Consider North Korea...most of the planet thought there was NO WAY Trump could neutralize them. And here we are. There are rumors that we caused an explosion that wiped out a large number of their scientists...in a manner whereby we let Rocket Man know he will sleep with fishes if he doesn't wise up.
Trump is from Queens and worked in construction. He's not a Bushie or a community organizer. I'm sure he's dealt with some tough hombres.
So, consider this possibility...Trump does his homework and calls Chief Justice Roberts to the WH. After some chit chat Trump clears the room and tells the CJ:
listen, I understand there may be a situation in your life that the prior Administration used to, let's just say, make you an offer you couldn't refuse. Now, I'm not one to judge...look at my life! But I am not very happy with this Deep State arrangement that continues to hurt the American people. I believe I have found a way to neutralize this arrangement in a way where nobody gets hurt, your situation remains a private matter, and you can freely adjudicate matters in line with what your pre-confirmation history suggested you would...no more Obamacare pretzel logic required.
Yours would be the best solution!
Well played!
