    Pitchforks, torches, tar and feathering, permanent exile to a deserted island, or perhaps just the good old public stocks. ( business opportunity selling rotten fruit and vegetables to throw at him) How about a gladiator battle Roman style - throw in Putin. Kim Jong Un, Trump, Tony Blair, and any other world leaders past and present who are still alive and not exactly men ( or women ) of the people to battle it out between each other or just fight with lions.

    They will tar and feather him ( it would just be lame tokenism anyway to cover the fact he really wont do much for the people who need a hand up - wil he tax himself? No he has already dodged a lot and still got to be president) He is not a man ofbthe people and the whitehouse may be stormed again by his digruntled supporters when they findbout they have been mugged)

    Sounds like he is trying to hobble his business competition - will he pay his taxes on his business interests? Why just those particular billionaires? He is playing you.

    Trump is a self serving, narcisistic , flim flam man with the morals of a pimp and the soul of a snake oil salesman.

    Vice-President JD Vance has suggested judges do not have authority over the Trump administration's executive power, as the White House responds to a flurry of lawsuits that aim to stall its agenda.

    "Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power," he said.

    So now they're trying to erode the system of checks and balances. Well, Trump needs to be checked and our government needs to be balanced. Because there's nothing legitimate about Trump's executive power.

    So...the fact you listed has nothing to do with what Trump is now attempting to do, nor the relevance, consequences, or of legality of those actions.

    I wasn't asking for facts like, "Trump won the election", that's self evident.
    What I am asking for is facts that support your opinions, accusations, predictions, etc.

    trump is attempting to appease the people that voted for him in any way he can, he is a master at circumventing the law he has been using it against itself for YEARS, its actually pretty interesting

    Consolidation of power in the executive branch.
    He already controls the Republican arm of Congress and most of the Supreme Court...but those nasty underling judges keep getting in the way.....

    Has the supreme court upheld any of his declarations or proclamations?

    1. The Supreme Court restored Donald Trump to the ballot in several states. The states, which were led by Colorado, had sought to disqualify him on the grounds that he had participated in an insurrection at the Capitol in 2020.

    2. In a 6-3 decision, the court held that a former president has absolute immunity for his core constitutional powers.
    The Supreme Court ruled that Trump may have immunity for some of his alleged conduct in his federal election interference case because it falls under "official acts."

    3. In a 6-3 vote, the court ruled that because there was no proof the rioters tried to tamper with or destroy documents, they did not qualify for the obstruction charge.
    What it means: The Supreme Court has made it harder to charge Capitol riot defendants with obstruction — a charge that was also brought against Trump following the events of Jan. 6, 2021.

    4. Whole Woman’s Health v. Jackson (2021) isn’t just one of the worst Supreme Court decisions of the post-Trump era, it’s one of the worst decisions in the Court’s history.

    5. Another judicially created legal rule, and one that has already been embraced by the Supreme Court, is the “major questions” doctrine, which limits which policy decisions can be made by federal agencies.
    It is a very recent invention, which has largely been used by Republican appointees on the Supreme Court to invalidate policies created by Democratic administrations — and especially by the Biden administration.

    6. Donald Trump took credit Wednesday for the elimination of Roe v. Wade, embracing his role in selecting the Supreme Court justices who were instrumental in ending the half-century precedent that protected abortion rights nationwide.
