“Donald Trump vowed last night that he has never, and will never, defy the courts — even as his war on the judiciary hits new heights,” Politico reports.
“In an interview with Fox News (by my count, the fifth of his eight-week presidency), Trump bluntly told the MAGA faithful that ‘you can’t’ just ignore the rulings of the judicial branch.“
“This was a TV moment that actually mattered. Trump gave a similar response at a brief press huddle last month — but last night was a sit-down interview on MAGA TV, and came in the context of this week’s relentless attacks on the judiciary from Trump world. The president blustered and raged plenty more through the interview — but on the substantive point, he was clear.”
Said Trump: “I never did defy a court order. No, you can’t do that.”
