asset purchase [investment] opportunities, which they are, that can supercharge and skyrocket your wealth, he is also attracting and enlarging membership respectively to and on his online Truth Social social media platform of those traders, investors and financial speculators as well as asset defenders, market observers/watchers, financial analysts and economics scholars, etc., who want heads-up tips or hints, directly from POTUS Trump, on indicated coming downswings and upswings, resultant from his publicly considered or stated economic policies, in the stock market and economy or for even foreign economies and corresponding changes in major companies' market valuations and stock values. He thereby also boosts the notoriety and popularity, positively for a considerable some and negatively for considerably others, of his online Truth/er Social social media platform.
What POTUS Trump's Tariffs Really Do in His MAGA, America-First Land and to the Large Majority of the People of the USA
04-03-2025 -- Reiterating more expansively
What the Trump right hand takes away in taxes, with 83% of this federal tax cut benefitting the billionaires and mega-millionaires, his sweeping-and-high-tariffs magician left hand more than offsets and raises in retail consumer-purchase taxes, the equivalent of a disguised federal sales tax, under the label of tariffs, that is in addition to state and local government sales taxes, predominately paid by the middle- and low-income classes and substantially and meaningfully reducing their purchasing and overall financial power.
Such tariffs on imported foreign goods and input products used in the manufacture or production of domestic goods relax the competitive pressure on domestic producers and wholesalers to produce and supply the retail and mass household consumer marketplace with goods at best competitive prices and tempt and incentivize them to uncompetitively raise prices per se, which import goods retailers and inputs user domestic producers in part must do nevertheless to preserve their profit margins or profitability and solvency. They also incentivize the revving up or emergence of black-market underground economies to sell, or selling, at much lower prices smuggled, heisted and counterfeit goods, including, but more than, electronics, appliances, auto parts, jewelry, apparel, dried and canned foods, alcoholic beverages and tobacco smoking items, at much lower and affordable prices, which are consequently tariff and entirely tax evasive and free.
Extensive and high tariffs like those of POTUS Trump imposed on so many nations will promptly provoke compensatorily retaliatory, reciprocal tariffs on USA export businesses and good from the central government authorities that have taxing power and the control of the affairs in international commerce of those nations targeted and hit by the questionably legal tariffs of 1930s-and-1940s-fascist-era ideological minded MAGA US President Trump. They will do this for the purpose of supporting and protecting the international-trade economic interests of their national business community, which result in a loss of market welcome, competitiveness, share and profitability of US business and goods in those nations.
Potentially, these tariffs levied on foreign imports into the USA are not legal because the US Constitution, which is the supreme law of the USA, confer all fiscal, including tariff-levying and commerce regulation, authority of the USA to the US Congress and although the US Congress has delegated some of its tariff levying, etc., authority to the US President by statutory-law legislated Acts of Congress, its such legislation very well might not be US Constitutional and thus Constitutionally illegal, as may be its delegation to the US President its, in part, US Constitutionally conferred war powers authority.
Tariffs levied on imports to the USA by the US President and presidential executive order may in earnest be US Constitutionally illegal because the US Congress and the laws legislated by the US Congress respectively are subordinate to the US Constitution and laws of the US Constitution, and the US Congress cannot on its own, through only its own legislation, change the US Constitution and its laws, which is to say as regards these issues that the Congress, as a matter of US Constitutional law, cannot legally overrule or bypass the US Constitution in any way, or nullify, abandon, alienate or share the powers, in whole or the least part, conferred to it by the US Constitution, except to only US Constitutionally properly modify, as US Constitutionally prescribed, the US Constitution and its laws, limited to those that are not the unalienable rights that it irrevocably decrees, by the legislative passage of initiatives to amend the US Constitution, being amendments to the US Constitution, by successively two-thirds of each the House of Representatives and Senate of the US Congress and three-fourths of the state legislatures.

Theme song, 'Get Up, Stand Up, Stand Up for Your Rights' by Bob Marley, Fit for Opposing the Trump Presidential Administration in Its Attempts to Exercise Dictatorial Rule in the USA
This is a theme song, 'Get Up, Stand Up, Stand Up for Your Rights' by Bob Marley, suited for opposing the Trump Presidential Administration in its attempts to exercise dictatorial rule in the USA, that is, amass and concentrate authorities of the Congressional and Judicial branches of the federal government in the US President, as well as for opposing, in this pursuit of his, the President and his Administration in their undertaking to discredit, harass, intimidate and endanger by various means the federal Constitutionally loyal members of Congress (like them or their MAGA zealots and enforcers saying to their GOP members there that if you dissent or act independently our billionaire and mega-millionaire donor-supporters will primary you out of office with their money, with one such towering billionaire saying that he personally will do that) and justices of the Judiciary (like them, the MAGA cultists, chorally lying and saying in news and political media campaigns, to reach mass public audiences and to outrage their constituents in them, that judges have no judicial review authority over presidential acts or executive orders, which indeed are not laws but are policy directives within the executive branch that must be compliant with Constitutional and Congressional statutory law in order for them to be legally valid and operative, and which are subject to judicial review and adjudication, and their public threats of and calls for impeachment of judges whose law-adhering and enforcing judicial rulings are objectionable to the President or MAGA-GOP). The President and his Administration say and do these bullying-tactics things to the other branches of the federal government so as to gain and exercise their hoped-for social and political leverage over them with which to coerce, subordinate, overrule or disempower them (the Congressional and Judiciary branches the federal government) of their Constitutional rights and authorities and for them to tacitly cede their authorities to the kingly President or be his political puppets and make laws and judicial rulings palatable to him. Though the President and his Administration try, yet for the most part the judges in the federal judiciary in their rulings do not allow the President and his Administration, to successfully, in outcomes, ignore, bypass and subvert and violate in rhetoric, be it sophistry, obfuscation, chicanery or explicit, and conduct whatever of the body of laws of the Constitution, including the subordinate to it and them laws of Congress, and the Constitutional Democratic Bill of Rights form of government of the, our, United States of America, underscoring its separation of powers laws pertaining to the three co-equal, checks-and-balances congressional, judicial and executive branches of the federal government and their duties and authorities conferred upon them by the US Constitution as specified in the US Constitution, that are disagreeable to the President and his Administration.
Any official or employee of the federal government who affirmatively refuses to. or says in any way that he will not, honor and comply with the laws of the US Constitution, statutory laws of the US Congress compliant with the US Constitution and judicial rulings by judges of the federal courts applicable to and in adjudication of these laws, must immediately resign from his such job or be terminated from employment in it and be barred from any employment with the federal government permanently for having treasonously violated, betrayed, their, his or her sworn oath of allegiance to the US Constitution for their, his or her employment as a federal official or employee, whose oath is "to protect and defend the Constitution of the Constitution of the United States of America from all enemies, foreign and domestic." Even the US President must swear to this oath to be vested in holding his office as President of the United States of America.

POTUS Trump will go as far as he can in establishing for himself total dictatorial rulership of the USA, or of the federal government at a minimum, if, for the latter, state governors, legislatures, attorneys generals and national guards don't yield to his US Constitutionally illegal sweep and consolidation of Congressional, judicial and executive branch federal powers in himself as US President, ultimately achievable with his self-serving misuse of the intimidated by him and submissive to him [personnel of the] US armed forces and federal executive branch law enforcement and intelligence services, compliant to him in their dependence on their federal jobs and incomes for their own and their families' financial life support, savings, home, automobile and other household assets, and investments and retirements, subject to risk of loss or other jeopardy by him and his political-appointee, by him, MAGA-neo-fascist, pro-oligarchy federal executive-branch cabinet secretaries and agency heads. They, as careerist civil servants (military personnel included) are financially-economically held hostage by him and in their job-related actions are thereby under his control and that of his political-appointee department and agency heads who have control over their job security and up or down or flat-line career trajectories. They are further tormented by the significantly illegal DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency, a unilaterally presidentially created federal department without the legislative consent and action of the US Congress) deconstruction, mass firings and privacy-records intrusions or trespasses on the financial and more records of the US population in the trust of government agencies are or should be worried by the prospect that such ruthlessness could strike them -- by the way, the GAO agency (the Government Accountability Office), the equivalent of an office of federal operations audit, of the US Congress already routinely conducts thoroughgoing audits and efficiency reviews of all federal government operations and for finding and rooting out waste, fraud and abuse in them with written reports on them and recommendations, as applicable, for amelioration of identified inefficiencies, or deficiencies, and/or the elimination of identified waste, fraud and abuse and their causes or sources to the US Congress and department and agency heads, which makes Trump's possibly illegal DODGE suspect and possibly a front for previously US Congressionally rejected project Total Information Management (presumably, all contact, financial, household, family, relationships, employment and business, school, library-use, book purchase, residential, medical and hospitalization, legal and justice system, organizational and social affiliation and activism background and history and demographic-profile information) on all individuals of the US population, which it deemed was subject to political, if not also big-business private-enterprise, rogue abuse and misuse against the US public or population.
Technically, he can be stopped via impeachment by the US Congress for some of his already committed serious violations of the US Constitution but both of the two chambers of the US Congress, the House of Representatives and Senate, with pusillanimous Republican majority membership sycophants, show themselves in the majority to be intimidated by and passive and acquiescent to his transgressions, no matter what and the magnitude of the illegality and his continuing number of such illegalities. So, there strongly is not the needed momentum in the House of Representatives of the US Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings against Commissar Krasnov POTUS-Pompous DJ Trump at this time, nor is there a 67-count senatorial vote available of the 100 senators, of which there are 53 Republican senators, in the Senate of the US Congress to convict him of an impeachable offense and evict him from office as US president. Even if a minority of 34 senators voted against an impeachment conviction of him, he could not be decidedly impeached and removed from office as US president.
The USA Truly Is Now at Its Breaking Point & the Point of Imperilment of Its Federal Constitutional Bill of Rights Republic Form of Government Transitioning & Descending into a Rogue Presidential Dictatorship (Mouse click on the following hyperlink to be factually informed as to why: https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-deports-hundreds-venezuelans-despite-140611527.html? )
As of this action by POTUS Donald Trump, Trump has crossed the Rubicon and the United State of America is in a literal and formal state of US Constitutional crisis and breach of the US Constitution's demarcated separation of powers of the three branches of government, the congressional-legislative, the executive/administrative-presidential and the judicial-law adjudicating, applying and refereeing, with the executive-presidential branch blatantly defying and transgressing the US Constitutional authority of the federal judiciary -- there is more, applicably as regards the deconstruction and redirection of the US Constitutional and Congressionally legislated statutory-law agencies, property, public programs, budgets and staffing regulations of the federal civil service. The MAGA insurrectionist event of January 6th of 2021, and the preparatory events of the weeks leading up to it, tell/s that he will go as far as he is allowed to go by the inaction and passivity of the US Congress, federal law enforcement and the armed forces in amassing and concentrating all federal government power in himself and for himself. The USA is teetering at the edge of the precipice. He goes as far as he can go. The state governors and legislatures are the last government line of defense against a consolidated presidential dictatorship in the USA. Be prepared to be patriots and heroes.
The US Treasury money is the taxpayers' money and for the common good of the United States of America and the benefit and benefits of the population of the USA -- and not for a cryptocurrency bitcoin, etc., reserve -- and its appropriation and allocation are the US Constitutional responsibility and decision-making authority of the US Congress, and the Constitutional and Congressionally statutory institutional entities of the federal government, being civil service departments and agencies administered by the executive-presidential branch of the USA, can only be, as applicable, abolished or reconstituted by the US Congress.
The US Treasury, its money and the taxpayer money in general of the USA does not belong to the US president. US Constitutionally, it is not for his or her discretionary, independent use but is entrusted for appropriation, allocation and disbursement control, and regulation and oversight, with the US Congress. The US Congress, to whom the US president and executive branch of the federal government must seek funding as well as go for it to legislatively create a new department or agency of the executive branch of the federal government, levies taxes and allocates and regulates federal budgets and expenditures as well as conducts fiscal, efficiency and integrity audits of federal government operations via its audit agency the fearsome GAO, the [US] Government Accountability Office, the conceptual equivalent of an office of federal audit ferreting out waste, fraud and abuse, which makes redundant and [politically] purposefully questionable the indicatively unlawful Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency.
There is an obscure federal law that was enacted by the US Congress during the Bill Clinton Presidency, or during the presidency prior to or subsequent to it, allowing an officer or responsible employee of the executive branch of the federal government to be sued for violating any federal legal right of a citizen, or maybe even any member of the US population, in the course of performing his or her official duties, applicable to each participating and offending such person in the chain of action or command. I conjecture that they can also be personally sued for financial repercussions by the courts therein and thereupon for violating court orders and engaging in egregious or specious official contempt of court.
The White House spokeswoman stated publicly in effect, following violation of the court order, that the executive branch's disregard of the federal district judge's court order was not defiance, thus contempt of court, because the sole judge did not have the authority to make a court ruling or decision on the judicial issue before his court, a judicial decision-making opinion that US Constitutionally only a federal court of law can make, and not the US president, any officer or member of the executive branch or the US Congress. This stance by the Trump Presidential Administration, if not legally confronted and jettisoned for the rubbish that is, would become the rationale and mantra of POTUS Trump or his Presidential Administration for defying any and all federal court rulings that POTUS Trump or his Presidential Administration might object to and not like.

Trumpian-MAGA US Presidency Throwing Ukraine to the Wolves and Sharing in the Feeding Frenzy
The policy act by the Trump-Vance US Presidency to pause the flow of US armaments to Ukraine is its pressure tactic to stress the Ukrainian government by grief, in its armed forces and civilian society suffering worsened and intolerable casualties and destruction, into surrendering Ukrainian territory taken and occupied by Russian troops to Russia and to sign an agreement of co-ownership of its minerals with MAGA Trump-USA, as Ukraine's concessions to negotiate and conclude an armistice and peace agreement with the Putin regime of Russia, despite its concessions being grossly unfair, wrongful and dishonorable toward and dishonoring of Ukraine, the victim nation of the war perpetrated by invader-transgressor Putin-led Russia. Trump wants the political glory and adulation for having brokered a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia and of having extorted, extracted, clinched a deal of co-ownership of Ukraine’s minerals, in the pretense of it being in behalf of the USA, whereas it will really be to the benefit of US big-business mining and raw-materials processing and products-production companies whose economic interests he apparently really is serving.
In short, it is meant to overwhelmingly advantage the Russian military assault on Ukraine and as much disadvantage Ukraine's military defense against Russia's military aggression against Ukraine, for the purpose of forcing Ukrainian concessionary peace negotiations with Putin-led Russia and a deal for US big-business mining and raw-material resources companies access to Ukrainian minerals and fossil fuels and their lands, which by that deal are to be co-owned by the USA, really to the benefit of these companies. This predicament for Ukraine is a two-pronged, double-whammy victimization of Ukraine, with the Trump-MAGA US Presidency faulting the victim of war for not conceding territory seized and occupied by the armed forces of its invader-transgressor neighboring nation to the government of that transgressor nation Russia on the one hand and the minerals-deal-agreement demanding, of Ukraine, vulture-capitalism exploiter Trump-MAGA US Presidency on the other hand.
Presidential Executive Orders Are Not Law
What Trump Says He Wants and What It Means from a Political, Military, Historical and Psychiatric Frame of Reference:
US Economic Downturn and Vulture Capitalism Prime Time in the Works
Attention Federal Civil Service Personnel and Undocumented Immigrants
Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine -- Assaulted, Battered and Robbed, Then Extorted for Help and Rescue Assistance
It is wrong for POTUS Trump to request or demand from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the nation of Ukraine US ownership in its land of any kind or measure as compensation for past military assistance and therefrom still flowing assistance, granted to it, along with other European nations as a matter of principle and mutual security interest, in the past without prior notice then of such a predatory conditionality and under the preceding Biden US Presidency, an unprecedented and unscrupulous, vulture capitalism, predatory and corrupt request, not made by the assisting European nations. Implicitly Trump's co-ownership demand, as US President, is really for the financial benefit of US private-enterprise, big business raw-materials extraction and mining, processing, and production and products-making and seller companies, and their premium stockholders, and not for the US government, the US treasury and overall population of the USA. OBLIGATORY COMPENSATION (INCLUSIVE OF WAR REPARATIONS TO THE VICTIM NATION) SHOULD BE PAID TO THE VICTIM NATION AND ITS MILITARY AID NATION OR NATIONS BY ONLY THE WAR-INITIATING TRANSGRESSOR-AGGRESSOR NATION.
Moreover, any such imperial quid pro quo-preconditioned assistance demanded by a militarily assisting nation or set of them from an innocent victim nation of military attack and invasion by another nation for assisting that victim nation's combat against and defeat or removal of and armistice with the aggressor nation is unprecedented, wrong and corrupt. It is extortion for help and assistance for rescue.
US Vice President JD Vance Proves, with His Abysmal Legal Illogic Disputing the Authority of the Federal Judiciary to Make Rulings as to the Federal Unconstitutionality of the Distinctly Such Unconstitutional Acts of US President Donald Trump, that His Law Degree from Yale University Law School Is Thick-Shit Soiled Toilet Paper. To read the relevant chicanery he said, click on the following hyperlink: https://www.yahoo.com/news/words-mad-king-jd-vance-164447227.html
It makes sense that such anti-woke, anti-DEI but legacy-white-privilege GOP-MAGA graduates from Yale University law school and Harvard University law school as JD Vance for the former and Ron DeSantis for the latter (who in federal court failingly attempted in Florida, as governor of the state of Florida, to command a certain social media platform to host on its private-enterprise mass-user publication platform persons and content it as a private-enterprise social media publication platform objected to as subversive and demagogic, in violation of that social media platform's own US Constitutional right of freedom of the press and its related, own US Constitutional right of freedom of speech), whose words and actions in pursuing and holding public political office are woefully failing in evidencing on their part in the arena of real political life in the USA competent knowledge of and compliance with our USA Bill of Rights Constitution and USA Constitutional Democratic Bill of Rights Republic form of government, knowledge and understanding taught in and as basic civics and citizenship education throughout the USA, but apparently with exceptions in some jurisdictions. Apropos, the USA Constitution, the supreme body of law and charter of the USA government, yet applicable to the state and municipal levels of government, establishes and prescribes three separate but peer branches of the USA federal government, being the executive, legislative and judicial, each with its own set of authorities, duties and responsibilities. The primary role and mandate of the USA federal judiciary is to factually and impartially interpret and adjudicate USA Constitutional and USA Congressionally-legislated and -enacted statutory law, as well as to resolve conflicts between them in favor of supreme US Constitutional law, and to render decisions (judicial rulings) of violations and compliance with them with regard to persons and entities, with no exemptions, and render court orders to compel compliance and to impose punitive and compensatory sanctions for their violations and the harms caused by their violations. In this way, so to say, the judiciary is the umpire and referee, but more, system in calling the strikes, balls, fouls, safe and out base runs, etc., as in sports, in matters of law and lawfulness for and between parties of law-related conflicts, disputes or transgressions in USA society.
Even for the generals, to whom Vance makes reference as an analogy, and all soldiers in the USA armed forces, who are indeed all subject to the US Uniform Code of Military Justice, and by international law of war, the Geneva Conventions, on which all US armed forces members undergo classroom as well as film education, they must execute their duties on and off of the combat arenas within the boundaries of sane warfare and conduct that is not debauchery, corrupt, depraved or heinous. Those in violation of these military bodies of law and rules of conduct are subject to relief or loss of command, court martial, suspension of service and/or rank and pay, demotion, incarceration, dishonorable discharge and more. USA military courts and their judge advocate system exercise control over the military conduct of the armed forces officer corps and enlisted soldiers or personnel from top to bottom and bottom to top. We swear allegiance to the US Constitution first and foremost and to protect and defend it from all enemies, high and low, foreign and domestic, from within and without, and retain the right and duty to disobey an unlawful order.
The titles and jobs of US president, US vice president, US congressional representative, US senator, US justices of the federal courts and the branches and duties, responsibilities and powers of the three branches of the US government are the creations and prescriptions of the USA Constitution. When anyone in such a position defies particularly US Constitutional law factually cited by the federal judiciary, that party is rejecting the legal legitimacy of and negating, and therein abdicating, his or her own public office and such title and rights and entitlement to its pay and other compensation. Our form of government is an egalitarian USA Constitutional Democratic Bill of Rights Republic, in which the US Constitution and its laws are preeminent and supersedent and rule the, rule our, nation, and it and the Bill of Rights it accords all citizens equally are unalienable and irrevocable in any part regardless of a vote to the contrary by a majority of the from election-to-election, ever-changing electorate or the such houses of the US Congress and the US president. In our constitutional form of government a voting majority of voters and its/their elected and subject unelected representatives and civil servants cannot diminish, restrict or abolish for minorities or individuals their held-in-common same constitutional and statutory law rights, which differentiates constitutional democracy from tyrannical and capricious majoritarian mobocracy.
