Can Trump not govern if the other two branches can check him?
In a May 29, 2025 press briefing, Caroline Leavitt did say: “America cannot function safely long-term if we are unable to scale advanced domestic manufacturing capacity…” She was criticizing a federal trade court ruling that blocked Trump’s global tariff policy, calling it judicial overreach, not a rejection of coequal branche. While she defended Trump’s authority in foreign trade and national security, she did not reject the constitutional system of checks and balances.
However, adviser Stephen Miller in 2017 said his national security powers will not be questioned.
Simply put: **** you, Miller.
The president will not be allowed to hide unconstitutionality behind his security powers. Don't think that after eight years that Trump does not want full powers.
