Fox News Host Tells Trump To Show Some ‘Humility’ After Supreme Court Ruling
Fox News host Trey Gowdy on Monday inspired Donald Trump to “show humility” after the Supreme Court overturned a Colorado court docket’s choice to bar the previous president from showing on 2024 ballots.
“I would encourage him to do something that he doesn’t often do, which is show humility, because there are other decisions that are coming that he may not agree with,” the previous GOP congressman from South Carolina stated.

“I don’t think he’s going to win the presidential immunity case before the court,” he added. “So, you know, it’s confusing when you say ‘I love you’ on one day and ‘I hate you’ the next. Show a little restraint when you win. Show a little restraint when you don’t win.”
The U.S. Supreme Court’s Monday ruling ended an effort in a number of states to take away Trump from ballots over his position within the Jan. 6, 2021, riot below the so-called riot clause of the 14th Amendment.
In a unanimous choice, the court docket dominated that states do not need the authority to disqualify candidates for federal workplace below that clause.

Trump referred to as the choice a “BIG WIN FOR AMERICA!!!” Later, in remarks from his Mar-a-Lago property, he urged the Supreme Court to rule in his favor on his claims of presidential immunity.
“I hope that the justices, because they’ll be working on some other cases, but one in particular, presidents have to be given totally immunity,” he stated. “They have to be allowed to do their job. If they’re not allowed to do their job, it’s not what the founders wanted, but perhaps even more importantly it will be terrible for the country.”
Last week, the Supreme Court agreed to rule on Trump’s claims that he’s immune from prosecution for his actions as president, scheduling oral arguments for April 22. This means a delay of no less than a number of months for Trump’s federal election interference trial.
If it’s pushed again previous the November election, and Trump returns to the White House, he might order the case to be dismissed. He can also be criminally charged in three different instances.
