This will get struck down in court, and then Trump will do it anyway.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

All the court cases are part of the strategy.
Force the Left to spend money to fight in court, while the taxpayers foot the bill for Donnie's lawyers.
It makes us weary, and drains out wallets.
Yeah, there's a name for it. But I forget what it is. The intention is to make the courts look illegitimate and biased when they rule against them. Only works on idiots, but, well, here we are.
Yeah, there's a name for it. But I forget what it is.
"Schlock and aaaauuuuughhhhhhh"?
at some point he will require that they have his portrait hanging in their homes
dictators always do
Out of the North Korea play book
Are you trying to say, you don't have the Führer's portrait on your wall? Sturmabteilung! Arrest this filthy traitor!
Sort of already a thing, at least in DoD workplaces, sadly.
I had to pass through US customs on my way home (layover in JFK). Bastards have portraits of Trump and Noem on the fucking wall.
They always have photos of the current President up. That's every federal building. State buildings will have your governor.
That's horrible! You guys need to cut the personality cults out.
Yep... On the state level, it might actually depend on the governor as to whether or not they have to display them. Not sure.
So the only qualification is enthusiastic, unquestioning loyalty to the stupidest man in the USA and his fascist program. Education and thinking will count against you. That checks out when you look at the people already working for him.
If I end up working for the federal government, I'll just have AI writing all my stupid shit for that. Don't have to compromise my values if I didn't write it, right?
Ah, so cop qualifications
There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science. When we are omnipotent we shall have no more need of science. There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always -- do not forget this, Winston -- always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- for ever.'
…
And remember that it is for ever. The face will always be there to be stamped upon. The heretic, the enemy of society, will always be there, so that he can be defeated and humiliated over again. Everything that you have undergone since you have been in our hands -- all that will continue, and worse. The espionage, the betrayals, the arrests, the tortures, the executions, the disappearances will never cease. It will be a world of terror as much as a world of triumph. The more the Party is powerful, the less it will be tolerant: the weaker the opposition, the tighter the despotism.
we can write under ever post about trump: dumb narcissistic wannabe dictator
I’m pretty sure we’ve passed the wannabe phase and entered full blown.
fascism in progress
Jesus fucking Christ.
It also requires essays on applicants' commitment to upholding the Constitution, furthering government efficiency, and maintaining a strong work ethic.
As though it's remotely possible to support both Trump and the constitution.
So praising Trump's Executive Orders is supposed to show merit somehow?
Yes, unlike having a college degree in the field you are applying to
What a demented rapist clown. He's absolutely off his goddamned rocker.
I'd like to say I'm shocked, but I'm not. Latest thing in a long line of stupid shit
If I was in a position where I could work for the government at all, I'd take the job, swear whatever they wanted me to, then make sure I hurt them as badly as possible. After all, they swore to uphold the constitution, didn't they?
He’s turning America into North Korea.
Pathetic.
Doubleplus good
That must be the hiring based on qualification initiative that the DEI haters were ranting about.
When does the Pol Pot turn come and he starts executing people for wearing glasses?
Totally normal presidential behavior.
Anytime I see him doing that fucking dance I just think of the end of Hereditary.
It will make it more efficient because there is no need to consult decisions when all your minions will say yes.
Say the allegiance!
Do I have to?
Yes!
I pledge allegiance to Trump of the United Corporations of the world and to the corporations for which they stand one world nation under Trump with trickle down economics for all.
