It has slowed them before. Make them have to keep rewriting it to survive challenges

Make them deal with the companies who don't trust the next admin won't just go the opposite way. Apple for instance is keeping TikTok delisted from the App Store despite trump trying to extend it

Make them have to deal with federal worker strikes

Make them have to deal with local & state officals who won't comply with invalid orders

There is a fight. Don't let them get away without one

Many of the orgs fighting them also aren't governmental like the ACLU, the EFF, and other groups. Plus even localities like cities are even filing lawsuits against his EOs

Biden had tons of his stuff blocked in courts and got all the blame for the courts blocking it. The public isn't really good at paying attention to why something happened only that it didn't

There is hardly no resistance, it just gets less press. Just in the courts alone:

Lawsuits against DOGE were filed exactly 1 minute into his admin

Federal workers and thier unions are suing his Schedule F plans

ACLU is suing his attempts to unconstitutionally remove birthright citizenship. (And more than 22 state attorny generals + DC + the city of sanfransico filed seperate lawsuit about it too plus other non profits and organizations)

Many of his executive order have been typo full and generally poorly written. Don't assume they'll all survive court challenge. Even if SCOTUS is insane, they don't always back trump's plans

There is also resistance from Governors to his plans

For instance, Governor Pritzker said he wouldn't follow any of Trump's unconstitutional orders against Birthright citizenship. They state previously did similar and passed protections in 2017 & 2021 & put limits on any local involvement with federal authorities to slow it all down

And so on

Reminder to get off Facebook and Instagram

This isn't the first time they've pulled stuff like this nor will it be the last

Also listen to the "ahaha" at the end of the clip

“No, he’s not going to be president, that I can tell you,” Trump said. “And I’m safe. You know why he can’t be? He wasn’t born in this country.”

As you know a true leader has to keep saying they're the real leader

It's probably a reference to when Trump called Tim Cook, Tim Apple by accident

To save some people a click

The Harris campaign has arranged to have a small plane fly over Tuscaloosa during the game with a banner declaring, “Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate.”

[...]

The Harris campaign will also air a national ad during one of the most highly anticipated games of college football where she calls on the former president to meet her on the debate stage one more time.

“Winners never back down from a challenge,” the ad’s narrator says. “Champions know it’s any time, any place. But losers, they whine and waffle and take their ball home.”

During the debate, he doubled down on his full page ad calling for the execution of the central park five. Despite everything since then that's come out strongly showing they were innocent

Ah yes the strategy of trying to court jewish Americans by *checks notes* being blatantly antisemitic. There's no real reason to mention he's Jewish here other than to be antisemitic and imply he's a "bad jew"

Don't worry, when reporters asked his campaign about a very easily provable fact on a live-broadcast and widely recorded event, they said this:

In an emailed response to an inquiry about the lisp from a Huffington Post reporter, the Trump campaign said, “Must be your s****y hearing. Get your ears checked.”

The interview, which was hosted on X Spaces and scheduled to begin at 8PM ET Monday night, crashed immediately and didn’t begin until 42 minutes later.

[...]

18 minutes after the conversation was supposed to begin, Musk claimed that X was the target of a “massive DDOS attack” that had made it impossible for the Space to proceed as planned.

The rest of X appears to be working normally, however, and a source at the company confirmed to The Verge that there wasn’t actually a denial-of-service attack. Another X staffer said there was a “99 percent” chance Elon was lying about an attack

Headline undersells how he did this during the 90's during the Don't Ask Don't Tell era. Was not nearly as socially or politically acceptable then as it is now in the US to do that

If you look at the reddit post it's citing, it's from r/shittysuperpowers. A subreddit where you come up with fake shitty super powers is now getting cited as truth by google
