Fox News Host Tells Trump To Show Some Humility After Supreme Court Ruling

Fox News host Trey Gowdy on Monday encouraged Donald Trump to show humility after the Supreme Court overturned a Colorado courts decision to bar the former president from appearing on 2024 ballots.

I would encourage him to do something that he doesnt often do, which is show humility, because there are other decisions that are coming that he may not agree with, the former GOP congressman from South Carolina said. 

I dont think hes going to win the presidential immunity case before the court, he added. So, you know, its 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 dont win.

The U.S. Supreme Courts Monday ruling ended an effort in several states to remove Trump from ballots over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection under the so-called insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.

In a unanimous decision, the court ruled that states do not have the authority to disqualify candidates for federal office under that clause. 

Trump called the decision  a BIG WIN FOR AMERICA!!! Later, in remarks from his Mar-a-Lago estate, he urged the Supreme Court to rule in his favor on his claims of presidential immunity.

I hope that the justices, because theyll be working on some other cases, but one in particular, presidents have to be given totally immunity, he said. They have to be allowed to do their job. If theyre not allowed to do their job, its 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 Trumps claims that he is immune from prosecution for his actions as president, scheduling oral arguments for April 22. This means a delay of at least several months for Trumps federal election interference trial.

If its pushed back past the November election, and Trump returns to the White House, he could order the case to be dismissed. He is also criminally charged in three other cases.
