Trump and Leonard Leo: The biggest 'let them fight' ever [View all]

Can you think of two people you would rather see in a cat fight than President Donald Trump and head Federalist Society goblin Leonard Leo? No, you cannot.

Trump has apparently soured on Leo, at least according to the lengthy screed he posted on Truth Social Thursday night.

“I was new to Washington, and it was suggested that I use The Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges. I did so, openly and freely, but then realized that they were under the thumb of a real ‘sleazebag’ named Leonard Leo, a bad person who, in his own way, probably hates America, and obviously has his own separate ambitions,” he wrote.

Trump is furious because one of his own judicial picks was part of the three-judge panel that threw out his ridiculous “Liberation Day” tariffs. But Trump isn’t capable of admitting he made a poor choice in nominating Timothy Reif to the U.S. Court of International Trade in 2018, so it must be someone else’s fault.
