President Donald Trump wasted no time in responding to the Supreme Court’s two rulings that ultimately his taxes must be handed over to a New York prosecutor and likely to Congress. The court’s rulings, regardless of outcomes, are a block against unlimited presidential power.
“Courts in the past have given “broad deference”. BUT NOT ME!” Trump cried.
“Not fair,” he added.
Trump wasn’t finished. Moments later he seemed to conflate the Supreme Court’s rulings – which some say are a win for him int hat ultimately he can run out the clock with them until after the election – with the lie that the Obama administration “spied” on him, and another lie, that the Mueller investigation was a “hoax.”
Nothing in these tweets is true:
UPDATE:
After nearly an hour in which the President was hammered by social media users objecting to his remarks, the above tweets were deleted and replaced with these, a trick Trump uses when responses are overwhelmingly negative.
