Why?
Because there will be no judicial enforcement, and every action he takes will be interpreted to be an "official act" and therefore immune to prosecution.
There will be no enforcement.
He "owns" the enforcers.
Without enforcement, laws for him may as well not exist.
No enforcement? Then, no laws (for Trump).

If a federal court orders a defiant party to come into court on a contempt charge and that order is to be carried out by federal marshals who work for Pam Bondi's DoJ, do you think the marshals will do it if their boss tells them to stand down?
