Excellent point, and you're right, he has no conception of laws, obvious since he breaks several every single day

He believes what he wants to believe and refuses to believe he's ever wrong.

and Miller told him they had won; SCOTUS had ruled in their favor. It is entirely possible that he really believes that. It may take Roberts himself telling him to his face what the truth is.
Same dynamic as why he continues to believe tariffs are good because Peter Navarro keeps telling him they are..He is not capable of evaluation on his own.

Someone needs to sit him down - preferably before the actual court - and explain to him in a way he can hopefully comprehend - exactly what the laws are that he continues to break.

evaluation.
