Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told the New York Times on Friday that she couldn’t imagine the United States “with Donald Trump as our president,” and she called Trump “a faker” in an interview with CNN on Tuesday. Trump responded yesterday, telling the Associated Press that her comments were “a disgrace to the court.”
