As we close out 2025, some in the media are choosing to focus on Trump’s anger bait, but in my opinion this is poor strategy and an abuse of limited time as most of America has become desensitized or tuned out to the president.
In my opinion, it is more important to focus on what this government is doing and how it is being stopped.
One of the consistent stories from 2025 is about the Trump administration ignoring the law and then being struck down in court or forced to follow the law.
Before Trump took office again, there were fears that no guardrails would hold and that this presidency would trample on rights and democracy.
In some areas, especially on immigration, Trump has acted lawlessly and violated the rights of citizens and non-citizens alike, but in terms of what the Trump administration has tried to do with an overreach from executive power to the structure of government itself, it has largely hit a wall in the form of the courts.
The courts were the firewall against the completely runaway Trump administration. The courts have done what Republicans in Congress have refused to do by acting as a check on the executive branch.
It was fitting that, as the year drew closer to its end, the courts had another defeat in store for Trump.
