And that’s basically it!
the tariffs that, again, the courts already ruled were unconstitutional. Trump doesn't have the authority to levy taxes/tariffs. And yet, he keeps ordering tariffs around for bullshit national security reasons.
I cannot understand why Trump just says "Do these things that break the law" and everyone just fucking does it.
I was actually shocked that he didn't just coerce everyone into halting birthright citizenship
I mean, didnt he? He just put out an executive order to attack birthright citizenship immediately after and in response to the supreme court upholding that its a constitutional right. He doesnt give af what courts say, or the law says.
Because all the pedo-enablers are currently in power because they entertain the pedo president, specifically. Hence they do whatever he says because that's how they stay in power. You can see from some recent movement in the Reps that they do know they need to offboard at the right moment, and they're starting to prepare for that, but right now it's how they stay in power.
And, it adds that since Trump is constantly extracting the money of american taxpayers for his personal wealth via the control the presidency gives him, this system enables Republicans to largely get away with the same thing, hence they probably not only gain power but also massive wealth from it.
The POTUS has no power to levy taxes without an act of congress.
There are a bunch of acts of.congress that give discretionary power to the POTUS for certain specific taxes in response to certain international actions.
Here's a plausible sounding website found from a quick web search.
