    Can’t he expel N.Carolina from the US? Win-win situation it would be.

      Getting rid of NC before SC? That’s an odd choice. Both political and economic.

        He needs to keep the swamp around, so he can drain it, right?

        In my mind, Yoda is now inexorably linked with seagulls.

      Please do, I’d rather deal with our corrupt state legislature than this asshole.

        Never say never, he pretty much does whatever he wants without consequences.

          He says and does whatever he wants with the executive branch, which has been terrible, but kicking a state out of the union is definitely outside of his control

            You’re only almost certainly correct.

            The thing about laws is that they work until they don’t.

            It is conceivable that one or more states might want to leave the union and that Trump supported their withdrawal, and somehow that led to people just not enforcing laws and effectively letting them go.

            If you think back to the dissolution of the USSR, that’s kinda what happened there, albeit completely differently. It just… sorta happened, because conditions were ripe for it.

            I’m not predicting that here in the slightest, just saying that things Can Never Change… until the sometimes suddenly do.

            So you are… only almost certainly correct.
