Whitehouse on Trump’s attacks on Leonard Leo: This whole thing is hysterical… The fact that Trump is furious with him right now may signal a dawning realization: that he actually might not have truly chosen his Supreme Court appointees.

Yet it’s working out pretty good for him, and terribly for the rest of us.

Trump isn't behind the vast majority of the actions he takes. He's an actor playing a reality TV version of the president who was hired by the biggest right-wing billionaires in the world. We're not watching the destruction of democracy, that happened decades ago. We're watching a clown show.

Trump is now lashing out because it appears that the justices chosen by Leo, who lied to the American people in their hearings in order to receive lifetime appointments, are unwilling to ignore the Constitution to facilitate his takeover.
