Donald Trump has been stunned into silence
We all know it’s coming eventually. But it’s been more than six hours since the U.S. Supreme Court denied to even so much as hear Donald Trump’s request to overturn the election results in Pennsylvania, and Trump still has yet to say or tweet a word about it.
That’s notable when you consider how stunning and essentially fatal of a blow this is. It puts a very real end to Donald Trump’s imaginary battle to overturn the election; he can keep trying to fight, but there’s no venue to fight in. The Supreme Court, including three Justices that he appointed specifically to bail him out in the election, unanimously told him to go pound sand.
Not only does this mean that Trump is a one-term president, it means he’s now on a clear path to bankruptcy and prison. He knows it too, because even an uneducated dunderhead like Trump understands that the Supreme Court is the final stop in any dispute in this country.
Yet Trump still hasn’t spoken up. He hasn’t bothered to lash out at the Justices he appointed, or accuse them of being part of the Deep State. Trump hasn’t bothered to threaten to expose Kavanaugh’s dirty secrets and what-not. It’s all coming. Trump is clinically incapable of remaining quiet forever, even when he knows he should. But for now, Trump has been stunned into silence by the sheer magnitude of the blow that he just took. His life is over, and he surely knows it.
