Supreme Court blocks Missouri map — Trump responds: ‘What the hell is going on?’

President Donald Trump reacted to the Supreme Court’s decision to block a pro-GOP congressional map in Missouri.

This will be the third time that the map has been struck down by SCOTUS, a fact that Trump unhappily noted in a Truth Social post Sunday evening.

Look:

“The Supreme Court of the United States will just not let Missouri have an Election Victory. They continuously, three times now, overrule Judges who came to the correct decisions. Thank you to the Governor, and all of the Great People of Missouri, who are fighting so hard for Fairness and Election Security. Such tremendous Spirit and Love of our Country. I won Missouri BIG, all three times, and I couldn’t be more proud of doing so. A great place — I love you all!” Trump wrote.

Following the latest defeat of the Republican-favoring 7-1 map, Missouri will be forced to utilize an older 6-2 map for the upcoming November midterms.

“The legal battle over the congressional map in the Show Me State came back to the high court for a third time late Tuesday. The Supreme Court had ruled against the Republicans twice before, but those decisions were technically interim,” The Hill reported. “The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday had issued a final ruling backing the Republicans, saying it was unconstitutional to make officials go back to the old map because they already had the primaries with the new boundaries.”
