Though SCOTUS has done its best to avoid ruling on Trump’s malfeasance so far, it now has to decide specifically what he can and can’t do as the constitution defines. What makes us a Republic not a monarchy? @normeisen.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social

I'm surprised the Roberts court hasn't added "Thank you for your attention to this matter" to its mandates.

Unfortunately, I think they do. Terrible for the rest of us.

I believe he believes it's true.

These tariffs are just added sales tax imposed on Americans to offset revenue that Republicans under Trump handed over to their billionaire backers. Clearly just stealing our healthcare and children's school lunches wasn't enough.

Wait until he tries to fire one of them. And we know which one that would be.

Weekend at Bernie's could be reality.

They did kinda bring it on themselves by giving the president blanket immunity….

Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are all sitting and wagging their tails. I don't like that signal!

You forgot Roberts and Coney Barrett

They're only 90% reliable, so they're back in Fed Soc obedience school.

Clots and prayers trump

THEY SAID THE TARIFFS WERE ILLEGAL FELON TRUMP!!! x.com/Piyanuch_Mod...

Supreme Court will always side with Trump they are MAGA and are in on this too! Biden should have added members to this Supreme Court! Presently they are an absolute joke and can’t be trusted to do the right thing!

"Thank you for your attention to this matter." I hate whoever put that stupid phrase into his head. Also, shove it.

I think the SCOTUS is already aware of that fact and doesn’t care.

We must put the most "corrupt 6" on notice, we will not stand for them to over rule the 7 judges.

No tariffs have been ruled illegal by a court of law They aren't in limbo pending a ruling They are illegal He is robbing us blind A 7 member court has unanimously ruled they are illegal trump cannot over rule their decision by posting his dribble

BUT: Step 1 - continue to collect tariffs while appealing to the SC Step 2 - SC issues a shadow docket decision saying "We'll give you our decision next June, but it's ok to carry on until then" Because anything he does as POTUS is presumptively legal, even the facially illegal shit.

A Reagan, Obama and Trump appointed judges rules on this

Waiting on Gavin Newsom's response!👏

Will they lower themselves to the occasion?

Maybe it would have been best to FO before you FA, Bloatus.

Especially when half of them are responsible for this mess

RIGHT ?!

“Treated like” or being?

I think they’re just fine with it

SCOTUS staff members are already drafting the Yes Your Highness ruling.

I guess I thought if we ever had a dictator it would be someone smart, cunning and charismatic. Now we have this assclown and that somehow makes it worse.

Agree 💯 he’s more a banal reflection of the worst of us than a diabolical mastermind

He doesn't compose these posts. His Handlers do. He can't read and especially write.

Completely agree. We were lied to by our dystopian novels.

Evil genius, so much more fun than an evil moron.

Too bad he’s not a genius

But really we’re getting the evil dictator we deserve. Stupid evil for a stupid evil group of supporters.

Do all of us really deserve this tho? I didn’t vote for that orange slug. Can’t imagine what I could have done in a past live to deserve this.

I have too many thoughts for a skeet.

No, obvi.

Trump is quite boring in his way, though (see: "Thank you for your attention to this matter" or the roughly 3 adjectives/insults he overuses), so he'd not have been a compelling dystopian novel antagonist.

Evil is boring.

I’m sooo tired. Boring would be a nice change.

I agree. I definitely expected a higher caliber villain. This one is a lot like kudzu. Hard to eradicate, but if you don’t it will bring down the house.

He’s like a virus you can’t get rid of. Think shingles.

My mom had that recently and it was excruciating. Kinda like this regime.

Exactly

More like herpes.

You were reading my mind. But I didn’t want to get too crass. Lmbo🤣

The "human" (and I use that term loosely) version of a painful rash.

Hitler wasn't smart either he was still a stupid man child. Mussolini was weird incel teacher.

Solid analysis 👆🏻

They got what they paid for, and vice-versa.

They deserve him We don't

This does not sound like Trump. Pale imitation. Someone else manning the Truth Social feed during Trump's health crisis. Probably Bessent or Miller. Maybe Lutnick.

Oh, they do.

He didn’t type any of that.

The GOP Justices are Trump butthole sniffers in robes.

How can he be SO FUCKING STUPID? We were doing pretty well before tariffs. Now all the consumers paying for them are draining their bank accounts to pay for shit.

Years of practice

Under Roberts, they fucking allowed it 🤬

I can hardly wait to see Newsom’s comms dept post about this🤔😊

Hmmmm I notice he’s not using all caps to post lately. What could possibly have happened to change that?@governor.ca.gov

Felon scrambles amid world-wide embarrassment, again

He did not write this. I think he’s dead

VP JD Vance said he is prepared to step in if “a terrible tragedy” were to befall Trump, while emphasizing that Trump is “in incredibly good health” and brimming with “incredible energy.

… many are saying

One can hope.

Farmers are literally plowing over perfectly good tomato fields in Florida because, 1. Tariffs and 2. No one to pick them. 🤦🏻‍♀️

And the silent republican majority.

Ginny does for sure . . .

Tariffs were so bad the last two times they were tried that they caused recessions, but this time they will be great (bigly). The orange felon is a moron

This is ... illegal, right? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...

Trump's calling right, for once.

Is THIS the ultimate Supreme Ct test of whether Civil Service Act violates the first sentence of Constitution's Art. II, which per unitary executive theory precludes any Congressional check on executive authority re congressionally created exec branch agencies? www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

They’ve answered that question. They eagerly lap up latest grotesquerie he serves. Blue States should ignore SCOTUS at this point. Abuses of power, conferring of monarchical authority & brazen violation of constitutional liberties demonstrate contract among states is broken. CA should bounce.

🚨🚨tariff taxes REDUCE REVENUES gained from other taxes (because they take money away from US businesses and workers; so there's less income to be taxed!)... so, OF COURSE they AREN'T going to help the deficit! 🤦🤦

dementia donny regularly confuses the trade deficits with our budget deficit; his fake emergency executive orders are causing the real harm to our economy

🚩🇺🇸 Idiotic, overly-excessive import taxes do NOT help Americans prosper. #TariffTaxes are NOT ADDITIVE on balance; they reduce economic activity - REDUCING REVENUES; so they will NOT somehow reduce the US deficit; that #ToothFairyMath is trump's #VooDooEconomics.

Does he really believe this?

Why in effect until Oct 14?

To give time for appeal to Supreme Court.

Is that customary?

I don’t know. I do know that the tariffs collected all have to be paid back. They probably were worried about the mess created if the tariffs were to be stopped and started again. Paying them back is going to be a huge endeavor, to put it mildly.

so like he cant say that right? the supreme court is above his command?

ARREST TRUMP NOW ! ARREST THE SUPREME COURT NOW! ARREST THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE HOUSE & SENATE NOW!! THEY HAVE PROVEN BEYOND ANY DOUBT TO BE TREASONOIUS TO THE CONSTITUTION & THE PEOPLE!! THIS IS WHAT MUST BE DONE NOW ! CALL YOUR REP, TELL THEM IT'S TIME TO GET THE MILITARY INVOLVED !!

Is he thanking in advance, Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney Barrett?

SCrOTUS

This message was brought to you by Ron Vara, Trump’s tariff czar: www.nytimes.com/2019/10/16/u...

Translation: Iwill continue doing,what I want,when I want, whatever I want,and THE SUPREME COURT will do whatever I tell them to do.

He STILL doesn’t know what tariffs are…

If the tariffs go away, it cuts out a major source of bribes for him, could cut his grifting income by up to 4%.

Trump means if it stands it will destroy the United States of America. Supreme Court needs to stand behind this ruling. Let’s see what they do.

That is what they asked for when they gave him near total immunity.

I mean. But they are. They have proven to be.

It’s lapdog (Trump=Putin’s) to lapdog (Roberts=Trump’s).

Either Trump doesn't understand how tariffs work or he's lying. Tariffs are NOT paid by the countries upon which they're imposed. Tariffs are paid by American companies that import goods from those countries. They pass those costs on to their consumers. But Trump still bloviates about them.

The Court should decide whether they are with the human race or with Trump, because it can't be both. For the human race to survive and prosper long term, the rule of law is required. There is no emergency. Tariffs are an enumerated power of congress. There is no exception anywhere for Trump.

Yes. And. Climate crisis.

When the tariffs go away and the country doesn't collapse it will prove all of Trump's BS was just that, Bull Shit.

This Is A Clear Overreach By A Criminal! This Power Lies With Our Pathetic Congress!

They're partners. There's no pet/owner dynamic. Just a bunch of rich fanatics determined to extinguish democracy.

They're used to it by now 🫩

Love Norm Eisen

Lies,lies and more lies 🤳

American-made products, like his caps, are made in China.

“the United States of America will win in the end”To this I ask what is the eternal prize so grand that we destroy relations with a vast majority of humanity, and if we win in “the end” what’s the point? What happens after “the end”? I’d prefer small successes enjoyed by the multitudes daily.

Appealing to SCOTUS on his own behalf via Truth Social, I expect issuance of a shadow docket decision (6-3) by the end of the day Monday overturning today's appellate court ruling. A 6-3 SCOTUS doesn't have to observe, or agree with, the existence of Labor Day as a federal holiday. Happy Mr Roberts?

Did I miss something, did this already go to SCOTUS for a ruling, or is he ruling on it himself now and taking over the court?

Exactly. Remind people of this He os trying to over ruled the court Screw him

No. 2

He's giving his SCROTUS their marching orders.

We need to warn the corrupt 6....they better do the right thing

Lol, I usually say SCROTUMS

I like yours better

😂

I wonder if they (SCOTUS) are at least slightly embarrassed about how the world sees them as weak cowardly traitors?

FUPOTUS

They must enjoy it . They've been curled up there for more than 10 years.

Ain’t no way Trump wrote this. Stephen Hitler did.

They love it ! They want him to be king the fools

Wrong ASSHAT Don, it's UNIONS THAT MAKE THE AMERICAN WORKER STRONG.

Funny. We didn’t have his ridiculous tariffs for decades and America wasn’t destroyed then so why would we think it would be now?

that's what the Heritage Foundation is paying them to do htf else could anyone POSSIBLY justify the immunity ruling????

It's pretty clear they do.

who writes this drivel? trump isn't smart enough to think of any of this shit, evil enough, sure, but he doesn't know the laws and breaks them daily - JFC. Also, RELEASE THE TRUMP EPSTEIN FILES. Also, RELEASE THE TRUMP EPSTEIN FILES. Also, RELEASE THE TRUMP EPSTEIN FILES. Also, RELEASE THE FILES.

Dear Donald.....Vance is breathing down your neck and these tariffs are tanking with Americans....

Sir Samuel will make sure his dear leader gets the win.

SCOTUS needs to open an "express" office and go 24/7 for the length of Trump's term.

They seem to.

He didn’t write that. He couldn’t even think that coherently.

Hmmm..."Now, with the help of the United States Supreme Court..." sure sounds awfully suspicious to me.

Oh, they're used to it by now. Sycophantic Court of the United States

Another test to confirm if we are living in a fascist state. 50/50 chance they fold is where I land

Im going 80-20 they fold. If not 90-10.

They approve of everything this fool does! They’re part of the corruption

They made their bed. How were they supposed to know how deeply uncomfortable it would be?

Not looking forward to his third term.

Well, Trump knows he has six MAGA Nazis on the Supreme Court who are working to overthrow the US Constitution. Two of them are outright, violent enemies of the American Republic.

All six of them are! Two of them are just brazenly open in their evil and corruption. The other four still try to cloak theirs in an unconvincing air of respectability.

SCOTUS is Trump’s doormat.

Could we gift him a copy of "Hooked on Economics?" He seems to lack some basic economic education.

Roberts court deserves this.

The term “lapdog” is way too kind, and my chiweenie would like to submit a formal objection.

#withalttext (I cut the picture, not the text)

The Supreme Courtiers

I think they’re there for it. All in.

Bet you that was written by Miller.

He didn’t write that.

He does have a ghost writer like all politicians do. His can even sound like 47. The guy is young (one of Musks tech tribe I believe). When the posts make sense, it's likely guaranteed 47 didn't write them.

The flow is too cohesive for one of his rants that are that long.

Yeah, this is definitely Stephen Miller writing this.

How John Roberts gets his instructions

Oh good. More of the Supreme Court crap to look forward to. Thanks John Roberts for destroying democracy.

The evil 6. 666666.

SCOTUS should decline to hear it, but we know Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and the beer guy will grant cert.

#SCROTUS #TrumpsBitches

He's been MIA all day. I find it hard to believe he wrote this response.. Thinking his puppeteer Miller authored this post ( why change now)

They sure seem to

None of them have any shame in their campaign to kill democracy.

This prick could give a fuck about the workers. One day the workers will pull him from his Whorehouse and give him the Mussolini treatment. God bless the lamp post that is coming to him.

Captain Bone Spurs is an absolute incompetent fool.

They should. They are.

King orange the ignorant rules again

Bad timing on that announcement for Canada. Now the NA child is going to dig in his heels again and start harassing our negotiators about dairy AGAIN I find it funny that he admits tre only reason he applied tariffs is that the US is weak without them A weakness created by his tax cuts

Yes he's an impulsive ignorant child-he's just the trojan horse that the true authoritarian cadre of Peter Thiel, Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Curtis Yarvin et al have used to create dictatorial power in the executive branch.They dont care if the economy dies.They will rule a nuclear banana republic

I know. The whole thing is absurd really. These clowns who get support from the anti-global, anti-elites who make their money precisely because of their elitist global reach. Truly the thinking of a 13 yo who believes he’s a mastermind. Theil isn’t a toddler but he’s an prepubescent

Our best hope is still a dark one- Free nations like Canada hold firm long enough to reorganize global economy independent of the US,while we fragment into a divided nation.Poor red states embrace white nationalist authoritarianism.Economically sound blue states wont.-the military will be involved

Six of them love it

You 6 MEDIOCRE REPTILE BRAINED Republicans on SCOTUS~ THE FELON has ORDERED you to IGNORE OUR US CONSTITUTION again (Even though the entire purpose FOR OUR Supreme Court IS to INTERPRET OUR CONSTITUTION on EVERY DECISION THEY MAKE!) & get him get out of LEGAL TROUBLE re: his *ILLEGAL TARIFFS*!

The Supremes better do the right thing. It is unconstitutional.

Sadly, they ARE his lapdog.

The Roberts Six are practicing their gordian knot tying over the Labor Day weekend, hoping to craft a ruling that is Originalist, yet exactly what Trump is requesting.

Well I guess we’re about to find out if the Major Questions doctrine is just some bullshit they trot out to block Dem presidents, or off they’ll allow a president to add billions in taxes by decree

What. A. Fool. Trump's essential misunderstanding of the purpose and utility of tariffs (much like his essential misunderstanding of almost everything else) dooms his actions to ignominy.

Any bets against SCOTUS being the lapdog?

If they hadn’t willingly jumped into his lap, I might be convinced it’s a problem for them. But 🤷🏼‍♀️

"Now, with the help of the United States Supreme court" I WILL GET MY WAY. 🤬

They had it coming.

Who writes this shit?

SCOTUS is stocking up on the KY Jelly

I guess it’s just me, but since the Repugs abandoned the frog analogy where the heat is turned up ever so slowly and replaced it with putting the frog in boiling water from the beginning is changing public awareness. Instead of pretending 1)

the pot of water is a hot tub, we are jumping out, taking notice and fighting back. It’s their obsessive goal to realize Project 2015 in months that is going to bring the entire house of cards crashing down. I sure hope so.

He is unfortunately living in the late 1800,s and early 1900,s in his head!

“Literally destroy the United States of America?” He forgets that we lived in pre-Trump-tariff time.

Everything in this deranged post is the exact opposite of the truth.

They actually do.

As long as they get to keep their power and bribes they don’t care

Also they share the same goal of total subjugation of the citizenry.

Unitary Executive überalles!* *(Invalid if it's a Democrat.)

At what point does this stop? American Grain farmers can’t sell their grain to American whiskey producers because no one is buying their whiskey The farmers and whisky producers are going to go bankrupt The incessant lies have real consequences He is the one destroying America

And China has canceled all their 4Q soybean contracts. ALL of them. They're buying from Argentina now.

My inability to say with 100% confidence that SCOTUS either will refuse to grant certiorari to an appeal of this ruling or to affirm the ruling disappoints me. I don’t believe that this right wing-controlled SCOTUS is committed to telling Americans that the Constitution means what it clearly says.

Because under the guise of originalism it doesn't mean what it says, per SCOTUS. That is the real hoax.

7-4 is "highly partisan" Donald?

“MARSPA”

If the Supremes uphold today's ruling, Trump will have no choice but to ask Congress for the authority to continue his tariff scheme/scam. The last thing Hill Republicans want going into the midterms, however, is an on-the-record vote on tariffs, which are by definition highly inflationary.

Do Justice Roberts and the other conservative justices appreciate that every time they overturn an appellate decision that attempts to rein in the Administration, they may think they are showing they are smarter than the lower courts, but many Americans think it just shows they are in the bag?

Translation: "ALL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT NEED TO MAKE ME FORGET MY FATHER DIDN'T EVER LIKE ME."

It's their job, and unfortunately, they do it willingly!

They ARE his lapdog.

Roberts is comprised somehow by Trump, we just don’t know how.

They are Trump's lapdog.

Oh, I think they do. I’m not so sure how long they will be able to live in their own fantasy world of being Supreme Court Justices - once known as saying what the law is - but it beats being, I guess, the rest of us.

They don’t seem to mind.

As stupid as this writing is im finding it hard to believe Dump wrote it strictly from the fact that it stays on topic. When’s the last time he completed a thot?

What can be done to stop this madman?

“But the court's 7-4 decision tossed out a part of that ruling striking down the tariffs immediately, allowing his administration time to appeal to the Supreme Court” Thoughts on how Cheeto Benito’s back up band will rule?

Something’s off. Too few capital letters.

STFU Steven Miller. Go iron your hat and robe.

What, he can't get his own fucking Congress to impose them legally? What a weak loser.

JOHN ROBERTS...PAGING JOHN ROBERTS...

I think Roberts is getting a little sick of it, but it is ALL HIS fault!

The MAGA 6 on the Supreme Court are all-in on Project 2025 and Trump’s quest to destroy the Constitution and replace it with a dictatorship.

They used the Biden years to coordinate the coup and get their people on board. All of this dizzying chaos was planned.

He pretty much already has.

Give the justices(?) $100 dollars and send them to the grocery store. Enough said.

Don't think he wrote that.

It appears that SCOTUS is thrilled to be 47's lapdog.

Maybe someone should teach him “process”

This is all so shameful. Our country is so in danger. Wake up!

Aren't 6 of them already sitting on his grossly rotund lap?

As long as the benefits and Scooby snacks keep coming, they're dandy with it.

You know he wanted to put this in ALL CAPS so bad!!

They do.

They've gotten paid handsomely for it, they don't have to worry about anything but to continue to rake it in. Corruption just instills more corruption.

They will avoid addressing this issue for as long as they can.

A genuinely awful person

bsky.app/profile/paul...

x.com/Piyanuch_Mod...

They didn't incorrectly say the tariffs should be removed, they CORRECTLY told you they should be removed. Just because you don't like the Judges answer, doesn't make it "incorrectly" Mr. con man. Your a JOKE Donnie, and the World get's to have a good laugh at your expense!!!!!!

Does it count if he doesn't end with an exclamation point?

It's part of the transition to • It Is so decreed •

How else are they going to get their luxury yacht vacations?!?!?

Trump continues his perfect record of not understanding trade economics. If anyone in the cult tries to tell you that the nature and method of his tariffs are anything other than economic growth-killers, they are lying to you, stupid, or both. Unfortunately, the SCOTUS won't save anyone.

It’s like a person missing for 3 days no one seen him. But he goes on truth social and the way it’s written is clearly not trump . The plug thickens

....with the help of the US Supreme Court...could he be any more blatant?!?

They jumped in his lap happily wagging their tails.

It's a cult and they're part of it.

They do!

Would never have thought that #SCOTUS could be neutered by a low IQ con man ... but here we are.

As with most of Trump's posts, it's waaay too much insane TLDR. Here in Canada, we're good ignoring him. #SeparateWays #ElbowsUp

"With the help of the United States Supreme Court"?? Lapdog indeed

Unfortunately, it appears that the majority of them actually are enthusiastically in support of being his lapdog.

They do!

John Roberts' legacy: he gave away almost all power to the executive branch and neutered SCOTUS

I don't think they thought through what happens when an already restive populace can't afford coffee...

I don't think felon wrote this... ???

Tariffs are hurting many businesses
