The parent is not saying Trump is not the legitimate president. He's saying that the US government has three branches (congress, executive, judiciary) which provide checks and balances and Trump is ordering an executive agency to ignore that, and the agency is following this order. Characterizing this as a coup is not totally inaccurate.

"...in which our illegitimate "President" is overriding the authority of the judicial branch..."

The subject is 'President' and the adjective is 'illegitimate'. If the parent meant that Trump's actions are not legally sound, then they would have written:

"...in which our "President" is illegitimately overriding the authority of the judicial branch..."

Actually, the parent does explicitly say this:

our illegitimate "President"

Yeah, not seeing it. The stay is temporary, not permanent. He is allowed to continue enforcing his EO.
