“Liberal [sic] Europeans hate Donald Trump. They also tend to misjudge him. I see this tendency particularly strongly represented in the media, where wishful thinking is the guiding principle. The media drew the wrong political conclusions about his criminal trials last year. Now they are misjudging last week’s court ruling blocking his 2 April reciprocal tariffs. The chances are that Trump will win this latest legal battle, just as he won the previous ones. The Supreme Court, where this legal battle may ultimately end up, has a majority of conservative [sic] justices. Six have been appointed by Republican presidents, three of them by Trump himself. The court’s most recent rulings have tilted heavily in favour of Trump.” (06/02/25)
