Why now, Justice Roberts?
Author's addendum: Trump, at most has six more years in his job, Justice Roberts has his job for life. I have to wonder if this narcisstic president, this emboldened blustering braggart and poseur who believes he has king-like powers, has even thought that he is engaging the 63 year old head-for-life of an equal branch of government in a battle of words that could play out in a battle of consequece in a venue where Roberts has the ultimate power.
Does he think he can body slam John Roberts like he did in a pro-wrestling stunt the way he did with Vince McMahon? Alas, I suspect this is the way the president's disordered mind works. Unbelievablly this man was elected president. Google Trump's greatest Wrestlemania moments if you want to reminded of this.
Another way to look at this is that while Trump can fire an attorney general or any other member of the Executive Branch he appointed, he can't fire a justice on the Supreme Court, or any other member of the federal bench for that matter. Trump may think that because the president nominates people to sit on the Supreme Court he has the power to fire them.

Ed note: I began this column as something of a snark, but the more I followed the news since I started writing it yesterday the more I realized that the question "is Trump a chump" deserved a more serious look. This is the column after 12 revisions.
If you watched MSNBC last night this will come as a relief: Interpol elected a South Korean instead of a Russian as head.
If Trump answered the questions on this Dark Triad psychological test truthfully he would score A+, 100% of the questions apply to him, the darkest Dark Triad president in history.

Quote of the Day from Heather “Digby” Parton in Salon:
Toward the end of their interview, Wallace asked Trump where he ranked himself in the pantheon of great presidents. He said, "There’s Lincoln and Washington, there’s FDR and Reagan, do you make the top 10?" Trump doesn't have the capacity to do such an analysis so he just said he's doing a great job and that we'd be at war with North Korea if Obama were still president. And then he added:
I would give myself, I would – look, I hate to do it, but I will do it, I would give myself an A+, is that enough? Can I go higher than that?
I think he actually believes that, which may be the most alarming thing about him. It's one thing to survive each day, barely balancing on the high-wire act of this crazy presidency. It's quite another to imagine you're actually flying.
