People Think Trump Is Treating His Supreme Court Nomination Like A Reality Show

"I can't wait to see which Supreme Court nominee gets the rose!"

On Tuesday evening, President Trump will announce his pick for the Supreme Court. In the lead-up to the announcement, the CNN's Ariane de Vogue reported two leading contenders would be brought to DC to "build suspense." The Washington Post's Supreme Court reporter was ... surprised ... by the move.

Sweet lord. @Arianedevogue reports both Gorsuch and Hardiman being brought to DC to build suspense

People soon started to joke on Twitter that Trump was treating the announcement like a reality show or beauty pageant. Like The Bachelor, for instance.

I can't wait to see which Supreme Court nominee gets the rose! #SupremeCourt

@cnn's current headline is "Finalists to be Trump's Supreme Court pick are headed to DC ahead of 8pm announcement." Is this the Bachelor?

Others made "Miss Universe" references.
