Now that the US supreme court has made it clear, Trump will be King of Gilead, let me remind you of this post from December 2022, where Trump directly states, that if he does not win an election, the laws of the constitution must be set aside.
This man is preparing a coup, and the Suppreme Court is on his side.

US democracy is standing at the crossroads.
Trump = Putin
He refuses to accept election results unless he wins, and win he will.
He's not insane, but he isn't very bright. He lacks a moral compass and believes his own publicity.
I suspect his desire for revenge against all who have stood against him will be biblical, and may well supercede his Presendential responsibilities.
Hopefully it will be what brings him down.
But he will have 4 years to alter the constitution.

SCOTUS already put the constitution aside for him. They've declared a president can do anything as long as SCOTUS does not interpret it to be beyond the periphery of the duties tangentially related to his office.
Trump will be allowed to do whatever the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation want to allow because, importantly, it isn't a blanket approval. Only SCOTUS can grant the rights to dictatorship, and only after the act occurs. (I won't be surprised if they can use this ruling to limit Biden even further, somehow)
Yeah that makes sound slightly reasonable until you consider that the Supreme Court judges were appointed by Trump. They are Trump men. They owe him.
So to say they have the final say or to believe they have any kind of control is just not true.
Trump has been confident he would walk away from his crimes for one simple reason - he owns the Supreme Court judges. They would not be in post if not for him.
So no. Not relevant.

I'm sorry if I've said anything that seemed like it was meant to inspire confidence in SCOTUS, that was not at all my point or intention.
SCOTUS is lawless and they have an agenda to complete.
