The Constitution Strikes Back Against Trump
- President Donald Trump returned to power four months ago and has implemented a series of executive orders and policies challenging constitutional norms.
- This situation arose as the administration sought to expand presidential power, at times disregarding court rulings and undermining independent agencies established to protect health and prosperity.
- The administration has targeted perceived opponents such as universities, labor unions, media, and former officials, actions that some courts have halted due to constitutional concerns.
- Almost 6 in 10 adults believe Trump has exceeded presidential power limits, and nearly 7 in 10 adults say presidents should follow Supreme Court rulings even when inconvenient, reflecting widespread public concern.
- Experts warn that unless the president alters course, the nation risks a constitutional crisis that could weaken democratic accountability and the rule of law.
