#DEXTER Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 President Donald Trump has reason to hope his luck is changing after a long legal losing streak. Trump got to celebrate a big win Wednesday in an emoluments clause case relating to his Washington hotel. And there are signs that a case in Louisiana could cause yet another near death experience for Obamacare, his predecessor's top domestic achievement. The courtroom action this week represents a potential reversal of fortune for Trump following a long list of defeats the President has tasted on cases from immigration to the 2020 census to his efforts to thwart Democratic oversight to his central campaign promise to build a border wall. For a man who bills himself as one of life's ultimate winners, Trump's legal losing record is a branding nightmare. Yet the intimate relationship between this President and the courts actually goes beyond the win-loss calculation that normally powers Trump's life. The judicial system serves multi-dimensional roles for Trump in his personal, business and Washington life.
