"President Trump's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day began with two major economic reports falling flat, and while meeting with the governors of America, this country's premier pissbaby learned that the Supreme Court struck down his manifestly unconstitutional tariffs. It's a remarkable demonstration of how SCOTUS believes that Trump can trample democracy and even the courts themselves, but the oligarchic neoliberal order that the Court has always served as its ultimate master still lies beyond his reach."
"Not long after SCOTUS handed down their 6-3 decision, Trump called for a press conference at 12:45 EST. In true Trump fashion, he didn't show up until around 1:15, and he came out fuming-'do not put in the paper that I am mad'-level mad. Trump unleashed a barrage of unhinged grievances that could only emanate from the demented worldview trapped inside his sundowning brain. Here are the highlights of Trump at his most Brandon."
"He was looking down when he said this quote I instantly knew had to be in the title, and I really really really want to know if that was something Trump improvised, or if Stephen Miller actually wrote that down in one of his deranged Nazi screeds. This press conference was all so unhinged, and yet again I am tapping the sign with the bloody stump that is my finger now,"
Two major economic reports came in weak, compounding political trouble. The Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision striking down presidential tariffs as unconstitutional. Trump convened a midday press conference, arrived roughly 30 minutes late, and spoke angrily. His remarks mixed conciliatory phrasing like "I want to be a good boy" with extreme declarations such as "I'm allowed to destroy the country." The press conference included sustained grievances, insults aimed at elites and media, and rhetorical excesses. Broader constraints from global trade networks and the Federal Reserve limit unilateral economic disruption despite aggressive executive impulses.
