The first 100 days of the Trump administration were marked by significant legal chaos, characterized by numerous lawsuits challenging new policies. Despite the apparent disarray, there is a strategic underpinning to this turbulence. Democratic state governments pre-allocated resources to fight Trump’s initiatives, while the administration sought to expedite court decisions on controversial reforms. Trump’s aggressive approach is aimed at establishing authority and finality on key issues, notably immigration, before facing potential Democratic resistance in future elections. The Justice Department has had successes while navigating these numerous challenges, demonstrating its commitment to policy changes.
In a system of seemingly random actions, there can be patterns and interconnections, suggesting that there is a type of legal chaos theory behind the Trump administration's actions.
The Democrats had a massive war chest to challenge any new policy of President Trump, pre-approving a litigation fund before the inauguration to tackle these issues.
