Later, during a petulant news conference, Trump lambasted the Court’s Democratic appointees as a “disgrace to our nation,” and assailed other “politically correct” Justices, presumably including two of the three he had appointed, for being “fools and lapdogs for the RINOs and the radical left Democrats.” Of the Justices who disagreed with him, Trump said, “They’re very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution,” and are swayed by “foreign interests.” This is, perhaps, not the best strategy for dealing with a branch that is not only coequal but whose members possess lifetime tenure.
