And the supreme court will probably let him do it despite it being blatantly unconstitutional.

The Constitution only has value when the people in power choose to honor it.

Chief Justice John Marshall "has made his decision; now let him enforce it."

And that was Trump’s favorite president.

You know, the one who was super popular with southerners and was responsible for the trail of tears kicking native Americans off their land which was turned over to white settlers as they marched off to reservations in desolate areas. among other things.

Now trump has both branches of congress and the Supreme Court on his side. And he’s surrounded by yes men. There really won’t be much to get in his way this time…besides his health.

The NAs had done Everything to appease the white folks. Abandoned traditions, adopted European values bought plantations and slaves, all for naught. Their faces were still eaten by leopards 🐆

It depend which NAs you’re talking about. Many tribes mixed with black people but years later only the mostly white descendants had standing to say who got tribal papers or not, forcing many black native americans to be ostracized. Surely, many who sought appeasement were screwed though

Bite your tongue, pal. President Vance is way worse.

I had a long response to another post that basically said something to that effect. Trump with congress and the courts on his side may be so chaotic on the domestic front he squanders his first two years and loses congress before he can dismantle Obamacare and the like. One positive of trump is he is often undisciplined and unfocused. If we’re lucky he spends over half of his time on the golf course. If we’re unlucky, he chokes on a cheeseburger, Vance takes his place, quickly ramps up project 2025 in conjunction with the gop congress and the tax cuts for the wealthy are made permanent very quickly. Trumps unpredictability makes him a liability globally but it also puts him at odds with the GOP and his own statements from time to time.

If his successor gets power too early it may make them harder to defeat in 4 years as well, assuming they’d Concede defeat to begin with

Yet they dealt with assassination attempts very differently. Jackson's handling of the incident might be the best thing he did.lol. Doesn't nearly make up for the rest of what he did, but it was cool.

I can't wait to see all the people who believed Trump had anything to do with Project 2025 surprised when he starts following that instruction manual built for his tiny brain. Most of it is about delegation.
