I dont think its the kind of thing that can be done via executive order. But it sure is entertaining.
All the "keep the government out of the free market economy" bullshit from the last 30 years is proving to be just that. Its almost as delicious as when they preach about family values.
Given that MAGA now owns the courts (and the entire government), I doubt that there's anything that Trump CAN'T do by executive order. Anybody who challenges one of his orders will lose in court, be targeted as one of Trump's "enemies," and maybe get their family attacked by irate Trump goobers.
One thing Democrats are being foolishly naive about is their belief that any of the so-called "checks and balances" are functional. They're not. The Turd has absolute power. He can be evaded (thanks to his sloth and stupidity) but not directly challenged.
It appears now that Trump is trying to cook up a way whereby TikTok would be allowed to continue to operate, by stuffing several hundred million directly into Trump's pocket. Stay tuned.
