The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.

You see, we can protest as much as we like that these tariffs are illegal (just as the previous ones were.) PotUS doesn’t care. He puts them in place, and they stand for now.

Was the invasion of Venezuela legal? Who cares⁉️ It’s done. Was the attack on Iran legal? (How about the one last year?) It doesn’t matter. It’s history now.

It’s really no different than the East Wing of the White House; it really doesn’t matter what a court decides, as to whether he acted legally or not; the East Wing is gone.

This is really nothing new for this man.
