SUPREME COURT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “President Donald Trump awarded seven people the Medal of Freedom on Friday [11-16-18], including the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Amid introducing the awardees of the nation’s highest civilian honor, some online noticed the president seemed to include a joke about Scalia’s virility. Trump welcomed Scalia’s wife, Maureen, and their nine children who attended the White House ceremony. After reading the names of each of the nine children, Trump seemed to slip in a joke about the couple’s sex life. ‘You were very busy. Wow,’ the president said, causing those in the room to chuckle. ‘Wow. I always knew I liked him.’ Many online were quick to pick up on the joke. ‘Congrats on the sex, Scalia family,’ Parker Malloy, an editor-at-large, wrote on Twitter. Comedian Ike Barinholtz chimed in, writing on Twitter, ‘Thank you Mr. President for the image of Antonin Scalia having sex.'”
