Frankly, he can just pardon them all at the end of his term and then they will never be accountable. Also, turds like Elon can just pay lawyers to tie up legal cases forever.

The long-term best outcome for us may be that it sparks such a backlash that Democrats end up with such a crazy majority that they can pass constitutional amendments. However, typically countries bounce between extremes in situations like this. If we get such a backlash, it would be unlikely that Dems would still be the status quo friendly technocrats that just want things to work better. They would be the people who could ride the anti-trump wave.
It'll never happen because if dems win everything, and set the rules in ink, they can't fundraise with the threat of another authoritarian.
Sorry for having to point out the obvious, I guess.
Punk bitch will find the energy to whine about Dems, but God forbid you even discuss what Republicans are doing. Totally oblivious to his own actions

I would complain about republicans, but I'd like to stay out of the concentration camps as long as possible, thanks!
I'm too pretty for prison uwu
I'd absolutely sell everyone out in a heartbeat, make no mistake.
Mexico and Canada should team up and tariff and tax the shit out of America until they do something about guns being trafficked into their countries.
I'm surprised the Republicans are moving this fast to destroy the economy. They usually have to wait a couple of years to undo the good the democrats did.
Maybe moving fast will let them blame Biden, haha
They learned from experience there are no consequences, so there's no brakes this time.
They always had to have a soft touch. Make sure it's still possible to win next time. If there's no next time, then you have no qualms with going all in.
Not when the prices don't come back down after the tariffs are removed.
depends on the length of this
no company can increase the price of their final product to the consumer by more than 8% overnight. you'll price yourself out of the market immediately
basically every company that sells a physical product will be operating with a significantly higher cost of goods line, either because they've continued to buy the (initially) cheaper materials that will get tariffed, or changed to buy the more expensive domestic materials. regardless of the scenario this isn't something that companies can snap their fingers and increase their final end price to consumers to match their new cost of goods quickly
if you increase your price too much people will just buy the product that's cheaper because some other company is willing to eat the increased cost of goods but minimize the hit to their bottom line elsewhere (usually labour via layoffs)
The kind of backlash that does this is usually country wide strikes and stoppage of labour along with rolling protests (ie.Ukraine's Maidan Revolution). Trump and that fucker Musk are going to keep doing this shit until they push people beyond the breaking point of what they can take and honestly I would love to see a massive Blue Deluge (ie. 2/3rd majority in both houses) that sunk Trump and his Republicult so bad that they'd never come back from it the same if at all as the ultimate karmic comeuppance for the decades of corruption they've peddled. It's disgusting that a convict is President of the US but even worse is all the parasitical billionaires that are marching in his wake and those people are more dangerous because those are his enablers that do the long term damage. If those kinds of bastards aren't reigned in then the only way I can see this going is down a very dark path and a bloody one to boot. History has shown what happens when those are unfit to wield power abuse it constantly and it never ends well.
All those companies that didn't give Christmas bonuses to boost their stock in response to the possibility of tariffs are winning right now.
