Yeah it's getting fucked pretty quick. Congress has also ceded most of it's power to Trump.
This analysis seems accurate enough, as to how astonishingly incoherent, yet robust (at least in the short-term) the Trump regime is.

What strikes me is that one problem is that to actively try to prise apart Trump's coalition would require the opposition to embrace contradictions of its own, risking importing the same internal conflicts that are are present in Trumpism.
E.g. to draw away nativists and social-conservatives unhappy at the upward redistribution of wealth that Musk's branch of MAGA are pushing, would require at least some element of pandering to their social-conservatism.
It’s ‘Maganomics’: Trump’s brash economic strategy is likely to end in crash or crisis | Jonathan Portes
Large tax cuts for the rich, import tariffs, and the competing interests of Republican nationalists and the techno-right is a dangerous combination, says economist Jonathan Portes

Oh this is just pathetic...
As the Office of Personnel Management oversaw the layoffs of thousands of federal workers and pressed others to justify their positions, the agency’s chief spokesperson repeatedly used her office for a side hustle: aspiring Instagram fashion influencer.

This is the Curtis Yarvin playbook.
Corporate-run monarchy. Looks like they are getting a jumpstart on it. Start with small, "test" cities, then quickly nationalize it.
If corporations are "people," as per Citizens United, then certainly corporations can run for office and be President, no? This is our near future.

Why do you think they are attempting to fire half of the federal workers. Creating desparate people who will accept shitty wages to survive. Folks, they want nothing but a renter class from here on out. Modern feudalism.Tech Execs Are Pushing Trump to Build 'Freedom Cities' Run by Corporations

Why? Trump administration already gutted consumer protection agency et all... There isn't much federal protection left for consumers.

Using an ethnicity as an insult while simultaneously implying Trump is the arbiter of Jewishness.
Trump condemned for using ‘Palestinian’ as slur to attack Schumer

Seems as illegal as this executive order was:
(btw doj basically said as their argument to the judge he's the president so we can trust his judgement what makes sense ... )
Obviously Trump should be deported for being anti semitic.This is messed-up on multiple levels
