Eight in 10 respondents believe the Trump administration shouldn’t ignore a federal court ruling the White House doesn’t like, per the new NBC News Decision Desk Poll.
The vast majority of American adults believe the Trump administration must comply with federal court orders, though the president’s strongest supporters are split over the issue, according to a new NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey.
In the poll, 81% of U.S. adults say that if a federal court rules that an administration action is illegal, then the administration has to follow its ruling, while 19% say the administration can ignore the ruling and continue its action.
But among people who consider themselves supporters of the MAGA movement, there’s a sharper divide. According to the poll, supporters of President Donald Trump are split, 50%-50%, over whether he should comply with federal court orders.
What worst is that a significant amount of respondents said that he should ignore them.
In my opinion, they likely also feel they can disregard laws, too. So if the commander in chief doesn’t need to honor his oath and protect the constitution, why should any of his maga followers in the military honor theirs? Same with cops. Revenge and lawlessness are officially approved.
