Trump Plays Judge, Jury, and Executioner in Consumer Safety Fiasco
By Vixen Vile, Published 13 hours ago
Ah, the Donald has a new trick up his sleeve, or should I say, under his MAGA hat? The man who once boasted about grabbing power by any means necessary is now taking a sledgehammer to democracy, one commission at a time. President Trump, in his infinite wisdom, decided to play a game of political hot potato with the Consumer Product Safety Commission by firing three Democrats. Because, you know, who needs consumer safety when you have unchecked executive power?
But wait, there's a plot twist! A federal judge, clearly not in on the memo that Trump's word is law, had the audacity to reinstate these brave defenders of toasters, cribs, and bicycle helmets. Shocking, I know. Now, the Supreme Court has been summoned, not to interpret the law, but to play referee in this kindergarten spat. Will they indulge Trump's tantrum or uphold the sanctity of a democratic process?
Here we are, watching in a mixture of horror and amusement as the President, who's allergic to checks and balances, tries to dismantle a commission meant to keep our homes safe. If this is his idea of 'draining the swamp', I shudder to think what might come next. Perhaps he'll take a crack at the FDA next because, why stop at consumer safety when you can meddle with our food and medicine too?
