Just hours after President Donald Trump was caught on a hot mic repeatedly thanking Chief Justice John Roberts, the Supreme Court’s top judge cast a decisive vote against the administration. The move immediately sparked speculation about the nature of Trump’s gratitude—and whether it was related to ongoing legal battles.
What Happened?
During Trump’s March 4 address to Congress, Supreme Court justices were in attendance, as is customary. As he made his way through the crowd, Trump shook hands with Roberts and was heard saying, “Thank you again. Thank you again. Won’t forget it.” The remark, captured by TV microphones, fueled immediate debate about what exactly Trump was thanking Roberts for.
