138 days left until the election (#4156)

     Several more hits to the flailing trump strategy to make himself appear to be of value. This morning the unemployment numbers came in over 1.5 million more workers filed for unemployment this week. Making it 13 weeks in a row that over 1 million workers filed for unemployment. That trump can continue to claim to be a great business man is getting more unbelievable by the moment. With states already being short on funds for their unemployed it is also becoming quite clear that if republicans keep denying another round of stimulus payments our whole economy may well lead to more civil unrest.
     The other hit trump took this morning was the supreme court ruling that for now DACA remains the law of the land. Surely trump thought that bringing an end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, DACA, would happen when he got his nominees through to the supreme court. Yet it appears he has misjudged Chief Justice Roberts. As Roberts sided with the other 4 more liberal justices in keeping these children within our society. It must rankle trump that even when he does have a majority conservative high court he cannot seem to get his policy demands implemented. Apparently Justice Roberts is more concerned with what is correct and good along with his own legacy than to becoming just another puppet for trump to pull out when it is convenient.
     I still have many problems with Roberts but he is showing himself to be a real swing vote on several issues. No doubt trump will be after his head on this one but that old lifetime protection these justices have is too much a barrier for trump to overcome. All in all this weeks court decisions are playing out against trump and we are still awaiting decisions on his personal finances. This week and/or the following week may be the straw that breaks the Camel's back if the high court can keep trump on the hook for his previous ill dealings as adjudged by lower courts. All in all the last bit of trump's tenure as the appointed president is going downhill much like his approval ratings. I say yippee i o ki yay!
