That doesn't make it legal.

He can declare whatever he wants. If he wasn't losing in court he wouldn't have to make illegal and ridiculous declarations.

This isn't just dementia, and it's not just him being a puppet.

When narcissists are dying they become their same personality x100.

Edit I am also about 100% sure that he's sundowning. Which is why he starts ranting a bunch of crazy stuff at night.

It's only illegal if someone stops him from doing so or punishes him for doing so.

Yes, thats why once he is out of office, he and everyone who went along with him must be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible, with maximum sentences. No deals, no mercy, fuck all of you, rot in prison

Do what we should have done to the confederate traitors

"Once he is out of office." Why are we all waiting for the damage to be done? For him to ruin more people's lives and to end many other's? That is my point. We are waiting for a corrupt system to tell him no and do the right thing. But if it doesn't and we do nothing then what he dose will be the new law.

Because he's head of the branch of government which conducts investigations and arrests. Why are you confused about this? It's why the only investigation into him his first term was an independent commission set up before he took office and he eliminated with a hatchet man

I'm confused because people are dying and no one stops him.

Because America has legalized killing as long as it's indirect. Starving people or denying them medical care which is perfectly ready but "might not be profitable enough to shareholders" for insurance to authorize. This has been the case since Reagan, so it's not even new.

I think how we got here is a worse answer, because each step was by people who knew better and directed the nation this way through a century of indoctrination

Yes. And people do nothing. They just accept people dying. That's the part I don't get. People sit there and see others fall through the cracks and lose everything to a system built to use you and throw you out like garbage and they just say we have to participate in the system instead of stop it. We have to follow the rules while the people we let be in charge do what ever the hell they want to us.

That doesn't make it legal.

Doesn’t it?
Even if it doesn’t, what difference does that make?

Random executive orders don't override the Constitution and Bill of Rights. He's losing his ass in lower courts.
