I think…and I could be wrong… that the Supreme Court has to agree with said official act.

When they’re all corrupt, they won’t agree unless you’re their sugar daddy.

He should fire them as an official act, hire new supreme court justices who on his last day in office declare presidents can no longer do whatever the hell they want and kneecap Trump from undoing shit as soon as he gets into office.

Would he do something so cool? Of course fucking not.

Honestly I'll just take literally kneecapping Trump and call it a day, is that really a big ask?

This is correct. The ruling leaves it completely open to interpretation by the Supreme Court, regarding what constitutes an official act. The ruling was never a power gift to the presidency, it was a power grab by by the Supreme Court.

I thought the same. It seems clear that the Supreme Court intended that ruling for use by their political side, if a Democrat tries to use it that's the instant they'll overturn it.

Which would be one way to get rid of it i suppose

They'll just rule that it couldn't be a valid presidential act because it's not constitutional for some batshit crazy made up reason. Meanwhile armed insurrection against the US government is FINE because 'MURCA.

The judicial relies on the executive for enforcement. Dems don't have the balls.
