Discussion for article #244794
I wish I could simply make shit up like this and get away with it…
He’s right about Roberts but for all the wrong reasons.
The Supreme Court Judges are supposed to be impartial. (even though we all know they’re not)
Donald seems to believe they’re supposed to pick sides and stick with them.
He’s a dumbass.
I think Trump actually believes a president can remove the CJSCOTUS.
He’s nasty.
He’s an abuser.
He’s weak.
He’s an absolute disaster.
The guy may not be fully aware, but he keeps so busy talking about himself…
It it smart to alienate the Supreme Court before an election?
Seem to remember they had some saying in the outcome of contested general elections earlier…
I’ve become addicted to these “popcorn moments”. At the end of the day, when Trump and Cruz are sleeping, and I have had my fill of every crazy thing they have said or done, I start to go through withdrawal. I could barely wait for Cruz and Trump to go after each other and take the crazy up a notch or two. I think I am going to need some kind of rehab when this is all over.
"Cruz fought like hell to get Justice Roberts in there," Trump said.
I think Roberts was confirmed by the Senate at least six years before Cruz got there.
It’s the kitchen sink time for Trump. Either he kills Cruz…or he gets killed. He’s forcing the Republican base into a preemptive decision.
"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! "
Facts don’t matter, remember?
Roberts took his seat on the Supremes bench in September 2005. Cruz took his seat in the Senate in January 2013, more than seven years later.
Trump just stepped on his dick here, and gave Cruz an opening to hit him over the head. Trump is much better when he sticks to content- and fact-free jibes about somebody’s energy and footwear. Once he tries to get specific, he’s completely out of his comfort zone.
You’re too kind, navamske. Seven plus a few weeks, actually.
let us hope it is his and not our doom
To Trump, neither do such trivialities as the Law, Due Process, Congressional Legislation, etc. In fact, to Trump, even reality doesn’t matter.
Reality is for losers, Trump has a youuuge imagination to match his ego. All the greatest qualities to make Trump the greatest president never elected.
Exactly. Roberts was nominated and confirmed before Cruz got to the Senate. And every Republican in the Senate voted for the guy. To pin Roberts on Cruz is delusional.
Trump just says whatever comes into his head, without any regard for whether it’s true. And to claim that, from the Republicans’ point of view, Roberts has been an “absolute disaster” is just ridiculous. As usual, Trump knows nothing about whatever he’s talking about.
PLUS he said he may bring suit against Cruz’ citizenship. That would undoubtedly end before SCOTUS. Way to screw yourself Donald.
Trump was probably on the toilet when he let that one go… No aide around to fact check him.
