Summary
Donald Trump’s chaotic first 45 days are showing signs of adjustment as he faces economic and political resistance.
After market tumbles and Supreme Court resistance to DOGE team actions, Trump publicly clipped Elon Musk’s wings during a Cabinet meeting where Marco Rubio confronted Musk over State Department staff cuts.
Trump delayed tariffs on Mexico and Canada to calm markets, suggesting a shift from "shock and awe.”
The Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling against freezing foreign aid represents another significant setback to Trump’s executive authority ambitions.
He’s just gonna invoke the insurrection act when the opposition starts to get real traction. I’m low-key suspicious he’s going to try it before the handful of special elections coming up in April.
