Why is he Republican House stalling the Budget? Is this being done on Trump's orders? Is there something Trump thinks he can gain from shutting down the government?
He feels invincible, and the rest of us have seen time after time he is untouchable. He and his flunkies will continue to condemn and defy the courts. He and Musk and now Vance threaten any member of Congress who does not fall in line, with a primary challenger, threaten judges with impeachment, threatens any whistleblowers (as in his first term) with treason. This spineless Congress has totally collapsed, and will allow Trump's lawlessness to cause a constitutional crisis.
I'm reminded of Thomas Paine from one of his "The American Crisis" pamphlets as he tried to inspire hope and courage in Americans, urging them to not go down without a fight. "These are the times that try men's souls."
This is an easy question. The obvious answer is, Yes, he will ignore the courts. He had four years where he wasn't in office and the courts could barely touch him. SCOTUS has given him absolute immunity. He sees no reason to let them tell him what he can or cannot do. Just watch.
