THE EZRA LEVANT SHOW Donald Trump's greatest legacy: The U.S. Supreme Court

There’s a chance Trump could still win. I don’t care what CNN says or the CBC says or what Joe Biden says or what Justin Trudeau says. That’s not how the president is chosen — the U.S. Constitution describes how the president is chosen.

But let us for the sake of argument say that Trump will not prevail, and that Joe Biden will be inaugurated in January, and that he will be a sort of figurehead president.

I’m worried that some of Trump’s achievements will be undermined. I think foreign affairs is an obvious one — Biden loves China, Biden loves Iran, he’ll change both of those policies.

But the one Trump legacy that can’t be undone easily — at least if the Republicans can hold the Senate, to stop court-packing — the one thing that Trump exceeded expectations on, that Trump probably did better than any president before him, was appointing excellent judges. He nominated them; and Mitch McConnell, the quirky Republican leader in the Senate, agreed to push them through at all costs.

That’s Trump’s legacy.
