Donald Trump facing legal, political headwinds as he eyes comeback
As he prepared to tee off at one of his Florida golf courses, a fellow player introduced Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States. 45th and 47th, Trump responded matter-of-factly, before hitting his drive.

This case presents a clear threat to that right."
