Incredibly chilling and clear-eyed piece from @frank-bowman.bsky.social spelling out the implications of Trump’s latest executive orders—which, stripped of their muddled legalese, essentially anoint him as a monarch with absolute power. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/02/king-donald-trump-terrifying-executive-order.html

This is about a president's Constitutional powers. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_executive_theory
In that light this doesn't bother me. We need it. Trump is not the bear, the American public is the bear...and Trump/Musk keep poking it.
I do believe it will wake up at some point and eat Trump...and Musk.

1. Constitutional
2. If not, then Approved in Congress (both Houses)
3. Cannot compel State Governors or Governments
You can declare yourself anything in the USA, but to make it real, you have to overturn The State & the States
Even if Congress won’t act, States will. They’re not about to accept a King.
What does he do then, he’s a King with no kingdom.
When accused of treason, he said “If this be treason, make the most of it.”
trump'll get his crown but he won't wear it long.
They'll use his base & his congressional/judicial enablers to build the throne, then trumpty dumpty will have a great fall ... & they'll sit jd doody on that big golden chair.
