Fining Trump officials won’t work

Against a defiant White House, the courts should use this powerful tool

This Washington Post column suggests fining officials if they don’t obey the court. See my comment below. I don;t think it would work.

Why would you expect the Trump administration to obey the court and pay the fine when disobedience is what got them there in the first place? Look at Trump’s personal history. Have fines changed his disgusting behavior? If the fines are paid (which I doubt). Trump and his cabinet of billionaires will provide the money if lower officials don’t have it.
