Supreme Court Rules that Trump is Not Above the Law and He's Big Mad About It

By: The Executive Tea staff

The Supreme Court had a mixed ruling today in the case of Trump’s tax returns. Trump is the only president in modern times who has refused to make his tax returns public.

The L for Trump:

The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 to reject Trump’s assertion that he is immune from state criminal subpoenas because of his role as President. In other words, they said that Donnie is not above the law, chile. The court ruled that the Manhattan prosecutor conducting a criminal investigation of hush money payments sent to Stormy Daniels- an adult film star who had an affair with Donald - will be allowed to subpoena Trump’s financial records to assist with the investigation.

Donnie already reacted to the ruling with a series of tweets referencing to criminal acts committed by Obama and Biden, which of course there is no evidence of. As expected, he lashed out on Twitter, “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!”

The slight W for Trump:

Citing separation of powers, the Supreme Court kept a hold on Trump’s tax returns that Congress has sought out for over a year. Congress still won’t be able to access Trump’s tax returns - for now, at least.

Both cases are subject to review by lower courts.
