18. People being just humans, after all, are going to react

to this type of threat... whether or not anything is actually carried out. SCOTUS screwed up with their "immunity" ruling... screwed up as far as the 95% of us are inclined to believe then AND now. SCOTUS is just now finding out that their friendship with trump only lasts for as long as you do exactly what he tells you to do, in the way he's told you to do it. Step outside of those parameters once, and you're an enemy of trump's for life. I've not seen evidence that anyone ever gets accountability from trump for anything, so there's no known route for making him pay - or at least, back off. What in the world is SCOTUS going to do now? Even if they give trump everything he wants from his point forward, trump will always be trying to make them pay for the one time they didn't. And, like I said, humans being human, I would think their first reaction would be entrench themselves deeper and NOT give him everything he wants. Of course, we've got more than a few Magats on the court, so who knows? While most magats believe in instant gratification, these judges of that ilk are more measured as far as timelines go.

So the question across the board, in all things, is how do you stop trump? He is not a force of nature on his own. But, other than personally murdering him, how can one put a stop to all this he comes up with? I would say do tit for tat.. he puts out an executive order and you tell him you won't enforce it. And you stick to that decision, no matter what trump throws at you. But even if it did work, it would only work for that one "enemy" and not everyone else. So again, what can be done to stop trump?
