5. Yeah, faster. By judicial standards, anyway.

So maybe 6 months? I don't think it's yet at the point where courts issue injunctions ordering that donnie tariff edicts be flat out ignored.

Point is he can do damage and exert power and the courts only stop him "eventually". In the meanwhile, he establishes his power: do as I say or I will f with your business or your industry or your country. We've seen the media cave and pay him off even with solid legal cases because the hassle of litigation and the threat of Donnie doing other (possibly illegal) crap is enough for him to get his way.

The fact that a court will eventually stop him doesn't keep him from abusing power to gain power, grift, and wreck stuff.
