Well of course not. In the Star Trek universe he'd just be dead, and then they'd have to come up with a convoluted technobabble way to fix that.

I wish Star Trek solved that kinda thing with technobabble. Instead what usually happens is some kind of god shows up and does something impossible, and everyone's like "Hmm yes the universe sure has mysteries" instead of realizing their science-based setting is ruined now.

Adherence to canon? A not-insubstantial part of Palpatine's plan to become Emperor included deliberately tanking the Galactic economy and crippling the banking system.

Sorry my young apprentice, I know I manufactured galaxy-wide war through control of powerful trade federations, secretly financed the growth and training of hundreds of thousands of cloned soldiers, and have since seized absolute control of every aspect of galaxy governance, but you understand I'm now engaged in secretly building a moon-sized space station that I'll use to blow up economically productive planets so you're going to have to make do with a surplus control panel. It's just canon.

Anyway I was more shaking my head at the tv show having to pick up the pieces of how bad the prequels were by introducing economic maneuvering to justify why on earth Palpatine would still be in power, it wasn't a comment on the quality of the show itself. It's like when George decided at the last minute that Grievous should have a cough, so the Genndy cartoon had to put in a scene where Mace Windu crushes his ribcage with the force.

Before you say how unlikely it is they'd let a hideous cackling monster who is actively destroying the economy stay in power, remember who is President.

To be fair that theory faintly made sense. It assumed that he was Evil Yoda and the prequel trilogy loved its parallels. It was mostly people looking for some excuse to not admit Star Wars is a space opera with heavily child-focused elements tho'.

Yeah it made enough sense for people grasping at straws (like how most fan theories are made). The main issue is that it clearly violated the Two Sith rule even if you handwaved away the other complaints (Palpy is always the Master, then you have Maul, Dooku, and Anakin as Apprentices, one for each film).
