Trump Blasts CNN and MSNBC for Spinning a Simple “Thank You” Into Supreme Court Drama
President Donald Trump is once again calling out the “Fake News” machine, this time for spinning a simple “thank you” into a wild conspiracy about his relationship with the U.S. Supreme Court. Trump took to TRUTH Social to set the record straight, exposing the media’s latest attempt to “play the ref” and drive a wedge between him and the nation’s highest court.
The drama started when Trump, walking past the Justices on his way to a podium last night, loudly and openly thanked Chief Justice John Roberts. Naturally, the talking heads at CNN and MSNBC—outlets Trump says he doesn’t even bother watching—lost their minds speculating. “What was he thanking him for?” they shrieked, clutching their pearls and dreaming up sinister plots. Did they call Trump’s office to ask? Of course not. That would require actual journalism.
Inauguration Day – Thank You
Had they bothered, Trump says he’d have happily told these “sleazebag journalists” the truth: “I thanked him for SWEARING ME IN ON INAUGURATION DAY, AND DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB IN SO DOING!” That’s it. No secret handshake, no backroom deals—just gratitude for a job well done. But as Trump put it, “The Fake News never quits!”
This isn’t just another media meltdown, though. Some see a deeper meaning in Trump’s words. That “thank you” to Roberts, delivered with the Supreme Court in view, could signal more than appreciation for a smooth inauguration. It might just be a nod to his unwavering commitment to rule in line with the U.S. Constitution—the very document Roberts swore him in to uphold. Trump’s no stranger to promising he’d stay true to America’s founding principles, and with the Justices as his witnesses, that “thank you” feels like a pledge renewed.
Americans Distrust of Mainstream Media
The media’s obsession with twisting Trump’s every move isn’t new, but this latest episode shows how desperate they’ve become. No wonder Americans don’t trust them—only 31% have confidence in mainstream media, according to a 2024 Gallup poll, a near-record low. As Trump put it, they’re trying to “create a divide” between him and a Supreme Court that’s proven a bulwark for constitutional integrity.
