There are a lot of people just ASSUMING Trump won't follow orders from judges.
Given the squawking about Judge Engelmayer's ruling enjoining Treasury (not ENTIRELY unfairly), they're treating it as real. There have been reports of compliance elsewhere.
There will come a time Trump ignores orders.

I have no idea if it exists but given how messy and aggressive he is, I assume it does.
What we CAN possibly do is switch the source of authority — eg from Dear Leader to The Law.

1. Label all Dems as terrorists, preventing them from running for office
2. Cancel elections w/ wartime reasons
3. Let Elon hack in favor of GOP
If not now, then never.
Pardon palooza. Looking at you...Elon.
Once Trump/Elon has control of the Government computer systems. They're not giving it back. EVER!
What are the Vegas odds of a military coup?
A judge is powerless without the system that backs his orders up.
If Musk doesn’t have a private security team in place, he’s dumber than I thought.
