Trump to attend Supreme Court after calling Gorsuch, Barrett 'fools'

Intimidation tactics

Does anyone think , if he can stay awake, dump will make noises and stupid faces when he doesn’t agree with the argument that is being presented?

President Donald Trump’s unprecedented attendance at a Supreme Court argument over birthright citizenship comes after he has repeatedly criticized justices and other judges who have ruled against him in previous cases. Trump has focused most of his ire on two justices he appointed, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, who joined the 6-3 majority that ruled the president wasn’t authorized to impose emergency tariffs. But Trump has also tangled during both of his terms with Chief Justice John Roberts over the president's criticism of judges ruling against him. Roberts has responded without naming Trump that personal hostility against judges "is dangerous and it's got to stop." No sitting president has previously attended a Supreme Court argument. Trump had previously considered attending the tariff argument, but he decided against it. Trump’s attendance would be unprecedented. Former President Richard Nixon appeared as a lawyer before the high court. William Howard Taft served as president before joining the court as chief justice. And former President John Quincy Adams, who was then serving in the House, argued the Amistad case before the high court in 1841.

What's the over/under for him interrupting the proceedings? His filter seems to be broken lately, along with the rest if his mind.

pure dictator horsefeathers

Reminder that during the 2010s Trump actively marketed to Rich Russian Oligarch families to come stay at his Miami properties to have babies so they would have dual citizenship. His wife also had her parents become citizens through chain migration

Imagine calling the refs fools and then showing up to argue your own foul peak courtroom drama energy right there.

Just wait until he finds out this court doesn’t feature fast food. He’ll be bigly upset.

He thought "oral" meant something different so he's showing up for it! My guess is that he's not going to understand what is even being said today and will fall asleep. Was he up late last night insane "tweeting" ?

Nap time for the old goat.

The justices are among the only people in the country with actual power over Trump. He isn’t going to intimidate these guys - he’s just going to end up falling asleep and making an ass of himself.

Oder in the court!

Turd will try to intimidate. Moron

So he’s just gonna glare and then nap in court?

No president in history has ever had this much access to the SCOTUS… it’s f****** insane they hear his every insane whim

I say he's intimidating the Supreme Court

These fools gave Trump unlimited power. Now they have lost their authority. Checks and balances are gone. Welcome US, to your dictatorship. The republic is dead.

He already left 🤣

A dark day for the rule of law. History will record this as another extreme attempt to intimidate by the absolute worst president of all time. As a result no future presidents will likely ever consider attending a supreme court argument because of the terrible precedent that’s been set.

Is he trying to intimidate them with his snoring?

He’s not lol

This makes him look weak and vulnerable.

I hope he shits himself egregiously and all his justices have to experience the reality of the stink that hangs around their robes.

Arrest for Contempt of Supreme Court

The fact that Trump is calling his own appointees "fools" and "an embarrassment to their families" really shows his complete disregard for judicial independence. When even the justices you handpicked won't bow to your authoritarian demands, maybe the problem is you, not them.

This feels more like an intimidation tactic

Lifetime appointments, them’s the breaks, Donald. Of course, I’m sure he started to think about how to change that the second Coney Barrett ruled against him way back last year. They gave him too much power, I honestly don’t care if he fires them all. Well, all except the zealot, the grifter, and the drunk. He likes them.

Hope he brings his nappy time pillow, or maybe one of those airplane neck things

For the very first time in history! Previous presidents wouldn't want the appearance of impropriety. King Pedo needs to project dominance on "his court" as he's stated on numerous occasions, exists in a constant state of impropriety and is the best the GOP has to offer.

Totally normal President. Not weird at all.

He won’t show he just wanted this headline and they gave it to him.

Maybe he thinks the smell will persuade them

Yeah- this is so normal.

Well now is the chance for Alito to show what an absolute shitbag he is during his dissent ramble. Look this whole case is a chance for the supreme court to prove they are "independent" by making the obvious choice. Except for one or two of them who leap at the chance to grovel.

I’m surprised he hasn’t spent more time in there. Cameras aren’t allowed so he could have had so many naps and wake up sharts uninterrupted

This is the bed the conservatives on the court made for themselves

Imagine if his bought and paid for justices actually took insult to him making a showy mockery of their courtroom. Just imagine it

He thinks he’s a mobster, so he’s employing the “Frank Pentangeli’s Brother” Gambit.

This should be considered intimidation.

Whose brother is he bringing in with him?

Was there the day of Gorsuch’s investiture, as one of the aides behind the bench. Cheeto Benito couldn’t even stay awake that time, and that was years ago. The dementia has had most of a decade to eat at him since then. And also, oh god, oh dear god. There was already this pungent cloud of STENCH surrounding him. I was 30 feet away and it was literally eye watering.

Never forget, Donald Trump rapes children.

Him being there is enough reason to rule against him.

He should be in a courtroom, but a criminal court where he is the defendant.

Like a mafioso trying to intimidate judges, supreme court judges no less. You know which head of state also acts like a gangster? His boss Putin. This mofo needs to be impeached and tried for treason

Good. They must feel pretty above the pressure right now. Anything to widen the divide.

I hope they specifically join liberals in dissenting lmao

Just a sign of how ineffective, low energy and low effort Trump is regarding the immigration issue. With the presidency, majority in the House and the Senate, and an ideologically-aligned 6-3 supreme court majority, Trump and his administration Republican allies have passed zero meaningful immigration update legislation. No proposed laws, no reforms, no *debate* on immigration in Congress. The border security bipartisan agreement in 2024 was scuttled by Trump, and no replacement has been even discussed. So sure, go scowl, pout and snooze at the Supreme Court for a day, Trump. It's almost the absolute least he could do, all things considered.

He thinks they've forgotten their Master face

I wonder if he'll let Roberts sit on his lap?

He’s going g to try to sit on the bench isn’t he?

He won't go, he's too lazy

This article both makes it sound like this already occurred, while also being something that’s forthcoming.

He's the fool. Like by definition.

ughhhh. he is going to go there and do his dumb f****** scowl.

Please let him argue his case. It would be hilarious.

i love this for john roberts.

This is why John Mulvaney was there?

what happens when he poops and no one can breath?

Purely intimidation against the attorneys and he'll stare at the justices asking questions. Does he really have nothing better to do?

Aaahhh....the art of making enemies, and NOT getting what you want. Trump always attacks those are who weaker than him, but I hope that the Supreme Court does have a spine.

Scowls... falls asleep... Scowls... falls asleep... Scowls... falls asleep...

I'm sure they'll love it.

Surprised he’s not sending ice to the court

Peerless and sparkling before confirmation, fools after failing the loyalty test.

The same foolish SC that granted you get-out-jail-free for all crimes you commit in office.

What’s trump going to do? Those are life time tenure placements. It’s not like he can fire them OR remove them and place someone else.

Does anyone think "his justices" have picked up that Dump loyalty goes only one way?

The one group he cannot intimidate because even though he appointed 3 of them, they have lifetime appointments. I would thoroughly enjoy if this stunt alienates some of them.

How many Dump supporters remember teaching their children to respect each other and never to "call people names?" Dump is the worst example of Boomer bullshit. If he acted this way as a child of one of his supporters, he would be whipped or beat, grounded, and punished for some duration. He may very well get his mouth filled with soap. My parents were boomers and I received those punishments for actions far more innocent than what Dump has been doing and saying in public. Where is your outrage now boomers? Is everything you taught us no longer applicable? Do you stand behind your decisions to use violence against helpless children for stupid decisions or word usage? Yes? Then explain why you tollerate far worse behavior from your president. Boomers, next time you say the world (meaning USA to them) has descended into depravity, ask yourselves, what is acceptable behavior? And, why does Dump get a pass?

Only countries that give birth right citizenship based on jus soli. - United States - Canada - Mexico - Most of the Caribbean: e.g., Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago - Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Venezuela, Colombia (and most of South America) - Pakistan - Fiji Most nations agree that one parent must be a citizen for their child to also be granted citizenship.

"Fools"? You hired them you idiot.
