The most disturbing thing about this series of events is that Trump thought showing up personally would influence the justices. Of course in his narcissistic mind, that's how it's supposed to work. Everything is transactional. He appointed them with the expectation that they would do his bidding. It's appropriate that he stormed out of the building, but it's also incredibly damning that he showed up in the first place.

He’s being as visibly confrontational as he can.
He wants one or more of his frothing-at-the-mouth devotees to do something crazy for him.
It’s an exercise in dog-whistle target-communication mixed with stochastic terrorism. He’s telling his hordes of morons what to do, while maintaining some level of plausible deniability.
Just like Jan 6. Just ask Mike Pence.

He’s incredibly delusional about his appearance. He really thinks he is those Ai slop photos people make of him, that he is the paragon of health, and his mere presence strikes fear into his enemies. This is what happens to a narcissist with a rapidly deteriorating brain.

We could have terrific, nuanced, in-depth articles about #2, and about how the famous "deal maker" is nothing more than a f****** moron who uses other people's money to bully and cajole his way through life. But nope. Instead we get shit that reads like a high schoolers diary.

Humiliation needs him to be defeated on this, so I'm not going with humiliated until a ruling is passed down. Gorsuch and Barrett both seemed pretty skeptical, and both have shown that they're not complete toadies, but it ain't over until the Fat Ruling sings.
Embarrassing, yes. Pathetic even. But I can't vibe with "humiliated" until we see ruling against Trump on paper.

Liz Oyer did a short video on this and pointed out how this whole thing is so symbolic of trump.
He showed up to make it about himself and seemingly sought to intimidate the proceeding. He sat long enough to hear the DOJ argument-trumps argument- then left before the ACLU presented.
He was only interested in making a show of it, and hearing his side. He's never interested in opposing view points, and doesnt want the whole picture. He literally sat through the part he believes, and left before the part he doesnt want to hear about.
Its an amazing representation of who he is.

People say this is the darkest timeline, but think of it this way...
Trump makes history by reminding everyone the Supreme Court is packed with his hand picked judges, thus are openly willing to vote in favor for him.
Supreme Court rules against the defining policy of hai second term, invalidating his tariffs.
78 year old sun downing manchild throws a fit, to the point that at his following state of the union he stared them down periodically.
Decides to break tradition and goes to what the oral arguments for his other landmark second term policy, trying to destroy birthright citizenship.
Didn't even last two hours because his own attorney was making it clear, this is unlikely to go his way.

OvaltineyumApr 2, 2026

I quite enjoy the conservative machine trying to spin that he DIDN'T actually lose on tariffs because they said he could do them another way.
He illegally took billions of dollars from people, and SCOTUS said "no". Sure, he could have tried it another way from the beginning...but he didn't. He broke the law.
If I drive 65mph on a country road with a 45mph speed limit, then get onto a highway, it doesn't negate that I was speeding. I'm just not speeding NOW.
