16. Trump has free rein.

His Justice Department surely isn't going to indict him for breaking any law, and his collaborators in Congress will not exercise the political solution of removing him from office.

Used to be, the threat of prosecution after a president's time in office was a back up constraint on illegal behavior, but the Supreme Court has removed that.
