The Trump administration is threatening to all but shut down the Social Security Administration in response to a judge’s ruling blocking activities by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency — an action that could delay payments to millions of beneficiaries caught in the middle of the legal battle.
The problem is that I think when it comes to protestors Trump will demand wartime powers entirely illegally that he uses as he sees fit. As a demonstration of his power - he might use military to kill and injure protestors before the GOP justices even give their ruling. The show of force would be for their benefit too. They are the only thing stopping him from having no limits at all.
