Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I think he assumes that as long as nobody in the police or military stops him, he has the authority to do whatever he wants.

Or he just wants it to make the news so his co-conspirators can buy low after which point he can reverse course in (rolls die) 3 days and they can sell high.

Doge has taken over private businesses and the supreme Court says the president can do anything they want (with some fine print that says as long as they are Republican).

Our laws mean nothing now.

And yet, if Trump replaces the chair with a yes-man and no one stops him then he does control the fed and therefore the money. And it doesn’t look like anyone is stopping him from doing this kind of shit any time soon.

Fucking hell, it isn’t that complicated.

Last time, it took weeks of multiple people telling Trump the President doesn't print money. Weeks...

I'd think he loses sleep over the idea that someone so powerful doesn't answer to him, the ~~Supreme Leader~~ President of the United States. So he wants to correct it.

Did you fall out of a time warp? I think you're from 2015, not 2025.
