We've installed a child as our President and while I used to be depressed and sad about it, more now I'm just embarrassed for us as a country.

(269,050 posts)Only I can Fix It - he actually believes that. He is fucking clueless - he does not know the meaning of a government of laws - Rules do not apply to Groper Don the Con and he is the only important President in history. Further he cannot understand why every citizen and institution will not bow down before him and tell him how great he is.
He will learn.

(36,926 posts)He's an ignorant fool, but he's surrounded to evil psychopaths, who can get him to sign whatever horrible EO they hand him, cause, after all, he either won't or can't read briefing papers. The perfect puppet, really.
gordianot
(15,238 posts)This is what Narcissist often want deflection to a scapegoat. It is not that far of a leap from "I was following orders" to "I was following their advice". Trump uses people be they voters, customers, family, contractors, investors, lawyers(who seem to hate him). Here is hoping Trump becomes broke (again) without a bailout following his Presidential fiasco.
MoonRiver
(36,926 posts)I'm just saying he's a total buffoon, with evil masterminds like Bannon pulling the strings. Rump has signed on to this deal with the devil, so he is guilty of all the horrors his cabal wants to inflict on the world.

(7,432 posts)Trumpy will send this case to the Supreme Court. When they rule against him, he'll declare that the Supreme Court is illegitimate and will eventually ignore the decisions of the Courts. That's what Dictators do. That's what Trumpy will do.

(7,908 posts)not, as far as I know, answer to the Executive or Legislative branches. In the 1950s, US Marshalls accompanied black children to racially segregated schools to enforce federal court orders to desegregate said facilities.
The judge in this case might first have to issue an Order to Show Cause, compelling defendant Trump (how I like the sounds of those words) to appear to show cause why he should not be held in contempt. Upon his almost-certain failure to appear, the judge could then dispatch marshalls to compel his appearance. This is all theoretical, of course.
sarcasmo
(23,968 posts)Danascot
(4,690 posts)at some point law enforcement will need to step in to arrest those in the administration who are in violation, up to and including Trump. This needs to happen before he can marshal enough law enforcement, the military and private security (Erik Prince!) loyal to him to stave off arrest. As an example, at the beginning of the Muslim ban, CBP, which is an armed branch of federal law enforcement, was clearly defying court orders and siding with Trump. And just in the past few days the leadership of the Justice Department belongs to him. Will it come to sending a SWAT team into federal offices or even the White House? Is so, how will that end? The longer he's allowed to amass power, the worse it could be, including the defeat and casualties of the forces attempting arrest.

(9,155 posts)Not likely, Fuckface Von Clownstick.
One of the standards for issuing a Temporary Restraining Order is that the complainant is "likely to succeed on the merits" in arguing his case.
Hey Trump, how about you shut your Tweet hole and send your consigliere to Washington to argue against an injunction of your unconstitutional EO?
