“There is one, and probably only one, saving grace to this moment in U.S. history: Donald Trump is absolutely terrible at getting things done. Despite a Republican Party filled with sycophants and a Democratic Party that still can’t figure out how to resist him, despite a cowed media, business, and legal elite, despite the prodigious powers of the presidency, he still manages to stumble. Inattention to what the job entails has something to do with it, but really he just has a superior knack for failing. Remember this is a guy who managed to bankrupt a casino. Trump’s latest misadventure concerns his Liberation Day tariffs, which late on Wednesday were unanimously ruled illegal by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of International Trade that included a Trump nominee.” (05/29/25)
