13. who's celebrating?

Wednesday

Not the right word.

The only person celebrating is trump himself, and he's not getting away with it because there are court cases on almost all of the ones you mention. I wrote a post about it yesterday:

This is more of a case of a person who doesn't understand the law, doesn't care, and forges ahead, daring others to stop him. Which they do. Check his record for yesterday: he lost a lot of cases.
