Trump: The courts are trying to take away weapons law enforcement needs - "We can't let that happen"

Sounding very threatening and anti-judicial branch while speaking to an audience of police chiefs and sheriffs.

He was talking specifically about his immigration ban, after claiming he understands the law better than judges and lawyers because he's so intelligent.

Law enforcement will now have much less respect for the courts since Trump seems to be giving a nod to doing so. If your description is accurate, Trump is just too dangerous to continue in office but we are stuck. He really has no respect for law or order. He only respects the laws that deny citizen's rights to due process. He ignores all other laws like paying taxes and anti-corruption laws. Now since he is always seeming to criticize the courts he must be against "order" too. He will not be happy until he has all the authority that Putin does. Threatening in public to ruin the career of a law-maker who is ALLEGED by a third party to be obstructing what they want should be a new level of concern. But the media seeminly has let that slide.

without the (some) Muslim refugee ban. Unless, the MSM has not been reporting all of the Bowling Green Massacres that have been occurring caused by (some) Muslim refugees.
