People need to understand that the President is not king in the US.  Yes the president can do some stuff but a lot of it can be challenged in court.  A lot of stuff cannot be done unless you have both house and senate within your same party.  Maybe he will throw out a bunch of dumb EOs that will be immediately challenged.

Will Trump be a terrible president.  Hell yeah no doubt but always remember what he says he will do and what he can actually do are two very different things.

Given that many courts are overwhelmingly Republican, the checks and balances of the Judicial System are less encouraging...

True, there are a lot of Republican judges but we have seen many of them shoot down on multiple occasions GOP and Trump BS stuff so I have a little faith that the rule of law will still prevail.  Yes, you will have judges like the ones in Alabama or that one judge in Florida doing the documents case but we also have to remember all the court cases after the election that were shot down by republican judges who were not buying the BS.  I just believe the magnitude of Trump stupidity will raise up to a degree that most will not put their integrity on the line for it.
