All they need to do is decide they are above the law and ignore the courts. That's the plan, and has probably been the plan since 1974. They're dipping their toes in the water, gauging responses, and trying to find out whether or not they even need a Reichstag Fire to pull it off, and the end game is "goodbye courts", which means they do whatever they want.
Speaker Mike Johnson saying that openly is definitely putting out feelers, but also a "bend the knee to Trump or else" threat to the courts and judges who are actually doing their jobs by blocking Trump's illegal actions.

Lol, Hegseth and Mike Waltz and Tulsi Gabbard, etc.. should all be fired and lucky they're not put in prison. F#cking unbelievable.
Republicans control the White House, Supreme Court, Senate and House of Reps and they've largely decided that it's 'much to do about nothing', so nothing will come of this, when it's corruption and incompetence from start to finish.
The best you can hope for is one less important sacrificial lamb gets reprimanded somehow, but that would be Trump admitting that his cronyism pick of Pete Hegseth was a bad idea, so likely won't happen.
Most respondents decried the uncertainty and higher costs from his tariffs, while others said plans to sharply lower crude prices are incompatible with a major expansion in energy production.
“The administration’s chaos is a disaster for the commodity markets. ‘Drill, baby, drill’ is nothing short of a myth and populist rallying cry. Tariff policy is impossible for us to predict and doesn’t have a clear goal. We want more stability,” one executive said. -snip
You don't say?
These morons backed Trump I'm sure, now US oil production is going to take a massive hit, while prices skyrocket.
Saudi Arabia (and buddies will follow) will lower or raise their flow to keep the price of a barrel at what they want, we saw it when US oil production increased under Biden.
Watch this lead to Russia suddenly becoming the US' biggest oil importer, while Canada goes "but, eh?" Which will mean the price of a gallon will go up for Americans, not down.
Holy crap! Trump is FINALLY being held accountable for his actions:

Tomorrow is Trump's 'liberation day', where Americans will have the liberty to pay more for food and everyday items.This is of course if Trump actually goes through with it in full, as he's claimed multiple times before and then tucked tail like a little orange sissy.
^Correction, tomorrow 4/2/25 is "liberation day", assuming Trump goes through with it and doesn't bravely run away again.
