This is the part that honestly scares me. SCOTUS gave him broad immunity, and with the jackals he keeps in his orbit, I don't doubt for a second he/they could contrive "creative" ways to punish anyone that speaks ill of him, resists his efforts, or otherwise tries to speak truth to power.
What about the scientists and teachers just trying to do their jobs? What about the environmental activists? What about the charities trying to help Haitians or Mexicans or Queer people? What about the legal orgs fighting to keep Christianity out of public schools? They don't have the money to fight the government, and all are potential targets if the right lobbyists convince him it would be more profitable if he were to make them "go away."
