So to be clear, Donald Trump ignored a district judge's orders when he tried to invoke a wartime act from the 18th century to illegally deport thousands with no due process under the auspices of being gang members (with as little proof as "too much skin art") and therefore "international terrorists", claiming that the judge has no authority over him, disobeying the court order, and continuing to commit his crimes.

The normal route for a law abiding person who doesn't agree with a judge's order would be to follow the order then appeal it, to a higher court if need be. There were plenty of legal options available to him (which are often blocked to those who are marginalized and not so privileged).

Instead, when questioned why Trump disobeyed a court order, he responded by calling for the judge to be impeached, calling him a "Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator", indicating that he was "sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama", despite the fact that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who rebuked him for this blatant disregard of the law, John Roberts, is a conservative institutionalist appointed by George W. Bush.

"This is wartime." "I can tell my enemies by the way they look, and that makes them a terrorist and enemy of the state." "The court of law has no authority over me." "Anybody who disagrees with me is a radical left lunatic."

This is authoritarian fascism in full display.
