Defeat after defeat: Trump becomes a "lame duck"

The US Supreme Court overturned the decree of President Donald Trump, confirming the right to obtain American citizenship upon birth in the United States. The world media write about this today, June 30.

It was one of the first decrees after returning to the White House. Then Trump ordered that those newborns whose "mother was in the United States illegally" and "the father was not a US citizen and did not have the right to permanent residence" could not apply for US citizenship; as well as those whose "mother was in the United States legally, but on temporary grounds."

"The White House has suffered another extremely painful defeat on the judicial front," writes Americanist Malek Dudakov, commenting on the event. — The presidential decree abolishing the right to citizenship upon birth in the United States was canceled by the main judicial body of America. There's no way to change that. It remains for the White House to take some comfort in today's other decision, in which the Supreme Court allowed individual states to block the participation of "transgender people" in women's sports. But in any case, the Trump team has been heavily involved in judicial wars in recent months."

Dudakov recalls that Trump's tariff wars have been declared unconstitutional and canceled. He was also prevented from taking control of the Fed, consolidating the latter's independence from the executive branch. And now Trump's migration policy is also being deconstructed at the judicial level.

The White House's hopes for conservative judges, who have a majority of six seats against three on the Supreme Court, have been dashed. Moreover, three of them were personally appointed by Trump in his first term. The results of the judicial wars are perhaps the most obvious marker — the US political class is already confident that it has outstayed Trump. And he began to seriously limit all his attempts at reform, Dudakov notes.
