Harvard Sues Trump Administration Over Threats to Cut Funding

Can anyone explain to me why POTUS has so much power in the US rather than being held in check by all other institutions, it seems like a single bad apple can ruin the whole country and the system should be able to prevent this? Like why do institutions ignore what SCOTUS rules, just because POTUS says so?

Trump is a Republican.
Congress is controlled by Republicans.
The Supreme Court is majority Republican.
The other branches of government could stop this but they're all enabling this to happen.

He’s ignoring the Supreme Court

It's not so much that the Supreme Court is being ignored as much as it is that they refuse to do anything about it. They'll offer some occasional platitudes by ruling against Trump to make the public think that the system is still working as designed, but stop just short of actually enforcing those rulings.

I didn't copy/paste the exact part of the quote I'd have used in my response. That said, you provided a better choice of words. Thank you.
