The 1 big thing Donald Trump *still* doesn't get about the Supreme Court

 President Donald Trump sees the world in a very black-and-white way: There are people who love him and people who don't. Or, put another way: There are people who are loyal to him and those who are always out to get him.

It's a deeply simplistic way to think of life and the people in it. It's also hugely selfish, always believing that every action -- and equal and opposite reaction -- are all about you, and how people feel about you.

 

 

"These horrible & politically charged decisions coming out of the Supreme Court are shotgun blasts into the face of people that are proud to call themselves Republicans or Conservatives. We need more Justices or we will lose our 2nd. Amendment & everything else. Vote Trump 2020!"

And for good measure, added this: "Do you get the impression that the Supreme Court doesn't like me?"

Me, me, me, me.

What Trump fails to understand -- and has never understood -- is that the Supreme Court doesn't work for him.

Yes, he appointed Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh to their current seats. But that doesn't guarantee him their loyalty. They pledge allegiance to the law, not to Donald Trump.
