MONDAY: The state of the union involves the angry shredding of union!

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2026

The latest Truth Social posts: As we speak, the state of the union seems to lack the basic spirit of union. A tiny portion of that lack of unity may even seem to trace back to the commander in chief.

The president was busy on Truth Social again last night and early this morning. Larger orgs tend to ignore this conduct. To its credit, Homey don't play it that way.

The Homey to whom we refer is the news org Mediaite.  At that site, Tom Durante offers this report about a new set of Truth Social posts:

Trump Tears Into Supreme Court in Truth Social Tirade, Predicts It Will Rule Against Him on Birthright Citizenship

President Donald Trump, undoubtedly still miffed at the Supreme Court for killing his emergency tariffs, attacked the branch of government in a Monday morning Truth Social storm, saying the same justices who ruled against tariffs may do the same on birthright citizenship.

Posting to his social network early Monday, Trump began by saying he will only spell out Supreme Court in lower-case letters “based on a complete lack of respect!”

And so on from there—and for the record, it's true! The president remains so miffed that he refused to capitalize the name of the judicial body in question.

The president still seems to be angry. The full post reads like this:

The supreme court (will be using lower case letters for a while based on a complete lack of respect!) of the United States accidentally and unwittingly gave me, as President of the United States, far more powers and strength than I had prior to their ridiculous, dumb, and very internationally divisive ruling. For one thing, I can use Licenses to do absolutely “terrible” things to foreign countries, especially those countries that have been RIPPING US OFF for many decades, but incomprehensibly, according to the ruling, can’t charge them a License fee - BUT ALL LICENSES CHARGE FEES, why can’t the United States do so? You do a license to get a fee! The opinion doesn’t explain that, but I know the answer! The court has also approved all other Tariffs, of which there are many, and they can all be used in a much more powerful and obnoxious way, with legal certainty, than the Tariffs as initially used. Our incompetent supreme court did a great job for the wrong people, and for that they should be ashamed of themselves (but not the Great Three!). The next thing you know they will rule in favor of China and others, who are making an absolute fortune on Birthright Citizenship, by saying the 14th Amendment was NOT written to take care of the “babies of slaves,” which it was as proven by the EXACT TIMING of its construction, filing, and ratification, which perfectly coincided with the END OF THE CIVIL WAR. How much better can you do than that? But this supreme court will find a way to come to the wrong conclusion, one that again will make China, and various other Nations, happy and rich. Let our supreme court keep making decisions that are so bad and deleterious to the future of our Nation - I have a job to do. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

We've advised you to consider seeing this within a medical context. We now expect to return to that line of rumination at the start of next week.

For this week, inevitably, it's all about the state of the union! The Justices who choose to attend tomorrow night's address will be right there in the front row. They'll be sitting there in their robes, as if they're ready to rule!

Then too, this: Durante followed with a second report based on that Truth Social "storm." Capital letters were still MIA. The report begins like this:

Trump Claims He Doesn’t Need Congressional Approval to Impose Tariffs

President Donald Trump pushed back on the Supreme Court’s tariff decision, saying on Monday that he doesn’t need Congress’s OK to impose tariffs.

“As President, I do not have to go back to Congress to get approval of Tariffs,” Trump posted to Truth Social on Monday. “It has already been gotten, in many forms, a long time ago! They were also just reaffirmed by the ridiculous and poorly crafted supreme court decision!”

And so on from there. As you can see, he was still withholding those capital letters. Our advice remains what it was.

The president doesn't need an OK from the Congress? It sounds like cases may be coming where we'll all get to find out again.

The state of the union is often like this at the present troubled time. To peruse that additional Truth Social post, you can just click here.
