Trump clashes ahead as new Supreme Court term begins
The president has lost major cases and openly criticized the justices, but he still has a winning record at the court, which will consider his immigration policies and more this term.
What the coverage shows
Both NBC News and The Hill frame the new Supreme Court term around tensions with Trump and note that immigration policy will feature prominently. NBC News uniquely foregrounds Trump’s mixed record at the court and his public criticism of the justices, while The Hill alone emphasizes the court’s low public approval and the term opening amid a “shaky” relationship.
