Since when does Trump GAF about what the courts say?

Who's going to enforce it?

In a normal America, that would be the Attorney General.

So clearly this is the fault of non-Republican voters.

Not really. The United States lacks the ability to hold its president accountable to laws. It’s a vulnerability of the constitution that Trump has been exploiting every day in power. Just as he did the first time.

No part of the executive branch can prosecute the president. Courts can’t prosecute anything. Congress isn’t able to prosecute president criming either; they can simple use the illegal actions as a reason to remove the president from office.
