Trump can only be a legitimate president under our constitution. If he fails to respect the limits on presidential power laid out by that constitution, including the right and responsibility of the judicial branch to block an order deemed unconstitutional, then he disavows the very document on which his legitimacy is predicated. To say that he's legitimate under those conditions is not even wrong. It's gibberish.
