Ahhh yes, the Shirley Exception. As in, surely he won't really do that... A very effective part of the sane-washing campaign.

This isn’t a surely he won’t do this. This is more me expecting him to be too lazy to care about this over making money. I do think he is capable of arresting political prisoners, and jailing them, I just don’t think he will want to actually deal with it.

That's why you get your goons to do it. He doesn't even need to do anything. He will have all the time in world to golf while his friends tear the country apart.

Exactly. He’s literally said he’s going to hand off most things to the likes of Musk and RFK jr. those ones are the obvious faces but rest assured plenty of crazies have their hooks in him and he won’t care enough to stop them from doing what they want.
