i'm ari melber. the week is ending like it began another setback for president trump as his rush to try to rule without governing leads to having his plans trimmed, dropped, or outright blocked. trump began the week backing down from his. threatened trade war and ends it with another court ruling trimming his efforts to govern without. law or congress. a judge pausing parts of the attack on usaid. that plan. appears to have been mostly hatched not by trump, but by someone who claims to wield powers on the president's behalf. elon musk leading to this new time magazine cover with. the arch reference to him behind the resolute desk, appearing to be some kind of president in his own oval office. this is striking. it follows other covers and commentary that have made similar points. you're probably familiar. early on, right before the inauguration, you had the new yorker magazine cartoon showing musk, not trump, getting sworn in with president trump. you can see the tuft of blond hair in the cartoon bein

for example. >> not a lot has been shifted, ari. you've got to get musk out of these offices. and if the court can't do that, then there's not a lot of change that's going to go on. and he has no constitutional right to be there. >> yeah. >> well right. that goes to you know even cabinet members have can't work for a military contractor while running the pentagon. and yet. >> he's sort of the. go ahead. >> yeah. i mean, i mean, trump's ethics have never been you know, he's that's never been an issue for him. ethics has never been part of his business career or his political career. so this is not a surprise. you know, the thing that surprised me a little bit is the complete lack of spine of any of the 53 republicans in the senate. i mean, i was so disappointed, doctor cassidy, when he voted for the anti-vaxxer for hhs secretary. he's a doctor and he's a pretty respected doctor. at least he was until a couple of days ago. that's the thing that really kills me about this. through all the partizan stuff that's been going on most of the time i've been in politics, there have alway
