This administration has done so much damage in such a short period of time, it is too hard for the courts to keep up with all the criminality.

He has learned to just keep plowing ahead with whatever hairbrained idea pops in his head, because he knows there will be no meaningful consequences. Whenever he starts to feel the heat, he just comes up with another over-the-top distraction.

If more than half of congress hadn't sold their souls, at least there would be a chance he could be stopped or at least slowed down.
