The Wall Street Journal got it exactly right in its Feb. 20 editorial (Trump Demeans Himself as He Attacks the Supreme Court ) as it exposed Trump's base character in his tirade following the most momentous Supreme Court decision in two years. That was taking away his "power" to stymy global trade with tariffs based on supposed "emergency". The orange swine was so unhinged in the wake of the SC decision he unleashed a torrent of venom which included attacking the three conservative Justices who voted against him as "traitors". Seemingly unaware this ambulatory orange fungal refuse is the only traitor - after inciting the Jan 6 insurrection.
As the Journal editors wrote:
"President Trump owes the Supreme Court an apology—to the individual Justices he smeared on Friday and the institution itself. Mr. Trump doubtless won’t offer one, but his rant in response to his tariff defeat at the Court was arguably the worst moment of his Presidency.
Mr. Trump lit into the Justices who voted against him as traitors bought by foreign interests:
“The Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and I’m ashamed of certain members of the Court, absolutely ashamed, for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country,” he said. He’s referring to Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote the controlling opinion, and associate Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. They joined the three liberal Justices in holding his tariffs illegal under the IEEPA statute.
He called the liberals a “disgrace to our nation.” But he heaped particular vitriol on the three conservatives. They “think they’re being ‘politically correct,’ which has happened before, far too often, with certain members of this Court,” Mr. Trump said. “When, in fact, they’re just being fools and lapdogs for the RINOs and the radical left Democrats—and . . . they’re very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution. It’s my opinion that the Court has been swayed by foreign interests.”
And this pig - unfit to run a porto potty far less the presidency - actually had the nerve to say the Justices were "disloyal to our Constitution" when he is the one who has been thus from the instant of his 2nd inauguration.
Yes, the swine does owe those justices an apology, especially of Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch. But will he deliver it? Don't hold your breath, any more than he'll suddenly morph into a statesman tonight for the State of the Union. All you can expect is more twisted ranting and likely directed again at the Supremes who triggered his insane original eruption.
My advice? Save your last vestiges of sanity by finding something else to do. Follow former Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Reich's advice:

Friends,
I’m not going to watch the State of the Union address Tuesday night. I urge you not to, either.
I hope Nielsen (or whoever makes such estimates these days) will find that far fewer Americans watched Trump’s State of the Union than have watched any other State of the Union in recent memory. It will drive Trump nuts.
There are plenty of other reasons for not watching.
First, he doesn’t deserve our attention. He’s abused and defiled the American presidency, even worse than he did in his first term.
and boycott tonight's fiasco where the traitor and felon will bellow his bonkers venom once more. As Mr. Reich put it: "He doesn't deserve our attention. He's abused and defiled the American presidency even worse than he did in his first term."

President Donald Trump, you took funds from the American people that were never yours to take. Give them back, and end the abuse of power.
Friday, the Supreme Court confirmed what many of us argued from the beginning: Your sweeping tariffs were an unlawful overreach of executive power. The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the authority to set tariffs. Yet you invoked emergency powers you do not have, in response to a supposed national emergency that does not exist. This was a power grab, and the court said so.
President Trump, your tariff regime was illegal, unfair, and detrimental to the American people. You also grossly misrepresented the facts to the American people by claiming that foreign countries were paying. They were not. American families paid.
