I’ve had this exact discussion with my father. We both think it’s absurdly short sighted for the SCOTUS to give Trump immunity like they did, even if they reserve the right to define what is in bounds. The moment he has unlimited power, they’re toast.
He already does. What enforcement mechanism does the Supreme Court have? None.
If Trump decides he wants to start ignoring the Supreme Court tomorrow, what the hell are they going to do about it? Especially if Congress is on his side?
Biden pretty much already went through this dance with student debt relief. Trump will throw a dozen things at the wall all at once in the hope just one thing sticks. There’s only so many judges and hours in the day, so just like with the media he’ll overwhelm the system. Until a judge rules on it, Trump and the whole of the GOP considers his every action legal.

What are they going to do? Well, I’ll tell you: John Roberts will consider withholding his vote for Trump’s 2028 campaign.
He’ll write a supporting argument stating that this does not grant precedence for future cases with other presidents.
