Filing motions that question the court are protected by the 1st Amendment.Lawyers are officers of the court and member of the bar and have ethical standards. Failure to abide by those court standards and bar requirements is to not file false and frivioulus motions with the court to delay justice.
So with that said...
Yes the court and the bar can take action against lawyers that violate court procedures and bar standards.
Now, FPOUTS#45 could fire his legal team and attempt to represent himself, as a non-court officer and not a member of the bar, I'm sure he would be given more leeway so you statement "Trump can file all the motions he wants" is technically true. However his lawyers cannot.

The lawyers represent Trump and therefore are filing those motions on his behalf.
