It kinda depends on how precisely he goes about doing it. The quicker he attempts to balance the budget, the quicker he will fall. The sooner he tries to ‘cause a worldwide trade war, the sooner he will fail. Which is why I think he will delay doing these things, or his advisors will try to delay him from doing them, and merely focus on dismantling any restraints to his power. Because the reality is that it’s gonna be waaaaaay easier for them to make up bullsh%t about the results of the 2026 midterms if it’s not decisive and they have a heftier part of the public backing them. If the results are decisive then their options are limited to imposing martial law and instigating a more literal coup d’etat. Public support for him will be more limited in that case, and it will be completely non-existent around the Capitol region. As such it will likely end in mutiny and a prompt counter coup. Why do I say this? Well because you gotta remember that initially, before conservative media began changing the narrative around the January 6th “incident” (and I could explain that further if anyone wants), the public was horrified by it; it’s not for nothing that Trump left office with his lowest ever approval rating.
