Australian 🇦🇺 I can’t understand how 1 man can single-handily do this to USA. Where are the congress & senate in all this?

The Republicans are subservient and complicit. They are too afraid of the violence of the MAGA mob to cross Trump.

Also, as I understand it (not an American but I have been paying attention) the only thing that can stop an Executive Order is the courts. Congress could, I suppose, pass a law making what he did illegal and then the courts could do something? I don’t know. If it violates the constitution or any existing laws, then the courts could decide to stop it. It could take a long time, though.

I have heard that the auto plants will shut down within days—in all three countries of the USMCA—, so the damage done will not be reparable.
