The judiciary "interprets" the constitution. Trump filled the judiciary with loyalist or otherwise ideologically aligned judges during this term and his previous. The supreme court ruled last year that the president has immunity, and the president has the ability to pardon people, so it seems the administration is pretty much "above the law." Even when the courts do push back, they're acting like they're powerless, and the admin's tactics seems to be just ignoring, stalling, or taking the "ain't no rules says a dog can't play basketball" approach to working around the courts. Yes, the constitution has been severely weakened, and will probably continue to weaken.
