Yeah, in spite of Trump literally being a felon while also being president, people still can’t shake the idea that he’s somehow forced to follow the law. He’s actively ignoring a bunch of judicial orders, but people keep celebrating whenever another is added to the pile. We’re simply unable to understand that when Trump - or any rich person for that matter - gets a sentence that “makes them” do something, they can just… not. And nothing bad will happen to them.
I’m not sure, but I’d be surprised if he didn’t use his power as president to dodge it somehow. Or he just ignored it - who’s going to actually come after him over it anyway?
Sorry, I’m a foreigner and I don’t understand much. Someone cares to explain? Should the police normally enforce judicial orders and sentences? Why do they not? Is the police personally loyal to Trump?
Basically, people do what the law enforcement - like police and judges - say because they go to jail for a long time if they don’t. There are plenty of other punishments that aren’t jail, but those are really only enforced with the threat of jail time if you don’t comply, so it all comes back to jail in the end. Nobody’s going to come after Trump to put him in jail because he’s the president, and even before then, he had enough money to make sure nobody came after him anyway.
Nobody but the wealthy know exactly how they get away with their crimes, but I’d imagine some high-ranking members of the police force and probably several other people from other government agencies are willing to look the other way for a bit of cash, which allows the people who have that cash to essentially treat every crime like nothing more than a fine.

Has he paid any of the money he was supposed for the slander/libel/ breaking new York laws or whatever? Or has it just been reduced to nothing.
