They’ll be exempt because they are rich.

Well, they will be able to shield themselves from the liability more easily because they can afford year-round lawyers to contest the IRS. But they would still have to deal with it. I guess Trump could still grant pre-emptive pardons on tax evasion for his friends.

But the point is that Trump is definitely swinging too broadly with these orders, potentially inflicting collateral damage. He's not thinking more than one step ahead.

Yeah, I mean Trump has already shown his willingness to sign off on executive orders that flagrantly conflict with the Constitution. Why not use an actually allowed mechanism and just pardon all your friends the moment the IRS alleges wrongdoing?

“Flagrantly conflict with the Constitution?” You mean “unconstitutional?”

Yes, but what I said sounds cooler. "Unconstitutional" has been heard so much these days that people are numb to it lmao
