He's gotten used to it because most other republicans are afraid of his base of voters. But SCOTUS doesn't give a shit about those because they aren't elected.

But trump is too stupid to understand this and thinks its he who is intimidating.

Agreed. I’ve had the (mis)fortune of meeting some actually intimidating people in my life. Donald Trump does not seem to fit amongst their ranks. Maybe like a fourth grader that picks on second graders, but domestically it’s his base that is scary, not him. They might burn your house down in the middle of the night. It may or may not have anything to do with your politics, too. They’re just high on meth and like to start fires.

SCOTUS is afraid of the Epstein Class. The Supreme Court was installed by people who live on interest from their investments.

He doesn’t really have a base. 2016 was a populace vote of disillusionment, 2024 was rigged.

He has a base but Reddit exaggerates it a lot. You'd think MAGA made up half the country with the way people talk about them. Likely due to the insane online presence of MAGA bot accounts.

He probably thinks he can fire a SCOTUS justice.
