The accusation of "undermining democracy" is vague, at best. In what ways has he undermined democracy? For the most part, he's doing pretty much what he promised to do during the campaign (with the admitted notable exception of being "tough on Wall Street), and voters elected him on those promises. That sounds like upholding democracy to me, regardless of whether they're promises I would prefer not be followed through on.
He has not "followed through" on any executive orders that were found unconstitutional. He's challenged both of the recent federal rulings in court, which is well within the rights of a president (or any person). If you believe that a ruling is unfair, you have every right to appeal it (I can point to numerous examples where this same thing happened under the Bush and Obama administrations). It's not as if he continued to enforce the parts of the ban that were struck down before the recent ruling that kept the ban in place. Whether he'll continue to do so after the Seattle ruling that struck down the entire ban remains to be seen, but that's just it; it remains to be seen. You can't legitimately accuse him of doing something that he hasn't done yet.
I thoroughly dislike Trump, but waving wild accusations around with no specifics or evidence to back them up is beneficial to no one's cause.
