Trump has many of the powers of a King, the chief one being the power of Pardon. It makes all things de-facto legal (in the federal sphere) for his lackeys.
The U.S. Constitution is a very weak document that gives little protection against a tyrant, and little protection of human rights. That is being exploited right now.
If Congress and SCOTUS had any backbone at all this stuff wouldn't be happening like it is. They are either afraid of Trump or are bought and paid for.
Checks and balances don't work when two of the three arms are limp and useless.
