Obama had put in place an illegal executive order before leaving to give a grace period keeping his goons there. It was both bait and a stall tactic. That combined with the Russia bullshit masking an illegal spying campaign sanctioned by the FISA courts, Congress would have risked steamrolling him out of office within the first few months.
Though I honestly would have preferred that had happened because mass civil disobedience and Civil War 2.0 probably would have kicked off, and the ship may have been righted by now
Nigger he tried that with DACA. Supreme Court said no. Do you have the memory of a goldfish? Or are you just retarded?
I remember that. And it makes no sense. I should read the decision to see how they contorted the ruling to say that an executive order can't be undone by another executive order.
I'm sure it was watertight and full of elaborate pilpul, but Trump should have just said no to the courts. Unfortunately this is one of his weak spots. He personally doesn't understand the law, and was surrounded by bad or malicious advisors. (Bannon was the last good one IMO) The uniparty had an army of attorneys working against him to make sure he was ineffectual.
That said as other comments point out ignoring the courts would have been more ammo for the impeachment.
I understand that Trump had the ability to cancel it and that maybe Congress wouldn't have the balls to counteract, but the media was already painting him as a dictator and a good portion of the country believed in those lies before he even stepped foot in office, just for simply stating the reality of illegal immigration.
It was apparent within the first year that Trump was more concerned about image (which is something many populists suffer from), and as much as we like to joke about "4D chess" after the fact, there was no foresight on where he could go (which is a consequence of being an outsider who is more of diplomat instead of a warrior). Practically every Republican was walking away and clearly wanted him to disappear, or they buckled. Sessions immediately bowed out when the heat was on.
With all that happened, he SHOULD have gone forward with firing everybody, even though I have no idea how badly the Deep State would rail against those who aren't Beltway pigs. Who knows what lengths leftist mobs, the media and intelligence agencies would have gone to smear him, but it could have been a spectacle.
