Since Congress declined to impeach&convict Trump at the end of his first term for his involvement in the Jan 6th insurrection there is nothing they will do against him for anything imaginable during this second term.

That is not hyperbole. If Trump walked right into the House of Representatives and shot Mike Johnson in the head on live television he would not be impeached. FoxNews would spin it like it was one of those classic political duels like in Hamilton. Everyone loves Hamilton, right?

I will probably get a content warning for that example, but I am literally saying the worst thing I could imagine him doing, and it would not get him impeached after congress dropped the ball on Jan6th.

Jan6th was tangible and obvious. And Trump got away with it. And then Trump was reelected. And now here we are, with congress powerless to stand up to him.

Congress declined to impeach&convict Trump

Over half of cingress did vote to impeach.

Every democrat and some republicans did vote to impeach.

The overwhelming majority of republicans voted not to.

Blaming Congress, is t wring, but it is far more AC irate to call out the group who specifically gave his actions a pass. Republican lawmakers.

This comments seems like a tangent? The article is about a potential major questions case at the Supreme Court. Theoretically it can be brought by anyone affected by tariffs.
