Following it now. Trying to understand as an Indian, what's going on in US is exhausting. I can't imagine what US citizens are feeling. I mean those who didn't vote for Trump.

If it's true that the law suits will come by the dozens because Americans will fight for their rights and what's right, it's going to be the tax payers money going into litigation costs. Has Trump thought this through or is he playing another game altogether?

We have seen in tv/movies that Americans file law suits all the time. I always thought that arbitrary authoritarian actions like we saw in India can't happen in USA because people have rights, they care about fighting for rights, and there's rule of law and access to justice.

Is it just the movies?

Trump's actions taken without due process are bound to have repercussions on hundreds of contractual obligations across world and affected people will all have a ground to sue for compensation.

If they do, won't they go to court challenging Trump?

👉 Essentially, Donald Trump is inviting law suits at every action he is taking. Shutting down websites, not allowing people to access their emails, hundreds of research paper and data deleted from govt census website.

👉 Hundreds of employees have reportedly lost their jobs across various departments including govt watchdogs or nonpartisan Inspectors General and thousands of FBI officials.

Don't they have things like Tenure or other statutory protection from arbitrary/illegal removal?

Govt in every country is so scared of social media. What a shame. Since invention of printing press a nexus of power and media controlled the narrative. Internet gave the masses a voice for the 1st time. Even if there's fake and hate speech but we still need internet free from govt control.
