IANAL, but perhaps he should appeal under the claim that apparently all the court documents look as though they are written in Liberian. Hardly a fair trial.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What do books have to do with anything??
Beautiful language
I'm appalled it's not on Duolingo yet!
I didn't understand this reference.
Trump recently met with the president of Liberia, and complimented him on his good English speaking skills. English is the national language of Liberia.
Trump complimented the president of Liberia on the president's good English. Liberia is an English-speaking country
I'm fully convinced of the existence of parallel universe. I don't think I could go on knowing this is the definitive one.
What does Liberia have against Trump?
They don't like his language
Oh! Was it the Liberian guy that Trump complimented on his good English when that's an English speaking country? Okay, I'm slow. Funny!
Let’s see what Alibaba product he’ll promote this time.
Tacky 'golden' rapist kit.
Balaclava with 'golden' thread around the holes.
Pair of 'real' faux leather gloves with your initials sewn on to the back in the same golden 😏😏 thread.
Chloroform bottle with a plastic gold coloured cap (alternatively just buy his shitty perfume, it's the same fucking thing)
1 weapon of choice: knife, bat, rope. Whichever you choose will be lightly wafted with some gold spray paint from a rattle can.
Surprised this crusty old twatwaffle doesn't just EO that he didn't do it. Why the fuck not at this point. There are no spines in Congress or scotus, they'll let him do it.
Executive orders can only instruct the Executive Branch to take some sort of action. While the Department of Justice is a part of the Executive Branch, it consists of the government's lawyers, not of the government's judges. The judicial branch is outside the purview of the Executive Branch, and so out of reach of a Trump EO.
Now, would he still try? Of course he would. But it would have the same legal weight as Michael Scott yelling "I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!!"
Eh, "executive order," "royal decree" -- same difference, at this point!
I'm sure that he thinks so.
This isn't federal court. You can't EO around it, then, right?
Who can stop him?
He can do it, but it won't matter. EOs directed at something outside of the Executive Branch are basically just announcements.
They are still getting followed.
His shit about trans women in women’s sports got Lia Thomas’s records stripped from her, and I doubt any school is going to allow trans women to play anything in the future.
Well, the Department of Education is a part of the Executive Branch, so the NCAA has a financial incentive to go along with Trump's EOs or lose funding.
I'm not saying that EOs are completely toothless, and I'm also not saying that he won't try. I'm just saying that they can't do absolutely anything; and specifically, they can't directly impact the Judiciary.
That judge better be on a plane.
"Time to quintuple down," said the dirtbag.
Only time his name makes me smile is when he has been once again slapped down by a court of law. Gives me butterflies almost.
This guy loses more than wins, so that makes him a loser.
Trump loco - loses or chickens out
Trump Always Chickens Out Or Loses
Tacool
The winningest loser!
Suffering from success
*Loser rapist
*loser rapist felon
*loser rapist felon con-man
*stupid dumbshit goddamn motherfucker
I'd add fascist to this list, but I see you already included loser.
And he's not even a good golfer.
Well, he's famous for his foot-wedge.
I feel like the number of loser rapist felon conmen good dads is really small
Well, Trump talked about dating his daughter while she sat on his lap, so he's not gonna land in the overlap of that venn diagram anyway.
also he's fucking fat and stupid and I hate him.
