The problem with what trump is doing is that it's illegal.
Whether it's popular or not is beside the point.
Or, well, it should be. The fact that it isn't only underscores the problem

This post will generate angry responses, insults. etc. But important info here. Outside the coasts/Beltway, it appears that SOME of what Trump is doing is generating support, is popular with his base. Politically complicates situation for Dems too. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...
CBS News poll — Trump has positive approval amid "energetic" opening weeks; seen as doing what he promised
Trump's deportation plans are popular, but Americans say there's not enough focus on lowering prices.

I'm one of the lefties who said that you should vote for the easier enemy (Harris) because Trump would be way worse on Palestine.
I guess that earns me the right to say: anyone now blaming powerless and horrified voters who couldn't support genocide are disgusting

We still are trying to sort out how much China abused a backdoor in our wiretap systems (Trump fired the team investigating it) and now we've just opened up a massive new backdoor to the entire payment system of the United States
What could go wrong?

This is a backdoor. Elon's coders are creating a backdoor into the US Treasury. This is incredibly dangerous both because of its intended use (by Elon and Trump) and the risk of other actors exploiting a major security vulnerability to cause a massive disruption to the US government.
