And indeed, why should they apply to him. He was elected democratically. Any rules in place will also be repealed. If he's doing it in the wrong order, it's just a technicality.
That's the rule of law in a democracy. We were warned since Plato that it meant mob rule. The demos voted for bread and circuses, and that's what we're getting. Well, circuses first. Maybe bread later.

An awful lot of what's going on seems to be about whether we have the rule of law or the rule of Trump. Do we have a president, or a king? I want rule of law. I want the president constrained by the constitution, not able to do everything that comes into his head.
