Translation: I will have my toddler tantrum and do more horrible things if you don't let me have my way!

And also if he does have his way. No point in placating him.

Well he's only lied about EVERY SINGLE THING, but maybe this time it's different?

It wouldn't be at risk of being screwed if you hadn't slapped your dumb tariffs on everything and everybody, you demented orange turd.

It’s not the Supreme Court that’s screwing things.

Gonna slap a big ol "in this one instance" on that. The supreme Court is definitely still screwing all sorts of shit up.

True the SC is a big screw up. If DT wasn’t screwing up first then they wouldn’t get a look in.

The not so subtle subtext is that Trump is going to drum up some stochastic terrorism against the justices if they go against his wishes.

I like how he said “WE’RE SCREWED.”

We’re? Homie, this is your plan, your Independence Day or whatever, your leadership. Why aren’t YOU screwed? /rhetorical

Classic narcissist BS.

Well, then let's hope the court rejects it!

Food for thought: The American congress has granted the president more authority to declare war and remove a head of state than it has granted for tariffs.

I get “power of the purse” and all. Nonetheless, something feels rotten about our priorities here.
