They also seem to not understand how the judicial branch works.

Your point is a good one, and I think it raises a big issue: we've been discrediting his intelligence for too long, that I think we are fixated on his in-competence.
Honestly.
We need to stop giving a crap about his distractions (twitter being #1), and start focusing on what his actions are. It's a bunch of "look at how ridiculous my left hand is" while with his right hand he is purging the State Department and trying to muzzle the press.
The issue isn't Trump. He's completely predictable (in his unpredictable way). His ego rules at all times.
What we need to be concerned about is who has the real power behind the scenes and is pulling Trump's strings, and, what checks and balances are in place that can put a stop to the nonsense.
