I don't think people here understand this yet: he doesn't care. He won't abide by any court rulings and there's no one to make him do it. Your system was always broken, and your rights are just a gentleman's agreement. Now you ran out of gentlemen.

My 6th grade teacher included the judiciary's lack of ability to enforce their rulings as part of our lesson on checks and balances. That feels like foreshadowing now.

Yeah, in spite of Trump literally being a felon while also being president, people still can't shake the idea that he's somehow forced to follow the law. He's actively ignoring a bunch of judicial orders, but people keep celebrating whenever another is added to the pile. We're simply unable to understand that when Trump - or any rich person for that matter - gets a sentence that "makes them" do something, they can just... not. And nothing bad will happen to them.

Sorry, I'm a foreigner and I don't understand much. Someone cares to explain? Should the police normally enforce judicial orders and sentences? Why do they not? Is the police personally loyal to Trump?

Has he paid any of the money he was supposed for the slander/libel/ breaking new York laws or whatever? Or has it just been reduced to nothing.

I'm not sure, but I'd be surprised if he didn't use his power as president to dodge it somehow. Or he just ignored it - who's going to actually come after him over it anyway?

Yeah but that's not exclusive to our system, that's society in general.
