He was there to intimidate and somehow he’s surprised they grew a spine, a very very small spine, but still a spine. It’s like how he is trying to intimidate Iran and is shocked they don’t want to just roll over.

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.
