Trump weighs temporary legal nuke: Liberals remember Constitution exists ⚖️

Reports say Trump considered suspending habeas corpus during civil unrest. Liberals call it fascism—critics call it contingency planning with historical precedent. Leak Social breaks it down.

The mainstream media is in full DEFCON meltdown after reports emerged that the Trump administration considered suspending the writ of habeas corpus—yes, the same 14th-century legal relic that says you have a right to not disappear into a dungeon without a court date. And just like that, the blue-check legal scholars of Twitter law school came out in force.

What they won’t tell you is this: suspending habeas corpus isn’t just some cartoon villain idea Trump invented in a tanning bed. Lincoln did it. FDR did it. Heck, the British Empire kept it on standby like a fire extinguisher. But when the Trump White House even floats the idea during a global crisis filled with riots, biological weapons, and George Soros-funded chaos? Suddenly it’s the Fourth Reich.

Let’s recap: the media said nothing when blue-state governors locked citizens in their homes, banned Easter, and arrested barbers. No habeas corpus concerns then. No thinkpieces about tyranny when the FBI spied on journalists or Catholic dads. But if Trump weighs a temporary constitutional mechanism that literally has precedent? OUTRAGE.

You’d think he’d personally buried the Magna Carta behind the Mar-a-Lago tiki bar.

To be clear: it didn’t happen. It was discussed. Like every other executive option that gets evaluated in a crisis—especially when the streets look like The Purge and the courts are busier processing January 6 cosplay than actual criminals. But for the left, context is irrelevant. Trump thinking out loud is a capital offense.

And let’s not forget who benefits from pretending this is some historic outrage: the same ruling class that turns a blind eye to indefinite detention when it involves January 6 grannies or political dissidents in Canada. Civil liberties are sacred—until your politics are wrong.

Of course, this shows the Trump administration's unwavering commitment to legal restraint and human rights. After all, nothing says "respect for due process" like briefly considering suspending it, right before tweeting about celebrity trial verdicts and promoting 2017 tax cuts on Truth Social. We should all be grateful for such thoughtful statesmanship in these turbulent times.
