The United States Supreme Court issued a devasting decision yesterday when it refused to block the release of Trump’s tax returns to the Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vance.
In what has become a reflex action whenever Trump is on the losing end of a court case, he vowed to appeal the ruling, saying it allows for the “greatest political Witch Hunt in the history of our country” to continue.
In a lengthy written response to the decision, Trump attacked the Court for letting “this ‘fishing expedition’ happen” in the first place.
No one around the former-occupant-of-the-White-House had the nerve to inform him that the Supreme Court is the highest court in the land; that it is known as the court of last resort for a reason.
It is quite possible Donald Trump believes the World Court, headquartered in the Hague, has jurisdiction over the U.S. Supreme Court but, if he had paid attention in his high school history class, he’d know the court, also known as the International Court of Justice, settles disputes involving sovereign states in accordance with international law.
Or is it possible Trump has fallen into a Louis XIV mindset … “L’etat, c’est moi”?

*moronmajority.com is a satirical site … seriously!
To think his own hand-picked justices let him down … choosing the Constitution over the traitor!
Who would have thunk that? Ha!
You laugh but this is the second time Trump has appealed this same issue in a year so there’s no reason he won’t keep appealing on different grounds and variations of grounds for decades.
