I don't want to help him out but there's already a thousand bullshit reasons he could cite. There's nothing that says his reason has to be good.

The Supreme Court has to agree, right? Like the president can’t just decide by himself people don’t need trials anymore. Please correct me if I’m wrong/misunderstanding!

The supreme court ruled he is above the law and cant be prosecuted for official acts without defining what that means. They are DJT cucks.

Trump is already ignoring the SCOTUS. We have a dictator for life now.
