Trump bid to expand power comes before Supreme Court Independent regulatory agencies like the FDA and FTC would become more political tools for a power-hungry Trump. It would replace them with political appointees subject to the whims of whoever is in the White House and destabilize the stability of the capitalistic system that had been the envy of the world. Dependable policies are needed for any long-term planning in making decisions. Furthermore, any protections of consumer rights will be gone with the wind if the rich and powerful self-interested are in power in the short term.
This would destroy any vestige of a government that rules on the facts and the purposes for which Congress set them up. It gives more power to dictator Trump to get revenge on enemies and favor his supporters. The president would now gain absolute control of any agency that dares to favor consumers, the environment. The only antidote is regime change in 2028 so the partisans from the left can get their way if they gain the White House. What goes around will come around. We will be dealing with a pro-Trump Supreme Court for a very long time unless Congress expands it, which I favor as the only way out of a Supreme Court sanctioned dictatorship.
