Summary
President Donald Trump's meltdown at his own appointed Supreme Court justices following their decision to block his ability to impose tariffs under emergency powers law is unbecoming of his office, Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) told MS NOW's Jen Psaki on Friday.Pritzker said the outburst points to ongoing cognitive decline."There's a lot packed into today. And you know, you have been critical at times, I've been critical at times, of the Supreme Court and what they have done and decisions they have ruled," said Psaki. "Today, Donald Trump spoke about the Supreme Court in a way I've really never heard a president speak about the Supreme Court, even when they disagree. I mean, he said they are very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution. He said that the court has been swayed by foreign interests. He called the decisions by Justices Gorsuch and Barrett 'an embarrassment to their families.'""I know you don't always agree with the court and their rulings, but what did you make of his kind of meltdown, really attacks on the court as he did in a way I really haven't heard a president do before?""Well, that's who Donald Trump is," said Pritzker. "You know, he doesn't care about decorum. He doesn't actually care about the fact that these are public servants who, even when I disagree with them, you don't treat them with disrespect the way that he just did.""By the way, he's attacking people he appointed to the Supreme Court," Pritzker added. "And that is — I mean, that's just who he is. And he does that to members of Congress, members of his own party. Anybody who disagrees with him is all of a sudden on the enemies list for him. So here you heard him. You know, go after Gorsuch, go after Barrett again. He appointed them. And they had very reasoned opinions about this.""I just don't understand how we can put up with this much longer where he's just, I mean, tearing apart the government by going after very important, respected people both in the Supreme Court but also in the United States Congress," said Pritzker. "And I'm just — I'm disappointed at the direction that I think he's — I've said this before, you know, I really think he's suffering from dementia. And it's got him just lashing out at people constantly. Now he's lashing out at the very people that he appointed." - YouTube youtu.be
