7. My guess is he's trying to help out multi billionaire Jeff Yass.

Yass is a typical libertarian billionaire and founder of extremely successful Susquehanna Investment Group - a brilliant prop trading firm that was a pioneer in quantitative methods for trading…but Yass’s biggest boon came from being an early investor in ByteDance (TikTok) and this pushed his net worth to $44B.

Yass was a never trumper, but this cycle he grudgingly went with him and is prob part of the dark money. His lowness probably has to pay him back.

PS: Why the fuck would a President be making/pressuring the SCOTUS? That’s not how this is supposed to work. I know I know…just being rhetorical.
