    As a Portlander, I’m really happy that some of the people that we elected here in Portland and Oregon lead this legal fight to stop Trump’s dumb fucking bullshit trade way by fiat.

    In some ways we are saving the economy from Trump, and thus saving Trump from facing the ramifications of his own stupid fucking decisions, but on the other hand, it’s nice that something is being done to challenge his authority.
