No. Not good. The constitution applies to EVERYONE here. It doesn't give a flying fuck about citizenship.

Dow drops 1,200 points and global markets tumble as worries deepen about the economic impact of President Trumps trade war.

MarketWatch:
Wall Streets ‘fear gauge’ soars to a ‘crisis’ level. That’s very unusual.

AP:
Two board members fired by President Trump can go back to their jobs, an appeals court rules in a case likely headed for the Supreme Court.

One board member was on the National Labor Relations Board and the other was on the Merit Systems Protection Board. The case is likely to test whether a 90 year old Supreme Court decision conservatives dislike immensely will stand as precedent or not. It says Presidents cannot fire independent government board members without cause. The Supreme Court may get rid of that.

Add in here that he wants the 50% tariffs by Wednesday if China doesn’t back off its retaliatory tariffs.
