Trump threatens to 'destroy' the country. Can you say "25th Amendment?" Oh, never mind, THE KARDASHIANS are on! GO KIM!

"Did Donald Trump just openly defy the court’s decision?! He will now impose tariffs by other statutory means," wrote Princeton University professor Eddie Glaude.

"He's having a mental breakdown over this," said Chronicles writer Pedro Gonzalez.

"Dude is screaming 'I'm allowed to destroy the country' in a ramble about tariffs," wrote conspiracy theory expert Mike Rothschild. "He's absolutely cooked, but they need him to stay in office another 11 months, or JD Vance's campaign is DOA."

"What's amazing about Trump is that if you created a fictional character with as little subtext as him, they'd get rejected for being too cartoonishly unrealistic," wrote YouTuber Velodus. "'You can't just have him say he's allowed to destroy the country, that's too on the nose,' your editor would say."
