Now what?

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Wait, trade agreements signed with the Trumpian banana republic have no value?
I'm shocked!  :D

I think Trump has really exposed flaws in democracy.  I'm not even sure what the fixes are, but it's really alarming how a populist movement can just ignore everything and plow ahead with whatever they want to do.

I mean at what point does the court decision overrule him?

The weird thing is is that FDR, who had won an election with 61% of the vote and 46 out of 48 states and whose party controlled 334 out of 435 House Seats and 75 out of 96 Senate Seats did not have this authority. He was consistently thwarted by the Courts for his policies, leading to his unsuccessful court packing scheme.

But somehow Donald Trump, who won less than 50% of the vote and has a tiny margin in both the House and Senate is viewed as so dangerously popular that nobody does shit. The courts were perfectly fine challenging Roosevelt, but too chicken shit to do anything about Trump.

Wild. One would think a dangerous populist movement that has everybody trembling would, you know, be popular at least.

Populism, especially in US context, is there to obscure the real culprit. Money.

"But I didn't vote for him"; they cried.

Trump has the majority support of billionaire dollars, and that's the majority support that counts.

Yeah but his main brand is allegedly about fighting for blue collar workers.  Predictable irony.

Yeah, but he doesn't need to improve their situation as long as he keeps going after people they don't like.
