I always feel so good when Trump is humiliated, because he is an expert at making others feel the same, like throwing them under the bus if he doesn’t need them.

Trump does not just humiliate people. He bullies them

Which I expect he will be doing to the Justices soon.

The 90+ posts at 4am "Truth" tweet rant will be coming, you just know it.

Crazy he didn't realize that his sheer presence there is highly unwelcome by everyone sitting on that bench, including those who might side with him. If there is one thing Justices don't like, it's being felt like they owe something to anyone. Those people are (unfortunately) nominated for life, and they know they will likely outlive the sitting President.

He was trying to do that here. They didn't give a f***
1
Sarcastic_Sanchez Apr 1, 2026 +1
Sure but he’s not allowed to talk at these, so I imagine he’ll be going to Truth Social and doing whatever behind the scenes shenanigans after this.
1
Smaynard6000 Apr 1, 2026 +1
I expect it would take him showing up with a battalion of ICE for them to care

He'll try... but his schtick is getting old with his team. You love to see it.

It has to be humiliating to have to suck up to someone who has constantly bullied you in public. Thinking of someone like Rubio, though there are hundreds who fit the profile.

>A bully is a person who habitually uses strength, power, or influence to intimidate, *humiliate,* hurt, or frighten those they perceive as weaker or vulnerable. 🤨

The problem is that nothing registers in his head. Now he'll just think "well now I need new justices"".
1
liftbikerun Apr 1, 2026 +1
I definitely don't feel bad for the people getting thrown under the bus as it is almost always morally reprehensible people trying to benefit from the pain and suffering of others.
1
terminalbungus Apr 1, 2026 +1
I truly don't believe he is capable of feeling humiliated. Somewhere deep in his abandoned psyche, MAYBE there is a speck of humiliation, but it would never reach a part of the brain where that feeling is recognized or dealt with. He covers feelings like that with rage and vitriol.
1
Dr_G_E Apr 1, 2026 +1
He left after 90 minutes. I assume he left because he was bored and couldn't follow the arguments being made. Sad.
1
LingonberryHot8521 Apr 1, 2026 +1
Just as likely his diaper got too full. 90 minutes is a long time when you have no control over your bowels or your urethra.

He left after the government made their case and got eviscerated.
1
GG1817 Apr 1, 2026 +1
and his diaper was full.
1
Queasy_Donkey5685 Apr 1, 2026 +1
Probably left so he could get a chzburger and clean his diaper.
1
mulls Apr 1, 2026 +1
Yeah, I doubt he left in a huff, “humiliated.” That implies some sort of shame or ability to self reflect. In his mind he just thought “BORING RINO TRAITORS” and then started day dreaming about golf or shagging p*** stars.

If he comes out in a bad mood I feel bad for Iranian civilians. This f****** dude will blow his top and invade the island and Iran will blow the refineries
1
Aqua_Impura Apr 1, 2026 +1
He stormed out before it even finished. Also Presidents don’t normally attend these. It’s supposed to be Separation of Powers. His attendance was purely an intimidation tactic and the second it wasn’t working he stormed out.
1
Certified_GSD Apr 1, 2026 +1
I worry just ever so slightly that he’ll turn to nuclear weapons and nobody will stop him. I have zero doubt it’s been considered in his dementia brain under the guise of “why not use them if we have them and show force?”
1
this_is_poorly_done Apr 1, 2026 +1
He wanted to nuke a hurricane in his first term afterall
1
Uuuuuii Apr 1, 2026 +1
What a god damn dumbass
1
ShartingEnU Apr 1, 2026 +1
That's honestly what I think too. This could make dude even nuke them since he has mentioned it. He's going to go on a rampage
1
davesmith001 Apr 1, 2026 +1
I doubt he understood anything they said. These hearings are always extremely technical.

Someone didn’t praise him in 90 minutes and his ego fell apart

A lot of these articles reek of click-bait. It seems to me that not enough attention is given to the problem of the simple fact that he was present... at all. We don't need "slammed" or "humiliated" or "tear apart" so much as thoughtful and insightful journalism highlighting the issues of his very presence. There are reasons that this is not the norm... at all. There is a concept of avoiding even the appearance of evil. It's often not just enough to avoid the evil itself. We strive to avoid the appearance thereof and often punish folk just for failure to do so. This is a great example of crossing well beyond this line. There is no need for Trump's presence. If Trump was able to serve properly in his role, he would be able to delegate all the required work to his subordinates. In this specific case, this means the lawyers arguing the case for the administration. I would argue part of his presence was because he does not trust the ability of his underlings to carry forward his will. This is highly indicative of a failure of the chief executive being able to execute. Next, this action clearly and robustly violates the Separation of Powers in spirit and in principle. There is no way, **especially** given Trump's comments on such, to avoid the appearance that Trump is there to bully the justices he believes are supposed to be subservient to his will.

Imagine that, something that's in the Constitution, SHOULD take a congressional act, and has not been changed or clarified yet, had no meritorious argument from the executive branch. Who could have imagined this!? Oh yes, everyone. So long as Thomas and Alito don't torpedo it like they do everything else.

It's April fools today. Tell me this tomorrow and I might believe it.

Eh I believe it Trump is basically a huge baby the moment someone doesnt immediately bow he cries and runs away

Trump has been a fool his whole life, doesn't just need it to be April 1st.

We've known SCOTUS was discussing this today for over a week, though.

TransiTorri Apr 1, 2026 +1
Made it 90 minutes before he left. Expect him to "Truth" post his baby rage the rest of the day.

I would really hate to be Steven Cheung today them diapers going to be rank

The insinuation that a president appointing a judge means he owns them is troubling to me.
1
Mental_Mixture8306 Apr 1, 2026 +1
There was never a case.  It's literally in the constitution.    He only went there as a mob boss to remind the justices that they work for him.  Hopefully it didn't work.  Can't always tell with this lot.

gavinashun Apr 1, 2026 +1
Why does Daily Beast use the word "humiliated" in 80% of their headlines? I mean, I'm sure they have some analytics that say this word increases clicks. But it is so pathetic & boring. On the plus side, it does provide an easy way to know when a listnook post is a Daily Beast article and therefore should be skipped.
1
MommyLovesPot8toes Apr 1, 2026 +1
Their headline writers and their actual writers must live on different planets from each other. The headlines are always "melt down", "humiliated", or "slammed", and then the article is just "here's what's going on". I subscribe to them because of the breadth and speed of their reporting. They cover every little thing that happens. But of course that comes at the cost of depth. And I'm ok with that for one of my news sources. But I wish they'd drop their sensationalist, tabloid headlines that cast a cloud of exaggeration on everything they produce.
1
aravarth Apr 1, 2026 +1
Because — like it or not — their bullshit headlines drive engagement. People will get angry at them and will click the article, thus driving further traffic to the website. It's literally that simple.

What a scumbag. We're in the middle of a war and he decided to take hours out of his day to try to pressure the Supreme Court to strip citizenship from innocent people

I think he left because he shit his pants.

AFlockOfTySegalls Apr 1, 2026 +1
He really is stupid enough to believe they owe him loyalty because he gave them a lifetime appointment, and that keeps backfiring on him.
1
i_am_a_real_boy__ Apr 1, 2026 +1
It feels like dailybeast has used "humiliated" in at least one headline per day for the last month.
1
Th3_Admiral_ Apr 1, 2026 +1
Another day, another sensationalized headline from the Daily Beast. Nothing in the actual article about him being "humiliated", and the case has not been "torn apart" yet.

Historical_Film5737 Apr 1, 2026 +1
TIL  there is a direct correlation between Trump’s humiliation and my inner joy.

Did that shithead Thomas also participate? How this is before the SC is beyond me. There is an established precedent for changing the Constitution - do the hard work, get the f****** votes and change it.

beardofzetterberg Apr 1, 2026 +1
Title showcases the problem with this country. Well, one of many. They aren’t his justices, but too often they seem to be. Almost no real checks and balances. Yet, on the other side, it’s so divided that having actual checks and balances stalls everything anyways.

Federal_Studio5935 Apr 1, 2026 +1
Let’s be honest, he couldn’t follow what was going on

I'm glad he was there in person to receive the humiliation.

He appears to be quite the fool. An *April* fool, as it were.

Left after 90 minutes? That lines up, he’s got to take his periodic The Substance injections every few hours I imagine to keep his corpse artificially animate.

Yeah, how is taking away birthright citizenship supposed to work? Do parents have to apply for their baby to get US citizenship? I’m not understanding what the options are if it changes.

I’m surprised he didn’t bring any of the justices’ family members in with him, Godfather-style.

Welp... the manbaby's mad now. Which means innocent people somewhere are going to get airstriked in the tantrum.

Ah. So it was performative, and we’re supposed to buy into the idea that they aren’t collaborating. Good to know.

ging_ging_ Apr 1, 2026 +1
They needed to. If they went with the Originialism stance, then one could argue that the 2nd amendment only applies to black powder rifles.

OldRain5261 Apr 1, 2026 +1
He is not humiliated. That is something normal people like you can I can experience. He was annoyed because something didn’t go his way, but he has a ton of other strategies being vomited up by Stephen miller to inflict pain and suffering. Please stop with the foolish headlines. The man is god until he dies or enough republican congresspeople break this fever dream.
1
Just_the_questions1 Apr 1, 2026 +1
Feeling humiliated requires someone to be capable of introspection and feeling shame. Trump is incapable of both those things. Along with not shitting his pants.

Anyone have a link to him leaving. I need to be cheered up.

axpiota59 Apr 1, 2026 +1
How exactly? He can’t follow any of it. Or was it translated into picture-book language for him?
1
BeeFaerie Apr 1, 2026 +1
I love how there is no pretense that judges are supposed to be academic and impartial. His "own" justices? Well, at least this headline gets at the truth.
1
lucid-quiet Apr 1, 2026 +1
He wanted a win here so he cold immediately use it to distract.

Every time I see a dramatically negative headline about Trump, I check the site and about 80% of the time, it's the Daily Beast.

Daily beast is biased as hell this is bullshit. I listened to most of the hearing and nobody was tearing anything apart. Nobody was humiliated.
