Kim Jong Don fails to realize that John Roberts' ego most likely dwarfs his own, and he's not one of his Cabinet toadies

John Roberts has meticulously crafted this sort of benign Buddha "aw, shucks" smiling nice sixty-something dude who always buys cookies from the Girl Scouts when he walks by their table with his security detail.

I'd say he's as bad as Sammy and Clarence...they're just less self-conscious about showing their venom.

And I may be going out on a limb here, but when Trump stamps his little 68 year old frat boy feet and issues a fatwa to the SCOTUS saying "Don't forget, you work for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," Roberts...perhaps passive-aggressively...makes a mental note of it for the next time Trump needs to be bailed out by the SCOTUS. AND, of COURSE, Roberts CAUSED a lot of what's going on right now with the "TOTAL IMMUNITY" anointing.

HERE'S THE ARTICLE:

Trump likely blew it with Supreme Court over 'incomprehensible' meltdown: expert

A decision by Donald Trump to flip out on Truth Social and unload on a close associate of multiple Supreme Court justices will likely come back to haunt him.

That is according to Politico's Senior Legal Affairs correspondent Josh Gerstein who told the hosts on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the president may have obliterated a great deal of SCOTUS good will he could count on when he called conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo a "sleazebag."

After Trump tariff war was put on a temporary pause on Thursday, he turned to his Truth Social account to post an extraordinarily long and vicious attack on Leo as well as the Federalist Society which is home to a wide array of conservative attorneys and judges.

In part, the president wrote, "I was new to Washington, and it was suggested that I use The Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges. I did so, openly and freely, but then realized that they were under the thumb of a real 'sleazebag' named Leonard Leo, a bad person who, in his own way, probably hates America, and obviously has his own separate ambitions. He openly brags how he controls Judges, and even Justices of the United States Supreme Court — I hope that is not so, and don’t believe it is! In any event, Leo left The Federalist Society to do his own 'thing.'"

According to Gerstein, Trump will come to regret the attack.
