Kari Lake, the Trump administration Senior Advisor for the US Agency for Global Media, suggested Sunday that President Donald Trump should defy court orders he views as politically motivated.

Appearing on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, Lake criticized federal judges who have issued rulings blocking Trump’s executive actions on immigration, tariffs, and agency reforms.

She also accused the judiciary of attempting to “subvert the will of the people” through those rulings. “They’re completely out of control,” Lake told host Maria Bartiromo. “They are basically usurping the power of the president.”

Judges have issued temporary injunctions on immigration enforcement policies, halted tariff measures, and blocked efforts to slash jobs and funding for federal agencies, including the US Agency for Global Media. Several of these disputes are expected to advance to the Supreme Court. Lake, who oversees media entities such as Voice of America and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting, said court rulings had delayed efforts to reshape her operation.

5. Tell us how it is, Teleprompt reader

She has bachelor in communication degree and no training in the US laws & Constitution. She is just a well spoken person that reads a teleprompter on TV written by other people. IMHO.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

15. It is NOT just one judge with an agenda

[JohnnyRingo]

33. "Agenda" indeed.

Even though he's shopping judges in different aisles, they all agree.

[patphil]

16. The Constitution is their agenda.

They are the ones who interpret the laws of the land. They don't usurp the power of the president, they see to it that the president's power is limited by the rule of law.

Someone's out of control here, but it isn't the Judicial Branch.

23. "follow the Constitution". In Your Boss's case...

I DON'T Think So!!!!!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[DallasNE]

24. Read A History Book Lake

Avoid making a fool of yourself. The Executive does not determine the rule of law. The Courts are there for that. Also, the Judicary does not subvert the will of the people. It is for the Congress to pass the laws that the people have asked for, not the Executive by penning Executive Orders. It is all right there in the Constitution. Just do as it demands. Right now you look like some kind of fool Lake. It is how the rule of law works. Get with it.

[bucolic_frolic]

26. Translate. The law is what Trump says it is. /nt

[ProudMNDemocrat]

27. The AGENDA of Federal Judges, Kari, IS TO FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION!

Damn, that woman is DUMB!!!

[vapor2]

28. STFU

[Norrrm]

29. Like following the Constitution's birthright citizenship instead of Trump wanting judges to overturn it?

Or is that..... different?

[58Sunliner]

30. Ugly lying witch.

[Hassler]

31. Electoral loser and weather reader

[no_hypocrisy]

32. Lake is oblivious that "the Will of The People" has been and is drastically shifting.

Her premise falls apart.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

35. trump might want to consider following the law

[republianmushroom]

36. Doubt the Ms. Lake has ever read the constitution.

[Zambero]

37. Stupid as always

The Constitution enshrined separation of powers, establishing three separate but equal branches of government. Lake would categorically discard the Judicial branch. With an enabling Congress content to forego its oversight and legislative responsibilities, that enables a rogue imperial presidency ruling by decree. So much for the Constitution and representative democracy. Yet again, Lake's remarks reveal her to be a clueless idiot.
