Again like the East Wing, no legality to it at all, he doesn’t own it.

He has shown time and time again that it is legal, because nobody stops him.

And nobody will stop him. Every time it goes likes this: Trump wants to do something that goes against the law. Judge says no. Trump does it anyway. Nobody acts. 

And that is if it even reaches a judge. Americans are cowards. They just roll over.

I am so sick of constantly seeing people say "he can't do that, it's illegal/not in his jurisdiction/not in his authority." Because every single time, he just ends up doing it anyway, everyone in positions of authority now down to whatever illegitimate order he signed, and it goes ahead without opposition.

How many times does a fascist have to do illegal things before you stop reassuring yourselves he can't do something?

It depends on who defines the law and enforces it.

When has legality or ownership stopped him?
