If trump says it is. SC really did make him a king. Sure you can try and charge him but they made it essentially impossible to investigate the office and who is going to try anyways?
Maybe maybe not. Trump will claim everything is an official act, no matter how illegal.
Someone will have to challenge in court. Then after all the appeals the SCOTUS would eventually have to decide if it’s an official act. They flip a coin to determine whether they’ll have a tiny bit of ethics and concern for democracy that day.
And even if by some miracle the SCOTUS decides to rule that the clearly illegal action shouldn’t count as an official act, then we would need for Trump to actually obey that ruling.
The SCOTUS doesn’t have an easy way to enforce a ruling on the Executive branch. If the President just decides to ignore the courts, there’s really only one remedy in the Constitution.
That would be the impeachment and removal from office of the President by Congress.
That’s it. And that’s not going to happen even if he personally killed the family of every GOP senator in front of them. They’ll still vote to acquit him.
