  • Even proponents of unilateral moves such as restricting birthright citizenship and rejecting federal spending measures expect them to face litigation. That's part of the plan.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's strategy of using executive actions to push his agenda, particularly in the realm of immigration policy, with the expectation that these actions would be challenged in court.

This tactic was evident in his decisions like the travel ban affecting several Muslim-majority countries and the attempt to end the DACA program. These moves often led to legal battles, with courts frequently issuing stays or injunctions against his policies. Trump's strategy was not just about policy implementation but also about framing these legal challenges as attacks by political adversaries, thereby rallying his supporters and portraying himself as a victim of judicial overreach. This approach, while risky, allowed Trump to claim he was fighting for his policies even when they were blocked, maintaining his image as a decisive leader amidst legal and political turmoil.
