Donald Trump and Ruth Bader Ginsburg had a feud of words. It would not have been the late Supreme Court justice’s style to have a full-blown war of words with a sitting president of the United States.
After Utah Republican senator Mitt Romney announced on Tuesday that he supports considering and voting on the conservative nominee to replace her that Trump is set to announce on Saturday, barring a major development, it is almost a certainty that the president will get the last word.
But, make no mistake, RBG got one final jab at a president she once called “a faker”.
