Warning: This isn’t commentary, it’s a crime report dressed like a comedy routine. If you’re allergic to constitutional violations, step away now.

So, let’s get this straight. The Constitution says treaties are ratified by the Senate. That’s not “guidance,” that’s not “suggested bedtime reading.” That’s the law. But what does FOTUS do? He signs an executive order giving NATO-style security guarantees to Qatar like he’s handing out Groupons. “Attack Qatar, and it’s an attack on us.” Excuse me? Since when do you get to trade U.S. military commitments for a shiny used 747? You don’t. That’s not foreign policy, that’s cosplay mobster work: “Nice country you got there, Qatar. Be a shame if something happened to it. What’s that, you’ve got a jet for me? Done deal.”

This is the government now: backroom swaps, Sharpie signatures, and a middle finger to the Constitution.

And it doesn’t stop at foreign affairs. Oh no. On the home front, we’ve got Trump firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because she reported inconvenient numbers. He wanted “good jobs data.” She gave him reality. So he replaced her with a guy whose biggest credentials are racism, sexism, and a Twitter account that would embarrass a troll farm. Even Republican senators took one look and said, “Nope, we’re not touching that.” When even Susan Collins won’t meet with you, that’s not bipartisanship, that’s quarantine.

Meanwhile, ICE is out here auditioning for the role of Stasi. American citizens — with passports, Real IDs, proof of citizenship — handcuffed, dragged off, locked in vans, held for hours or days, because they looked wrong. Workers washing cars, handing out résumés, walking to the office — detained like criminals while the agents decide if their existence offends. This isn’t security. This isn’t law enforcement. These are Kavanaugh stops. The court literally said: “It’s fine to racially profile people. If they’re citizens, you’ll let them go eventually.” That’s not due process. That’s “papers, please” in an American accent.

And all this is greased by the shutdown. With oversight gutted, staff furloughed, inspectors silenced, they can pull these stunts out in the open and dare you to notice. Funds for blue states? “On hold.” $18 billion for New York infrastructure? “Needs review.” Translation: we’re holding your money hostage until you kiss the ring.

This is the game plan: lawlessness as governance. Power as performance. Every agency, every office, every rule bent until it snaps. It’s not a mistake; it’s the business model. Trump and his cronies don’t care about legality. They care about leverage. And they’re turning the machinery of government into their own personal collection of shakedown rackets.

Usually, strongmen pull this crap when they’re popular. This one’s not. His policies hurt everyday Americans. His ICE goons arrest citizens. His economic tinkering costs jobs. His foreign deals trade away U.S. credibility for trinkets. There’s no popularity to stand on — only naked coercion, bullying, and incompetence wrapped up in gold-plated lies.

And here’s the kicker: it’s working. Not because it’s smart, but because it’s relentless. They’re dismantling the idea that law restrains power, replacing it with the idea that power is law. That’s not governing. That’s mob rule with a flag stapled to it.
