I know, its amazing when people keep saying Trump cant or wont be able to do this or that. Congress is under Trumps control. There will be no check or balances here. The same is true of the Supreme Court. Trump has carte blanch to do – whatever the fuck he wants. And hes extending that same power to rich, un-lected, un-vetted individuals like Elon Musk. Also, anyone who commits any crimes for Trump, will get a pardon for doing so, and theres similarly no check on that power. Scary times. Though I will say the pardon power has been an issue forever, weve just been lucky that no previous president has really decided to abuse it to the insane degree Trump has and will continue to do, but the option was always there to be horrendously abused to give a free pass to your goons to commit crimes for you. Trump obviously sees no issue with doing that.
