United States President Donald Trump clarified in a post on Truth Social the reason for his gratitude toward Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts following his presidential address to Congress.

Trump attributed the speculation about his thanks to what he described as the "Play the Ref" media, which he believed was attempting to "create a divide between" him and the Supreme Court. He explained that he was thanking Roberts for swearing him in during his inauguration and commended him for doing a good job.
