Yeah, you're right. Here's some thoughts on contempt of court and how that could wind its way through the judiciary:

Basically, the Constitution assumes Congress will act if a President ignores court orders, either beginning impeachment hearings or passing legislation to enforce the court order.

It's a gray area when you have a President who just says screw it to any and all remedies ordered by a court.

That would leave impeachment and a successful Senate trial and conviction as a remedy, which has almost zero chance of happening.

I think if the Court of International Trade decision, not injunction, was appealed to the Supreme Court and the plaintiffs won, it would have sufficient leverage to cause compliance by the President.

Most of the US population would support compliance, and the TV Show's ratings would drop even more with non-compliance, so that may be a way to force compliance.

The big problem would come if a decision against the tariffs was rendered by the Court of International Trade, and the administration did not appeal the decision.

That would leave the enforcement to the CIT, which is not a court most Americans are familiar with. That would be a way for the President to duck a court decision to reverse the tariffs.
