Trump Goes Full Dictator With Grim Warning About Courts (The New Republic)Donald Trump seems ready to escalate his assault on the judiciary, stating that nothing would stop his mass immigration efforts.
During a rally in Michigan Tuesday night marking his god-awful first 100 days in office, the president vowed to continue defying judges who ruled against him.
We cannot allow a handful of Communist, radical left judges to obstruct the enforcement of our laws and assume the duties that belong solely to the president of the United States, Trump said.
Judges are trying to take away the power given to the president to keep our country safe. Its not a good thing, but I hope for the sake of our country that the Supreme Court is gonna save this, because we have to do something. These people are just looking to destroy our country, Trump continued.

(778 posts)1. Translation: "I can do what I want, when I want, to whoever I want
and any judge who rules that anything I do is actually against the law is by definition a radical left communist enemy of the United States and the Constitution, BECAUSE I AM THE LAW!".
Golly, those don't sound like the words of a megalomaniacal fascist authoritarian dictator at ALL.
For the record, Judge Boasberg was put on the federal court by Dubya, and elevated to his current role under Obama, and this elevation was approved UNANIMOUSLY by the Senate. Like 98-0. Since then he has proceeded to rule IN TRUMPS FAVOR on NUMEROUS previous occasions.
