    Supreme Court hands Trump Major Immigration Victories | Lichtman Live #241

    The Supreme Court has handed President Trump a series of major legal victories that could dramatically reshape U.S. immigration policy. In a set of consequential rulings, the Court allowed the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of migrants from countries including Haiti and Syria, cleared the way for the administration to revive policies limiting how asylum claims are processed at the southern border, and struck down a Hawaii law restricting firearms on private property open to the public. What do these decisions mean for immigration, executive power, the federal courts, and the future of U.S. policy? Join Allan Lichtman as he analyzes what the Supreme Court decided, why these rulings matter, and what they could mean politically heading into the next election cycle.

    The Great MYSTERY of the POOL VANDALS! | Lichtman Live #240

    President Trump says vandals are responsible for the latest disaster at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool—but is that the full story?Just days after a $16 million renovation intended to make the Reflecting Pool "American flag blue" ahead of America's 250th anniversary, the project has been plagued by peeling paint, algae blooms, alleged chemical contamination, and multiple arrests. Trump claims vandals carved a 300-foot gash into the pool's new surface and introduced chemicals into the water, while critics question whether the problems stem from the renovation itself.In this video, Allan Lichtman separates the verified facts from the political rhetoric, examines what investigators have confirmed, discusses the arrests, explores the controversy surrounding the no-bid contracts, and explains why this unusual story has become a national political flashpoint.🔔 Subscribe for more sharp insights on politics and history!📅 Join us LIVE Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 PM Eastern!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyQx8dGfgcQ4WUhrKP0ORlQ/join📚 Order Conservative at the Core here: https://undpress.nd.edu/9780268210304/conservative-at-the-core/Conservative at the Core has been selected as a History finalist for the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards: https://undpress.nd.edu/blog/2026/03/20/notre-dame-press-titles-named-2025-foreword-indies-finalists/👕🫏Check out Dr. Lichtman’s Merch Shop!🐘🧢 https://allan-lichtman.printify.me/Find all of our links here! 🔗https://linktr.ee/allanlichtman#WashingtonDC #BreakingNews #Politics #AllanLichtman #LichtmanLive

    TRUMP TACOs ON IRAN!!! | Lichtman Live #239

    Did President Trump just have another "TACO" moment?Following days of escalating rhetoric toward Iran, the administration shifted toward diplomacy and renewed negotiations, prompting critics to revive the viral "TACO" acronym—"Trump Always Chickens Out." Originally coined during debates over Trump's tariff strategy, the nickname has resurfaced as commentators argue his Iran approach followed a familiar pattern: maximum pressure followed by de-escalation.In this video, Allan Lichtman examines whether Trump's latest move represents strategic negotiation or political retreat. We analyze the timeline of threats, the push for an Iran deal, the implications for U.S. foreign policy, the reaction from allies and adversaries, and what history suggests about negotiating through brinkmanship.Is this effective diplomacy—or another example of threatening first and backing down later?🔔 Subscribe for more sharp insights on politics and history!📅 Join us LIVE Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 PM Eastern!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyQx8dGfgcQ4WUhrKP0ORlQ/join📚 Order Conservative at the Core here: https://undpress.nd.edu/9780268210304/conservative-at-the-core/Conservative at the Core has been selected as a History finalist for the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards: https://undpress.nd.edu/blog/2026/03/20/notre-dame-press-titles-named-2025-foreword-indies-finalists/👕🫏Check out Dr. Lichtman’s Merch Shop!🐘🧢 https://allan-lichtman.printify.me/Find all of our links here! 🔗https://linktr.ee/allanlichtman#Trump #Iran #ForeignPolicy #Politics #iranwar
