Trump will at some point ignore rulings from the Supreme Court.

I don't doubt that.

But I think that the better question is will his Cabinet Secretaries ignore the rulings? Will the Assistant Secretaries and others just down the chain of command?

Because while Trump may be immune from criminal prosecution, those folks aren't.

Sure, some may think that they'll get a pardon. And some may ask for a promise of a pardon before they ignore court rulings. But we all know how good Trump's promises are - and some number of those folks know that, too. And some are simply too dumb to know what personal risk they are taking.

Trump, or any President for that matter, can't do much at all without the organization below him doing as he says. And when the refusals start, the court orders will be followed to some extent despite the childish whining of Trump.
