Trump’s strategy to get his way: declare one fake ‘emergency’ after another | Steven Greenhouse via US news | The Guardian — The US president’s tactic could put this fall’s elections at risk. A supreme court decision could go far to protect them Hating legal constraints, Donald Trump has repeatedly taken unilateral actions for which he had zero legal authority unless he found some national emergency to declare.

Wittes argues that Trump’s attack on Iran reflects a governing style that confuses surviving a gamble with making a wise decision. Even a favourable outcome, he says, would not redeem the recklessness of launching war without a credible plan, a solid legal basis, or prudential restraint. “[R]eckless and stupid decisions” “[U]ltimate presidential BASE jump” “[G]overnance as an extreme sport” Benjamin Wittes, “The Situation: The BASE Jumping Presidency,” Lawfare, 6-Mar-2026.

Trump’s Iran post isn’t about Iran. It’s about control: bind the general publicly, rename the menu, pre-burn the competing storyline as “purposefully” wrong.

A woman sits poised in a stately office reminiscent of a presidential setting. Warm, golden light pours through tall windows behind her, creating a dramatic backlit silhouette that frames her profile. An American flag stands near the desk, and framed portraits hang on the walls, reinforcing the sense of institutional authority and legacy. She wears a sharply tailored black suit with a crisp white blouse. Seated in a large leather executive chair, she crosses her legs elegantly, her posture composed and controlled. Papers and folders are stacked across the polished wooden desk, suggesting active leadership and decision-making. The lighting is painterly and high-contrast, with deep shadows pooling around the room’s edges while highlights illuminate her face and legs. The atmosphere blends political gravitas with cinematic noir intimacy—suggesting power exercised quietly, thoughtfully, and with deliberate restraint.

Office for Personal Gain: LBJ vs. Trump and Political Corruption Comparing LBJ’s ethical abuses with Donald Trump’s use of public office for personal gain, examining scale, visibility, and moral consequence.

“Both sides” arguments collapse fast when history is applied seriously.

Moral equivalence isn’t analysis — it’s evasion. 📚⚖️

In the Civil War, Lincoln’s blockade was treated as an act of war.
In the Cuban Missile Crisis, Kennedy called it a “quarantine” because “blockade” meant war under international law.
Trump embraces the word. That matters.
