With at least 250 lawsuits filed against President Donald Trump in the first 100 days of the Administration — averaging about three lawsuits per business day — it is a challenge to keep up with them all.
Trump has secured a series of recent victories in the courts. Here are some of them:
- A federal appeals court reinstated Trump’s authority to impose tariffs on foreign goods. The decision temporarily allows for a 10% universal tariff on most imports and a 30% tariff specifically targeting Chinese goods. A lower trade court had blocked the tariffs, saying that they exceeded presidential authority, but the appeals court granted a pause on that ruling pending further review.
- The US Supreme Court ruled the president may remove the heads of independent federal agencies without cause, such as the National Labor Relations Board.
- The Supreme Court also upheld Trump’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans, reversing a previous court order that blocked the policy. The ruling affects approximately 350,000 Venezuelan nationals in the country.
- The Supreme Court sided with Trump in a dispute over federal staffing authority, allowing the termination of 16,000 probationary federal employees. The lower court had previously halted the firings.
No other administration has faced a comparable volume of lawsuits in such a short period. For example, the Obama Administration faced 12 nationwide injunctions over eight years, and President Joe Biden had 14 injunctions over four years, while Trump’s second term has seen 20–30 injunctions in his first 130 days in office.
WINNING! Yes!
Winning??? You will not see it printed on this propaganda site, but Trump has lost 93% of his court cases so far.
We need more frontier justice
True, there are occasional wins. But in general they are far outnumbered by actual losses, probable future losses, and definite future losses. But go ahead and pop your corks if it makes you feel better.
Correct. Trump has had a stunningly lopsided losing streak in court of 93%.
Whidbey–Studies cited by the non-partisan The Hill suggest Trump’s overall win rate was around 17%, compared to the 70% win rate of previous administrations. Notably, the losses in May 2025 were across the board, with both Republican-appointed judges (72.2% against) and Democratic-appointed judges (80.4% against) ruling against the administration. Additionally, most of the wins were not argued on the merit of the case, but on procedural issues. His losses in lower federal courts stand at 96% as of yesterday. Meaning that he won only 4% of the cases brought before federal courts.
Losing in the cherry picked lower courts is not representative of the final judicial outcomes.
