Trump's Second Term

It's not like we didn't see this coming . . .

The White House is preparing an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education, two sources familiar with the plans told NBC News.

President Donald Trump cannot unilaterally abolish a federal agency without the approval of Congress.


The planned order follows years of campaign promises from Trump to abolish the federal Education Department.

What/who's gonna stop him?
 
Trump has shown a major weakness in our government. No other branch has any teeth to enforce laws or rules. He controls all of the enforcement, and as long as they go along, he can break whatever laws he wants. He's doing it in public, with Elon's help, and all any other branch can do is say "hey, that's illegal!"

And afterward --assuming it ever ends-- there's no recourse to charge Trump with any crimes because he's got presidential immunity.

"Canada will implement their $1.3 Billion Border plan, and as per Prime Minister Trudeau, will be, "reinforcing the Border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of Do fentanyl."

Hmm... Trump doesn't understand which way they will looking!

Europe will probably also invest even more in its military than Trump demanded, which he will no doubt take credit for even though it won't happen for the reason he thinks.

The fentanyl is probably going US to Canada direction.

Other branches could actually do much more than say, "hey, that's illegal!," but it would require them to do something that may not be legal.
For the time being, nobody appears to have the guts to do so.
The Americans could also do something to put a stop to him, but they aren't very good at thinking outside the box.

Donal just delivered yet another masterclass in negotiation, proving once again that leadership through strength gets results. In just days, he forced Canada to bend the knee and take border security seriously something Biden never even attempted.
Under Biden, cartels operated with impunity, fentanyl flooded into American cities killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, and Democrats refused to hold Canada accountable.

Donald is in control, and Canada has already lost this fight now they have 30 days to comply with Donald's demands on becoming the 51st State before he destroys their economy and viability as an independent state.

Damn, I've been busy
 
So Trump postponed the tariffs after Mexico and Canada said they were going to do exactly what they had already agreed to do. More likely his billionaire buddies weren't happy about the hit to the Stock Market.
 
I think it's likely that he's doing what he can to cause stock market volatility, I'm sure billions were made by his investor buddies in the last few days.

The problem is that you can only do that so many times. I think it was Mark Twain who said something about how yes, the cat will learn to avoid a hot stove after being burned, but it will also avoid the cold stove thereafter.
