Michael Cohen - Court Victory Masks Political Freefall

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

I know what it’s like to believe your own hype. I lived it, peddled it, and got burned by it. But what we’re seeing now from President Trump and his ever-shrinking circle of yes-men and enablers isn’t just self-delusion; it’s something far more dangerous. It’s the kind of bubble-thick denial that not only sinks presidencies but corrodes democracy from the inside out.

The president is not as popular as his Truth Social blurts or Fox News megaphone would have you believe. Sure, his loyal base is loud. It chants, rallies, and buys the flags. But that base? It’s fractured. And not in the usual political way. I’m talking about the kind of break that no executive order or Supreme Court ruling can mend.

Just look at the recent decision by the Court—a win for Trump, at least on the surface. The justices greenlit the administration’s push to dismantle automatic birthright citizenship or at least allowed it to edge forward by slicing the scope of nationwide injunctions. In typical Trump fashion, he called it a "monumental victory for the Constitution" while spinning it as a restoration of executive authority. But read the ruling closely—it doesn’t validate the order itself. It just tells the courts to make their roadblocks a bit more local. The legal merits of overturning the 14th Amendment haven’t been settled, and spoiler alert: they won’t be in his favor—or at least I don’t believe so.

Now here’s where things get murkier for Trump. Instead of this decision bringing unity or strength to his movement, it’s exposing cracks. Within hours, civil rights groups were back in court, filing class action suits, launching new challenges, and gearing up for the long fight. Trump and company might’ve won a battle, but they’re losing the broader war—not in court, but with the American public.
