Didn't Trump have some of his first term plans frustrated by "civil disobedience" of his civil service?
I'd love to see his decisions overturned, but I suppose it shows the dangers of trying to smother populists in non-democratic ways. He is reacting reasonably to his first term, and he is not shy of such actions.
A better way to fight populism long-term is to deliver a system of fair government, and education so people can recognize that and not vote for tyrants. I am amazed what state schooling actually does for 12 years, at a huge cost to worldwide budgets, with people coming out the other end barely able to do maths and reading comprehension.

IIRC some portion of it was "wait one week and he'll forget the crazy thing and lose interest" and some "I won't commit crimes for you." I feel those both deserve a separate category.
