Recently animated sophomore poli-sci paper Donald Trump yell-tweeted something. This is not news-worthy. He employed his tiny/yuuuuge fingers in response to a federal appeals court upholding a previous decision to block his nefarious travel ban on individuals from seven primarily Muslim countries.

Unfortunately this demonstrates improvement regarding his capacity for worthwhile attention. He went in on Nordstrom Wednesday for mean girling his daughter. He infamously dedicated time during the national prayer breakfast to drop poop emojis on Arnold Schwazenegger’s head. Thus a tweet directed at a political matter is encouraging.

Less encouraging is the fact that the President of the United States just challenged the, um, courts to a battle in…court. Are we sure there is a smart person on his staff? I have to imagine an intelligent person in the administration who saw that tweet and immediately drank jet fuel.

During his campaign Trump boasted of his record in lawsuits filed against him. According to the USA Today Donald Trump had been sued 488 times. Donald Trump had won 450 cases. Of course the goal is to win all the cases. Trumpian bravado leaves no room for rationality and during the halcyon summer of 2016 his triumphant response to the court record seemed bro-ish at worst.

Donald J. Trump (the J is for jumpshot — take that Obama) was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States of America on January 20, 2017. On January 18th, 2017 President Elect Donald J. Trump had twenty-five million dollars withdrawn from his bank account. $21 million was redistributed to former apprentices and students who payed between $1,495 and $35,000 to Trump University. Donald Trump had lost. Yuge. He had been to court. Seven thousand plantiffs, duped and decimated by a second generation huckster sized up the Trump empire, called their shot, and walked away winners. The remaining four million dollars went to the state of New York.

There is little doubt that Donald J. Trump will tweet more irrational things during his four years as president. The playground threat-lunge he made in the direction of our judicial system has already been committed to our most efficient form of disregard — memes. Trump is a business man above all else. He wrote the Art of the Deal goddammit! He will get his day in court. His support is terrifyingly robust; until we find Steve Bannon’s horcruxes there’s little hope for impeachment or resignation. However one can imagine a day less than four years from now in which the American population can give Donald J. Trump the reckoning he so lustily desires.
