Trump tariffs judges courts setbacks.

President Donald Trump’s big plans on trade, deportations and more are running up against the laws of political gravity and the separation of powers. On Wednesday, a New York court rejected the legal foundation of Trump’s most sweeping tariffs. The setback fit a broader pattern for a president who has advanced an extraordinarily expansive views of executive power. Federal courts have called out the lack of due process in some of Trump’s deportation efforts. His efforts to humble Harvard University and cut the federal workforce have encountered legal obstacles as well. The Trump White House insists it will prevail in the end.
