Could the blue states just ignore orders from the white house? Like if he orders them to round up illegal aliens? What could trump do about it?

    There is no such thing as a “national divorce”. What you are talking about is civil war. A civil war that Trump and his band of criminals wants to make happen. As of right now he couldn’t do anything about it because he’s not the president. I’m sure if it came down to it he would try to illegally deploy the military to achieve his nefarious goals, destroy democracy permanently, and plant himself in the position of dictator for life. He’s said that he plans to do as much right out in public.

      I don’t think the military would follow. They wouldn’t outright disobey, but they would stall with loopholes and what not. I read they were ordered to help with the rodney king riots, but when they were asked to do anything specific they denied the request based on legal questions about if they could. In the end they basically didn’t do much at all. Most of the brass are poloticians, they know how to play the game.
