Donald Trump on Thursday threw a tantrum on Twitter following the 7-2 rulings from the Supreme Court rejecting the President’s claims of absolute immunity in the New York tax returns and House financial oversight cases.
Just minutes after news broke that the court will allow New nork prosecutors to subpoena Trump’s tax records, the president took to Twitter to complain.
In a series of tweets, Trump whined that he was being unfairly targeted by the Supreme Court decisions — which were joined by the two justices he appointed — and claimed he was a victim of “political prosecution”
“The Supreme Court sends case back to Lower Court, arguments to continue. This is all a political prosecution,” Trump wrote. “I won the Mueller Witch Hunt, and others, and now I have to keep fighting in a politically corrupt New York. Not fair to this Presidency or Administration!” he added.
Take a look:
The Supreme Court sends case back to Lower Court, arguments to continue. This is all a political prosecution. I won the Mueller Witch Hunt, and others, and now I have to keep fighting in a politically corrupt New York. Not fair to this Presidency or Administration!

Courts in the past have given “broad deference”. BUT NOT ME!

….for another President. This is about PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT. We catch the other side SPYING on my campaign, the biggest political crime and scandal in U.S. history, and NOTHING HAPPENS. But despite this, I have done more than any President in history in first 3 1/2 years!

We have a totally corrupt previous Administration, including a President and Vice President who spied on my campaign, AND GOT CAUGHT…and nothing happens to them. This crime was taking place even before my election, everyone knows it, and yet all are frozen stiff with fear….
