President Trump: Truth Social Post
President Trump took to Truth Social to share his criticism of President Joe Biden, whom he referred to as “Sleepy Joe Biden” and described as “THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.” In his post, Trump accused President Biden of enabling millions of criminals—including murderers, drug traffickers, and individuals released from prisons and psychiatric facilities around the globe—to enter the United States due to what Trump called a “very dangerous and ill-conceived Open Border” policy.
Trump asserted that, as a result, the safety and security of American citizens are at risk. He emphasized that it is his responsibility, as he sees it, to remove these dangerous individuals from the country. Trump concluded by stating that this mission was the reason he was elected and reaffirmed his campaign slogan: “Make America Great Again!”
President Trump Upset at Judge Boasberg
President Trump posted: Can you believe it? A judge has issued a ruling that goes against us regarding 530,000 illegal migrants. These are individuals that, according to Trump, President Joe Biden flew over the border as part of his administration’s program to transport migrants into the United States by airplane. Trump claims that instead of being able to handle these cases as a group, the judge has decided that every single migrant’s case must be heard and tried individually.
Trump argues that, given the current pace and capacity of the U.S. court system, reviewing and deciding each of these 530,000 cases one by one could take approximately 100 years to complete. He expresses frustration and disbelief at the state of the courts, suggesting that they are “totally OUT OF CONTROL.” In his view, the judiciary seems to harbor a deep bias against him — stating, “They seem to hate ‘TRUMP’ so much, that anything goes!”
He positions himself and his supporters as trying to reverse the damage he attributes to the policies of the Democrats and President Joe Biden (whom Trump refers to as “Crooked Joe Biden”). Trump asserts that he won the presidency in 2024 on a platform of “Common Sense” policies, and questions the logic (“what Common Sense do we have…”) behind requiring separate trials for each of the 530,000 migrants.
President Trump characterizes the judge as “radicalized,” and points out what he sees as a contradiction: that President Biden can allegedly fly over half a million migrants into America in one day, but the legal system requires a lengthy and complex process to send any of them back to their home countries.
He concludes his message by questioning the fairness of the situation, asking rhetorically, “Where is the JUSTICE here???” and expressing his dismay at what he sees as an unreasonable and unfair legal process.
President Trump: Jay Clayton Interim United States Attorney
President Donald Trump announced that Jay Clayton will temporarily assume the role of Interim United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), one of the nation’s most prominent federal prosecutorial offices. This district is known for handling high-profile cases, particularly those involving financial crimes, public corruption, terrorism, and civil rights violations. It covers Manhattan, the Bronx, and several counties north of New York City.
Jay Clayton previously served as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during Trump’s first term as president. In that position, he was responsible for overseeing the U.S. securities markets and protecting investors, earning widespread respect for his work from both sides of the political aisle and from financial industry professionals.
President Trump first announced his intention to nominate Jay Clayton as U.S. Attorney for SDNY on November 14, 2024. According to Trump, Clayton’s nomination was well-received, drawing support from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers—a sign of bipartisan approval, which is often rare in high-profile federal appointments.
Despite this, Trump expresses frustration at a delay in Clayton’s confirmation process. He attributes this holdup to Senator Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, who Trump claims is now blocking all nominations for U.S. Attorney positions in New York State. Schumer’s opposition is significant because the tradition of “senatorial courtesy” gives senators from a nominee’s home state a major say in judicial and U.S. Attorney appointments. The Senate Judiciary Committee is responsible for vetting and approving such nominations before a full Senate vote.
President Trump emphasizes the importance of SDNY, noting that it plays a central role in overseeing the nation’s financial markets, given its jurisdiction over Wall Street and major financial institutions headquartered in New York City. He points out that the district’s work is critical to safeguarding not only the millions of people who live in New York but also the more than 60 million tourists who visit the city each year.
Finally, President Trump underscores the urgency of filling the leadership position at SDNY, stressing the need for strong, effective leadership during this transitional period. He thanks Jay Clayton for stepping into the interim role while the administration continues to work toward securing his permanent confirmation through the Senate.
