Wouldn’t this have to go through Congress though? If Trump can’t do it through executive order, it’s likely that it’ll never happen.

Something ridiculous like EO to put his face on the $100 bill, but it never actually happens.

My money is he will announce a massive tax cut on the middle class, with the premise being all the tariff revenue they are getting is funding it.

What is wild is the announcement will be enough for his supporters. It's totally unpredictable if there actually will be a future tax cut, but for 40% of the US Voting public they will repeat that there has been.

And when they finally notice their tax bill is the same and look for someone to blame it on, gop will be there to blame it on dei, immigrants, trans people and the dems.

I realize this is a stupid question but has the Republican hatred for all things DEI actually been laid out? I assume it's that they've conflated it with affirmative action and therefore hate it. I know the real answer is as simple as white supremacy but have they even tried to put lipstick on this pig? I can't for the life of me find a legitimate beef with the concept of DEI at all.

Just another grievance with literally anything that doesn't put Straight White Christian Men first.

They are arguing that they violate anti-discrimination laws.

The US government has ordered the Swedish city of Stockholm to end its diversity, inclusivity and equality (DEI) programmes within 10 days. The city authorities say the demand is "bizarre" and they won't be complying.

It's kind of like Alberta... they're great and rich and strong but also everyone is mean and unfair to them.
