PREDICTION: Grampy's SOTU will be indistinguishable from George Costanza's father's airing of grievances at Festivus [View all]

Trump, who was once considered to have the Supreme Court in his back pocket, had warmly greeted conservative justices on the high court ahead of his speech before a joint session of Congress last year. On Friday, the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, shut down Trump’s signature economic policy.

This will guide Trump’s SOTU address, author Michael Wolff argued on the latest episode of the Daily Beast’s Inside Trump’s Head.

“The important point is that it will no longer be about the Supreme Court basically humiliating him. It will then be about his theatrics in responding to this and his emotions. It’s incredibly effective,” Wolff explained.

“The reason I’m on the edge of my seat about State of the Union, which is on Tuesday, is that at last year’s State of the Union, Donald Trump caused much Sturm und Drang.
