As no surprise to anyone, he has no respect for the law.
- Well, we’ve already been told that you can’t prosecute a sitting president, and you can’t really hold them responsible for “Official Acts”, so there’s really no reason for Trump to take direction from the courts seriously.
- Well, except those laws that give him what he wants - like the stacked Supreme Court saying virtually anything he does in office automatically comes with blanket immunity from prosecution.
