no, even he's not dumb enough to try, but even so, he'd never get far enough to do any real damage. the courts would quickly strike down such obvious abuses of power. the framers were smart enough to anticipate someone like trump (more like nixon, but trump is a poor man's nixon). he also doesn't have the stamina or self-control to follow through before he'd be right back on twitter preaching to his choir. he's too addicted to the instant validation he gets from it.
the massive federal bureaucracies don't turn on a dime and are still running fine (we have food, power, water, commerce, justice, etc.), despite trump's paranoia around having anyone around him stealing his limelight, including competent cabinet members and heads of other federal agencies. hopefully these next few months are the final season of reality tv government here.

- clairity 6y agoyeah, the plot thickens on this week’s episode as our protagonist tries desperately to not get kicked off the island and lose his conch of invincibility, even though we all know he especially deserves it. it’s a small squeak though, unlikely to last more than a news cycle. he just loves the twitter limelight too much, loves being a bully, and really needs the media distracted on him for the next 6 months. we’ll get a bunch of these tirades as he tries every outrage to see what sticks with the media and keeps that sweet camera lens on him.
