Economy booming, (71% of Americans agree, and give him credit for it) VETO administered, Emergency Order stands, ( and will be upheld by SCOTUS if necessary) SCOTUS supporting his illegal detention policies...not a bad week , so far, for #45.
The SCOTUS sides with AMERICAN CITIZENS OVER ILLEGAL CRIMINALS, unlike the Demleft...even on the Court.

U.S. Supreme Court hands Trump a victory on immigration detention
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court on Tuesday endorsed the U.S. government's authority to detain immigrants awaiting deportation anytime - potentially even years - after they have completed prison terms for criminal convictions, handing President Donald Trump a victory as he pursues hardline immigration policies.The court ruled 5-4 along ideological lines, with its conservative justices in the majority and its liberal justices dissenting, that federal authorities could pick up such immigrants and place them into indefinite detention anytime, not just immediately after they finish their prison sentences.
The law states the government can detain convicted immigrants "when the alien is released" from criminal detention. Civil rights lawyers argued that the language of the law shows that it applies only immediately after immigrants are released. The Trump administration said the government should have the power to detain such immigrants anytime. "It is not the court's job", Alito wrote, to impose a time limit for when immigrants can be detained after serving a prison sentence. Alito noted that the court has said in the past that "an official's crucial duties are better carried out late than never."
