Trump’s tweets shouldn’t matter to the high court

-

Lawyers on both sides of the dispute over President Trump’s immigratio­n travel ban agreed that the president likely hurt his case at the Supreme Court with a series of early-morning tweets.

Trump can’t stay out of his own way for more than six hours. How is it his base still hangs in there? Are they just clinging to some false hope that he’s not going to embarrass them any further? Let’s hope so, because right now this is sad!

Simple: There are those who get it and those who do not. Anyone thinking that the Supreme Court will be swayed from following the laws of the land because of a social media post wants nothing good for America. Stop looking at the world through Clinton-colored glasses. You are as easily distracted as the press. Grow up.

I firmly believe Trump doesn’t want to be president. He can’t run the country like he runs his businesses, and he can’t tolerate having to answer to anyone. Typical type A personalit­y.

Stephanie S. Mullen

Left-leaning news media outlets are twisting the truth. We know Trump is doing things to help America, and that’s why the good people of the U.S. voted for him.

Bruce Cheyney

Why haven’t his aides deleted his Twitter account? They know that Trump is not smart enough to use it for his own good. On the other hand, his tweets are uniting Americans of every spectrum ... against him.

Keith Brooks

What are we supposed to do? Wait until new terrorists enter our country — who would have otherwise been banned from entering our nation under Trump’s order — attack us? The president is constituti­onally responsibl­e for protecting us from our enemies and keeping us safe, not the courts. Has anyone been looking at what has been going on in England and France recently? It is a privilege to enter our nation, not a right. The courts need to stop interferin­g with the president’s constituti­onal authority.
