Well, this will be a real test of whether the "checks & balances" of power we all learned about in HS Civics classes that are supposed to stop Dictators from taking power over Da Goobermint will work. If Der Trumper is successful with his purge at the FBI and Justice Dept and the courts don't step in, we have a full on Dictatorship. The FBI will be nothing more than the Gestapo filled with Thugs who do his bidding. Look also for a purge at the IRS of anyone looking into his tax history.
Besides the courts, somebody in CONgress needs to step up and file articles of Impeachment for the blatantly unconstitutional way he is taking over the "power of the purse" from the legislative branch. "Constitutional Crisis" barely covers what is going on here. At this point, we would be better off having a Military Coup d'Etat to get him out of the White House before he completely destroys the global financial system.
With Trump and Musk we have 2 complete Megalomaniacs running the country the way they ran their companies. All employees are answerable only to them, and if you don't toe the line, you're fired.
This is truly the crossroads for the Amerikan Political system. If he gets away with this, we'll soon have concentration camps for the homeless and mass deportations of anyone perceived as being "anti-Amerikan". Look for a Mcarthy era style purge of communists as well.
This also could very well kick off Civil War with an impeachment trial. MAGA folks will support Der Fuehrer no matter what. I can easily see these folks turning into the kind of Brown Shirts Hitler used to terrorize the rest of the population.
This is going to get ugly. Well, uglier. It's already pretty ugly at the Justice dept.
