Within the last few days, the federal court in Massachusetts blocked the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from implementing new restrictions on mail-in voting.
The court decision about the Trump Executive Order 14399, “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections,” on March 31, 2026, made just before the mid-terms is unconstitutional and not supported by Federal law. Trump believes he can push out Executive Orders whether they are constitutional or not, simply because he can and has the ultimate tool of “Presidential Immunity” which protects him from being prosecuted for his unconstitutional acts. Trumps order if carried out by the U.S. Postal Service which in it self in unprecedented, would disenfranchise voters. In Judge Talwani’s order, she noted that the President of the United States does not have any specific power over elections, asserting that election regulation is reserved for Congress and the states.
Trump’s tool of ‘the Executive Order’ has been grievously abused by him, as he has unlawfully used it in every sense possible to predict outcomes for his own enrichment and also for his family. NONE of the Executive Orders made in Trump’s second term would be for the benefit of the American people. You knew where he was going with such powers when he forgave the rioters of their attacks on the U.S. Capital building On Day ONE of his second term, then pardoning major criminals and convicted felons of confessed crimes since then. He would pardon himself if he can. He did it because he can with the power of his pen. Within the office of the President, he can perform any unlawful acts while performing his presidential duties. He knows that using the Executive Order as one of his presidential duties, he will not have to account for any unconstitutional orders in a court of law in the future. Some of the people he pardoned owned restitution for their crimes. They stole from the people, and were ordered to pay money back as part of their sentence upon conviction. But Trump’s order to free them from detention was that they also did not have to repay the people they stole money from. These actions confirm Trump as being on of the most corrupt presidents of all time. Criminals got to keep what that stole. These Executive Orders given and carried out cannot be contested under law. Judge Talwani has stopped Trumps Executive Order of interfering with elections has been stopped in its tracks before implementation.
Trump has issued just under 275 Executive Orders in his second term. This surpasses his orders of his first term, and signed 26 orders on his very first day in office in his second term, the highest number in presidential history. All of the people convicted of their crimes, even with people who confessed to those crimes, were pardoned by Trump, and in matter of fact, all January 6th offenders were pardoned by him. They were doing his bidding to openly state that the certification of Joe Biden could not take place and performing acts at the U.S. Capital never seen before in American history, unlawful acts where defendants were prosecuted, but are now back on the streets to preform unlawful acts again, as some of them have been arrested again for additional crimes committed after their release.
Donald Trump has granted executive clemency to numerous friends, political allies, and associates across both of his presidential terms, a practice critics describe as using the pardon power to protect loyalists.
In his first and second terms, the following are just some of the people he pardoned from the crimes that they committed…
First Term (2017–2021)
- Paul Manafort: Former campaign chairman, pardoned on his last day in office.
- Roger Stone: Long-time ally, pardoned for lying to Congress.
- Michael Flynn: Former National Security Adviser, pardoned for lying to the FBI.
- Charles Kushner: Father of son-in-law Jared Kushner, pardoned for tax evasion and witness tampering.
- Dinesh D’Souza: Conservative commentator and friend, pardoned in 2018.
- Elliott Broidy: Republican fundraiser, pardoned for lobbying-related charges.
Second Term (2025–Present)
Since returning to office in 2025, Trump has continued granting clemency to allies and donors. Recent high-profile pardons include:
- Rudy Giuliani: Former personal lawyer and NYC mayor, pardoned for obstruction of justice and other charges.
- Mark Meadows: Former White House Chief of Staff, pardoned.
- Todd and Julie Chrisley: Reality TV stars convicted of fraud, pardoned in May 2025.
- Trevor Milton: Founder of Nikola Motors, pardoned for securities fraud.
- Changpeng Zhao: Binance founder, whose ties to Trump family businesses have been noted.
Regarding Trump’s latest Executive Order interfering with upcoming elections, Trump’s targeted effort to use the USPS would make it harder to vote. Meanwhile mail in ballots are already being mailed out.
In the mean time, Todd Blanche’s Department of Justice has filed a notice of appeal to the First Circuit. It is an expedited challenge that is expected to reach the Supreme Court by early next week. If Judge Talwani’s order is erased by the Supreme Court, so does democracy get erased. There will not be a free and fair election this fall.
It is Donald Trump’s only wild card left to subvert the upcoming election to prevent a mid-term disaster for Republicans. He knows the Republican party is doomed if the Supreme Court does not step in. When the American people vote this time as long as the Supreme Court does not interfere, Trump will immediately become a Lame Duck President, and the newly elected Representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives will hold Trump’s conspirators accountable.
Life for Donald Trump will be nothing less than miserable for the rest of his second term, including more up and coming impeachments, except when the impeachments reach the U.S. Senate, it is possible that Donald J. Trump can be voted out of office. He would not face convictions, because Vice-President Vance who would now take office as President of the United States and would immediately pardon him of any of his crimes just like Republican President Gerald Ford did for President Richard Nixon who resigned in disgrace in his second term.
But for now, democracy has been saved.
