This is a warning shot to anyone trying to save an agency or institution that Trump-Musk-DOGE illegally try to close: "if you save it, we'll make you wish you hadn't."
This "golly, let's not let politics get in the way of friendship" pap that we hear from a lot of Trumpistas is basically a kind of gaslighting, as though burning down the constitutional order & kidnapping people to ship to gulags were just another ordinary policy disagreement.

Right wing thinking on this is that thereβs no consequential difference between the President using tools to influence CBS into canceling the Late Show and all of the various cancelations that happened under βWokeness.β No difference between Colbert and Roseanne, for example.
