Trumpiana: Hey, hey, hey, Daddy! What a big beautiful win!

As big daddy Donald basks in praise from NATO allies, SCOTUS hands the POTUS a lovely homecoming gift

He did not drop any bombs. Not the 14 big bunker buster bombs he offloaded to “totally obliterate” Iran’s nuclear sites and stop its war with Israel. Not even the infamous F-bomb he dropped to keep peace between the two still fighting like kids.

Yet the SCOTUS handed the POTUS 47 a big beautiful homecoming gift — a momentous ruling extending presidential powers beyond what his predecessors from Bush to Obama to Biden could only dream of.

In a 6-3 ruling Friday penned by of all the people Amy Coney Barrett, one of his own three appointees who to Donald Trump’s dismay hasn’t always towed the line, delivered his biggest win yet clearing a major hurdle to his chosen way of making America great again.

Taming the lower courts’ ability to block policies on a nationwide basis – as they have done more than 40 times in Trump’s second term, Barrett wrote, “when a court concludes that the Executive Branch has acted unlawfully, the answer is not for the court to exceed its power, too.”

The ruling did not settle the intertwined issue of ending birthright citizenship, a right enshrined in the Constitution soon after the Civil War, that automatically makes anyone born in the United States an American citizen, including children born to mothers in the country illegally.

Leaving the question open for a final answer in October, the court also agreed to let the administration make public announcements about how it plans to carry out the policy if it eventually is allowed to take effect.

Even as writing for the liberal wing, Obama appointee Sonia Sotomayor decried the majority for “shamefully” playing along with the administration’s “gamesmanship” with an “open invitation to bypass the Constitution,” Trump hailed the “amazing” decision.

“This is such a BIG DAY—A very MONUMENTAL decision!” he wrote on Truth Social announcing plans to “promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis.”

“GIANT WIN in the United States Supreme Court! Even the Birthright Citizenship Hoax has been, indirectly, hit hard,” he wrote in another post. “It had to do with the babies of slaves (same year!), not the SCAMMING of our Immigration process.”

By siding with Trump, the friendly neighbourhood Supreme Court delivered a second blockbuster decision in his favor for the second time in as many years.

Its 6-3 ruling last year that presidents are at least presumptively immune from criminal prosecution for actions taken in office, allowed Trump to avoid a trial on federal election subversion charges.

And since taking office again in January, Trump has won case after case on the Supreme Court’s emergency docket with a ruling Monday allowing him to deport certain migrants to countries other than their homeland.

It was the 10th time the apex court has granted an emergency request from Trump after letting him fire board members at independent agencies, remove transgender Americans from military service and end other protections for migrants, even those in the country legally.

Adding icing to the cake, the Republican controlled Senate, meanwhile, rejected a Democratic resolution that would have forced Trump to go to Congress for approval of another military strike against Iran.

Earlier, as a triumphant Trump landed in The Hague for the NATO summit after deploying what a Washington Post fly on the wall account described as his go to strategy of “a hard punch and a fast exit,” he wonfulsome praise from fawning NATO allies with whom he had clashed for years.“Daddy has to sometimes use strong language,” said NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte admiringly to a pleased as punch Trump.

The POTUS wannabe king had landed in the Dutch capital in a foul mood swearing at Israel and Iran for endangering the truce he had ushered in after both “came to me, almost simultaneously, and said, ‘PEACE!’”

“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f– they’re doing,” an angry Trump told reporters on live television.

But at a night at a real palace “in the beautiful Netherlands” and a “great” breakfast meeting with the King and Queen — beautiful and spectacular people — had changed it all. Flattery from the allies and a promise to spend 5% of their GDP on defense made it sweeter.

“It’s not a rip-off,” declared Trump reversing his past verdict against the alliance. “The NATO Summit yesterday was GREAT, the most unified and productive in history. A wonderful day with incredible and caring Leaders!”

Wondering whether his big Daddy approach would also work on pal Putin who “has been more difficult,” Trump declared “Putin really has to end that war” with Ukraine, without revealing his plans.

Back in Washington, the White House embraced the daddy tag lilting on Truth Social, “🎶 Daddy’s home… Hey, hey, hey, Daddy.”

But “the Failing New York Times and Fake News CNN” were not so deferential. As citing a leaked intelligence report, they suggested that his triple B bombs had only set Iran’s nuclear program back a few months, Trump went ballistic.

“FAKE NEWS REPORTERS FROM CNN & THE NEW YORK TIMES SHOULD BE FIRED, IMMEDIATELY!!! BAD PEOPLE WITH EVIL INTENTIONS!!!” he roared demanding one of “CNN’s DUMBEST ANCHORS” Natasha Bertrand” be thrown out “like a dog.”

Back on the victory lap, Trump talked about still experiencing a sensation in his ear after he was shot in an assassination attempt last July in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“I get that throbbing feeling every once in a while,” he told reporters in the White House calling the presidency a dangerous profession. “But you know what? That’s okay. This is a dangerous business.”

But so is race car driving and bull riding, declared a defiant Trump suggesting, “If somebody would have told me that, maybe I wouldn’t have run.“
