The Trump Watch Year End Spectacular!

Man, what a year. Donald Trump became president Jan. 20 and lawyers promptly sued him over pretty much everything, including his business ties, his travel ban, his sanctuary cities policies, his environmental rollbacks, you name it.

He's made waves outside the courtroom too, tweeting straight-up disses about his own attorney general and the Justice Department and even using social media to criticize judges. Speaking of judges, Trump placed a Supreme Court justice on the bench, and has nominated dozens for the lower courts.
