What has meaningfully changed here is the rate at which Trump goes charging across lines that result in court cases.

As best as I remember, it has always been the case that executives make decisions that result in court cases. I've never seen it like this, though.

The rate is different but at the end of the day they still go through the process and when his administration loses cases they just shut up and lose the case. You mostly don't hear about the, I believe hundreds, of cases that the administration has lost. As long as they follow the rule of law (obviously there are at times gray areas and he is expert at identifying and challenging those) I'm not too concerned. Again the media just whips people up into a fervor because it's really good advertising business.
