On Truth Social, he wrote Monday, The supreme court (will be using lower case letters for a while based on a complete lack of respect!) of the United States accidentally and unwittingly gave me, as President of the United States, far more powers and strength than I had prior to their ridiculous, dumb, and very internationally divisive ruling.
He added, For one thing, I can use Licenses to do absolutely 'terrible' things to foreign countries, especially those countries that have been RIPPING US OFF for many decades, but incomprehensibly, according to the ruling, cant charge them a License fee - BUT ALL LICENSES CHARGE FEES, why cant the United States do so? You do a license to get a fee! The opinion doesnt explain that, but I know the answer! The court has also approved all other Tariffs, of which their [sic] are many, and they can all be used in a much more powerful and obnoxious way, with legal certainty, than the Tariffs as initially used.
He then fired off another smear, writing, Our incompetent supreme court did a great job for the wrong people, and for that they should be ashamed of themselves (but not the Great Three!). The next thing you know they will rule in favor of China and others, who are making an absolute fortune on Birthright Citizenship, by saying the 14th Amendment was NOT written to take care of the babies of slaves, which it was as proven by the EXACT TIMING of its construction, filing, and ratification, which perfectly coincided with the END OF THE CIVIL WAR. How much better can you do than that?
But this supreme court will find a way to come to the wrong conclusion, one that again will make China, and various other Nations, happy and rich. Let our supreme court keep making decisions that are so bad and deleterious to the future of our Nation - I have a job to do. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP, he concluded.

If Biden made even the tiniest of errors in speaking, it was the end of civilization, he was unfit for office....meanwhile, this ass clown spews lies and nonsensical raving 24/7 and they act like it's completely normal.
We live in the worst timeline.

"a guy on a street corner shouting nonsense."
This goes back to my earlier "How could it possibly be a good idea for the SCOTUS to attend Trump's SOTU address" post.
A 79 year old man on social media explaining how one of the ways he intends to "punish" the Supreme Court is to refer to them in lower-case letters.
There's no label for this other than "MENTAL ILLNESS," whether it's Alzheimers, Dementia, whatever medical term is appropriate, the man is proudly parading his mental illness for all to see.

(17,463 posts)capitalize things they shouldnt, like tariffs licenses, nations, license, birthright citizenship. They dont capitalize things that should be capitalized. Like the Supreme Court (which the post at least admits is intentionally done). Im not even complaining about the cap phrases. I get why people do that. But they use them incorrectly all the time!
And by the way, his rant about birthright citizenship is very rich, because one of his properties was known for pregnancy vacations for the Russians. Russian women were sent to the US to give birth so that their babies would have passports. A hotspot for that was Palm Beach.
I am quite in favor of birthright citizenship for every Hispanic, Latino, African, European, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Caribbean, etc. whose parents just happens to be here for whatever reason.
Im a little queasy about two countries, Russia and China, both strategic long-term thinkers, who have quite possibly been using it as a plan for future dirty tricks. They may be just creating a pool of future infiltrators, its problematic.
If the kid is raised in the US, hopefully their cultural upbringing (in US public schools??) would inoculate them from becoming weapons of espionage, but these days it is going to be too easy to avoid exposure to American ideals and community. There was also that sad case in Canada of the Russian spies whose two boys were born and raised in Canada, subsequently discovered to be spies when their kids were college age. Terrible thing to do to ones own child.
