It has been clearly established that no one is willing or able to enforce the law when Trump is involved so why is anyone still surprised that he just ignores it?

Trump ignoring the law doesn't surprise me, but the lack of willingness to enforce anything from every other part of government still does blow my mind a little bit
Like, as someone who's got a little bit of a fascination with criminal justice stuff, I can't even remember how many times I've seen prosecutors and judges just hammer people and organizations with pre-trial detentions, freezing accounts and asset seizures, bringing in irrelevant but prejudicial evidence, compelling testimony from people by threatening them with prosecution, and just a million other coercive means of forcing guilty pleas or verdicts when they want to, but none of them are willing to do any of those things to this guy no matter how many times he just shits all over them and it's just wild to me still
How would the police and prosecutor exactly do this if he is their boss? He can just fire them and then deport them to a death camp. Probably a law that says he can do it somehow since they would be technically overthrowing the government.
