If he is desperate enough to protect his ass by preventing a majority Dem Congress, would he continue to obey court rulings?
I think that he will try to make some kind of show of force to save his ass. I just don't know what it will be.
I agree that he is not omnipotent, although he tries to give the impression that he is. But he does like to use brute force when he can, or when he thinks he can. He's emotionally unbalanced and nobody in his regime will say no to him. Some, like Hegseth, are just as eager to use physical force on civilians as Trump is.
I don't know what he will try, but past and present behavior indicate that he will not accept any Dem wins and will be happy to use whatever means he can to prevent Dem control in Congress. He might not succeed, but I believe that he will try something.
