After his executive order targeting birthright citizenship fell flat in front of a mostly skeptical Supreme Court, Donald Trump accused his political opponents of “playing the ref” through the courts to overturn his threat to the 14th Amendment.

“The Radical Left SleazeBags, which has no cards remaining in its illegal bag of tricks, is, in a very coordinated manner, PLAYING THE REF with regard to the United States Supreme Court,” Trump wrote.

“They lost the Election in a landslide, and with it, have totally lost their confidence and reason. They are stone cold CRAZY! I hope the Supreme Court doesn’t fall for the games they play,” he added.

In a separate post, written in all-caps, he claimed the nation’s high court is “BEING PLAYED BY THE RADICAL LEFT LOSERS” whose “ONLY HOPE IS THE INTIMIDATION OF THE COURT, ITSELF.”

1. Is there no cure for this disease?

It's not only him, but for those who don't see the threat he is to themselves.
...maybe something in the water......?

What will be the last straw?
What will finally open their eyes?

2. Like I said,

he's good at MAKING threats.

3. I'm imagining the not so thinly veiled threats the congressman who voted against the bill today and committee

Will be getting over the weekend

4. He's learning that he doesn't own the three justices he appointed

and he's losing his shit over it. He expected to win all the Supreme Court cases from now on, but only those corrupt old farts Alito and Thomas, whom he did not appoint, are still in the tank for him. Maybe that's because they're corrupt.

5. What's would stop the next president giving an executive order banning assault rifles or

the second amendment?

6. My Gawd, this is not the language of a U.S. President.

The "Radical Left Sleezebags" are valuable citizens of this country. He may not like them, but he should never forget he is president of the whole country.

7. Such a good point...

and an obvious one (to some of us).

9. Except, yes it is. And other countries would be smart to recognize it's not a trustworthy country.
