As predicted, he will ignore court orders. [View all]

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).

I believe this is the bottom line of this whole mess.
