Re: Trump's "hot mic" episode after his non-SOTU.
Sure, they meant clear, but, even if they didn't, it wasn't EVER unclear.
You done laughing?Later on Wednesday night the president took to Truth Social to offer up an explanation for his gratitude.
“The Fake ‘Play the Ref’ News, in order to create a divide between me and our great U.S. Supreme Court, heard me say last night, loudly and openly as I was walking past the Justices on the way to the podium, ‘thank you,’ to Chief Justice John Roberts,” Trump wrote.
“Like most people, I don’t watch Fake News CNN or MSDNC, but I understand they are going ‘crazy’ asking what is it that I was thanking Justice Roberts for?”
Trump claimed neither outlet “called my office to ask,” but said “if they had I would have told these sleazebag ‘journalists’ that I thanked him for SWEARING ME IN ON INAUGURATION DAY, AND DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB IN SO DOING!
Daily Beast
"Won't forget it" - that was about doing a "really good job" swearing him in?
Number one: You shouldn't be thanking the Court for doing anything other than their job, which is to decide cases of law on the merits and legal precedence.Roberts was one of only four justices in attendance for Trump’s speech. In it, Trump thanked the court for helping achieve his goal of ending diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs—an apparent reference to its 2023 ruling ending affirmative action in college admissions.
Number two: Where were Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas? I can understand why Jackson and Sotomayor didn't show, but where were Trump's other three buddies?
Number three: Has Trump been told the Court ruled against him on withholding USAID contract payments the next day? And...
Number four: Did you see Amy Coney Barrett's look when Trump thanked Roberts?
Click that picture and watch. Kavanaugh looks kinda disappointed, too.
