Wondering the same question.
How can he put a plan from paper to action, if it doesn't go in the hands of the Congress first ?

How can he put a plan from paper to action, if it doesn't go in the hands of the Congress first ?
Others have answered this question in more depth; in short, Congress abdicated its responsibility and authority and must now reclaim it.
Cash. Should have sold every stock/401k I had the day before a certain person took charge. I'd have lost nothing.
Will any of these tech stocks ever fully recover...no guarantees in life. I've seen many many stocks end up at $0.
I use Qobuz. The sound quality is very good. It’s cheaper to subscribe directly on their website than it is to subscribe via the app on iOS.
If you haven’t sold yet, then technically you haven’t lost anything
Congress is made up of a majority of Trump Loyalists. They will follow him off a cliff.
Democrats have no power - as they're the minority. Enough republicans need to step up and stop him. Wonder what it will take?
Tell us you skipped Civics class without telling us you skipped Civics class.
If you think things look bullish right now, I know this bridge..
I have never been a fan of the offshoring, though I accept the economic reality of it. I think Tim Cook's biggest mistake has been to bank on China. As a long time stockholder, I even petitioned and got to ask a question at an investor session about it and I got a long non-answer that essentially dismissed the concern. Apple had no desire to diversify sourcing then. I suspect Apple gets some favorable treatment from China by keeping manufacturing in China, but that has never been disclosed. But exactly for global issues and regional issues it is irresponsible to bank on one separate nation. Apple should have spent the last decade spreading manufacturing among China, India, Vietnam, Brazil, even Mexico or African and South American nations. No one product should ever be made in one place, so when there is some incident or condition, sourcing can be shifted easily.
I am reminded of the scene in Godfather with Fredo talking about Cuba. "It is like another state!" Fredo says. "But it is NOT another state." says Michael. China asserted itself similarly. And when there is global aggression, be it tariffs or Taiwan or the South China Sea or anything else, China is going to be about China. Any country is going to be about that country, and Apple (and anyone else) should have the built-in flex to adapt quickly. Yeah I wish MacBook Airs were made in Alabama, but we do have to accept reality even if forced on us.

I appreciate the snark, but California is in worse shape than the US at large. The state is a cesspool and train wreck. (And I have been here for 32 years and have two businesses, one of which will be moving in a couple of months.)
Apple should relocate to Nevada. California based public corporations are now on the cusp of a breach of fiduciary duty.
Nope.Actually that’s not true. Trump in his first term contributed over $7trilion to the national debt, more than Obama and only slightly less than Biden.
This article has a chart of all the Presidents who have contributed the most to the national debt.
U.S. Debt by President: Dollar and Percentage
The national debt has increased under most U.S. presidents. Here is how much each president's time in office added to the U.S. debt by percentage and dollar amounts.www.investopedia.com
Joe Biden is responsible for almost half of the national debt accumulated over the entire history of the United States. As Vice President, Obama-Biden added $10.4 TRILLION to the national debt. As President, Joe Biden added about $5.6 TRILLION (though the final figure could end up being as high as $6.6 TRILLION). The national debt right now is $36.2 TRILLION. So do the math: (10.4+5.6)/36.2 = 0.442. That means 44% of the entire debt of the United States was amassed under just one person, Joe Biden. In just 12 years as an executive. And in his previous incarnation as a Senator, he never once voted for or advocated anything that would deal with the debt.
Remember that Democrats were demanding an additional 3.6 trillion over what was passed for in panic COVID spending from May 2020-October 2020 they did not get. Not one dollar of the two major expenditures the Feds made during his term were paid for at all and went straight to t-bill auctions. The US was not alone, but socially and economically and scientifically we reacted not just badly but often times wrongly in repose. And no one wants to talk about it honestly because Covid was one of those situations that politicians and disciples hate - at one point everyone was wrong, and at one point everyone was right about something that had to do with the entire chapter.
And now, curiously, we have the Democrats actively trying to impede or stop an elementary adult of the Federal books so we can reformulate our deeply broken financial models and processes. It is as if they want things to get worse. We spend more in interest annually than we do defense. The Ai-based audit uses tech that did not exist just three years ago, and the payment and tracking systems have been purposely baked for over a generation to prevent any human audit and understanding. It was done by design. And then the Feds have not done the Constitutionally-required audit since 1953 when Eisenhower warned to the fiscal foibles (that was part of his Military-Industrial Complex warning).
This should not be a Left-Right or Dem-GOP issue as it deeply affects everyone. People should be upset they didn't know where the money was going for the last 50+ years. The Pentagon alone can't find 6 trillion from the last 25 years or so.
And just to anticipate the usual report... yes, a public audit is required by the Constitution. It has just been ignored by all parties which I think is unforgivable.
- Article I, Section 9, Clause 7:
"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time".

Trump is literally being sued for sending immigrants to el salvador prisons without due process. It should feel like all our rights are taken away when due process is on the table.
It is a mantra without an example.
Nope, illegal immigrants and visas do not follow the criminal justice due process. Visas can be revoked at any time for any - or no - reason. Green Cards are visas. And people without valid visas can be removed from the country summarily. So when there is criminal activity and they fall into custodial situations or gain LEO notice they can be wrapped up and returned to the country of origin. The ones removed to El Salvador are being held and sentenced due to El Salvadorian law and are not subcontractors to US whims. We just handed them their own criminals who had illegally entered the US. For four years we just had an Administration that thought flooding the country with illegals was somehow a virtue and refused to follow the law even when one of their favorite catchphrases was "no one is above the law!"
That is not violating due process. If you think it is can you please tell me exactly what process is being violated?
You can sue for anything, doesn’t make it illegal or make a right taken away.
He can’t. He thinks because someone is trying to sue him, that makes it illegal or without due process.
As I said, you can sue for anything.
immigrants get due process too. i know it may be shocking. the constitution actually protects most people living under the jurisdiction of the united states.
by the way it's a farcry to "revoke a visa" vs "sending you to an el Salvador prison"
he's going to lose the cases. sorry to hurt your feelings.
"It should feel like..." is entirely a political whine and not reality.
No ones rights have been taken away.
Invalid visas, expired visas, no visas, fraudulently obtained visas are all subject to summary expulsion. The forms recipients fill out make that very clear. The student revocations are not for first amendment actions but for violence, threats, supporting terror groups or the physical actions that were taken and televised. Visa holders do not have to be rung up on charges to have a visa revoked, which can be done summarily by the State Department. I am not sure what due process you claim is being voided. Can you detail please?
I can assure you, I’ll be just fine. I never said I agreed or disagreed with it. Just pointing out it’s not illegal.
It was deemed illegal ("wholly lawless") by the federal judge.
The strategy for the current regime is to deport illegally and then claim, "we can't get him back because it's out of our control."
