Want to bet TACO Don will mention the US Supreme Court ruling in his SoTU campaign speech????

Just as President Obama mentioned Citizen's United decision in his speech regarding Foreign interference and contributions in American elections, to which Ass.Justice Samuel Alito mouthed "not true", it became very true.

Fast forward to yesterday and the 6-3 Supreme Court decision that the tariffs Trump has implemented were deemed "Unconstitutional and Illegal", he will surely take swipes at them for that, as he did at his so-called WH Presser. I am sure those MAGAts in attendance will give TACO Don a standing ovation.

I will be eager for the after speech analysis. Anyone else think so?

My guess is he won’t be glad handing Roberts like he did last year, and will spout his determination to use other avenues to impose tariffs without criticizing SCOTUS directly- he is too much of a coward.

It'll be nothing more than a litany of grievances about every perceived insult he ever suffered. He is defined by his limited, childish intellect and malignant narcissism.

I really, really hope the Dems chose to put photos of the Trumpstein victims in their sets and boycott the whole farce.

Bonus if doing so finally triggers the fatal MI/stroke the world is waiting for. 🤞

4. Of course he will, then he'll brag how the ruling will be circumvented, and his tariffs will continue.

Republican sycophants in the chamber will cheer wildly and give him a standing ovation.

5. Why do the justices even attend the SOTU? Thought I read somewhere that years ago they normally did not attend.

10. Did they sit out all the years of Obama and Biden? If so, then Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson should sit out trumps.

He'll throw massive shade at the them.

He'll also be peak flaming asshole on EVERYTHING. High as a coked-up squirrel.
