Trump was elected by the whole US population. Why does a judge, who was not elected by the entire US population, is able to block the democratically elected president? To me, it sounds like the judges are the ones "destroying democracy" as they are blocking the will of the people.
What has Trump done to take away votes from people? Every election is still happening. US citizens are still able to vote.

The president does not have some special power because he won the electoral college election, majority of voters, plurality or whatever. He still has to follow the rule of law, he still has to obey court orders. If the president does some action that a federal judge rules was illegal, then they can stop it. This is completely ordinary and every president faces this, Biden, Trump 1, Bush2, Reagan etc.
