Donald Trump’s reaction to the Supreme Court smacking down his signature initiative upset “all nine” justices and will give the conservative high court “more freedom” to defy the president’s wishes in upcoming cases, according to a Republican strategist.
Appearing on MS NOW’s PoliticsNation this weekend, Republican strategist Susan del Percio, who has a history of working with Republican candidates and in Rudy Giuliani’s administration, was asked if Trump’s response to the Supreme Court would fly with the nation’s highest jurists. Trump said he was ashamed and disappointed with Republicans who ruled against him, and said they lacked courage and loyalty.
Asked, “Will this pass with them?” the GOP insider replied, “I don’t think so.”
She then continued:
“I mean, I’m just reminded of the old saying, you never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel. So if you fast forward it to 2026, it’s why would he pick this fight with the Supreme Court when there’s so many other cases in front of it? And frankly, I think it gives the Supreme Court now more chance to, more freedom, to feel less beholden to Donald Trump because this is upsetting. This upsets all nine of them. No one likes to see the president do this. Frankly, I’d like to see all nine decide not to go to the state of the union on Tuesday.”
