Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order expanding presidential control over independent agencies, including the FTC, FCC, and SEC.
The order enforces the “unitary executive theory,” which argues the president has sole authority over the executive branch. It grants Trump’s budget chief, Russell Vought, oversight of these agencies’ performance and budgets.
The move is expected to face legal challenges, as past presidents have largely respected agency independence.
Trump defended the order, stating, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”
Trump voters in my area of the country are still extremely happy with what Trump and Musk are doing. When Trump eventually invests all of social security in his meme coin they will probably be thrilled with that too.
Once they get what they want and there’s no more gay, brown, women, or other religions, it will devolve into a contest of who is MAGA enough.
You’re not blonde enough. You need more flag flair pins. You don’t have the mandatory 5 trump posters, only 4. It never ends, there always needs to be an out group no matter what.
I had a guy accuse me of racism at work, even tho we’re both white, because I wasn’t “anglo Saxon enough” to be the same kind of white as him…
Like, I’m English/German ancestry, literally what the term Anglo-Saxon describes…
He was French ancestry which would make him Norman, the ones fighting Anglo Saxons…
There’s no logic to what they say or do, they hear a label is “us” and another label is “them” and they just go with it, never actually asking themselves what the terms mean and who actually fits under each label.
Shit broke my brain when he said it
