Absolutely not true. Trump hasn't been "winning" at the Supreme Court.
The Trump administration has won exactly two cases at SCOTUS, which is Trump vs CASA and United States vs Skrmetti.
Every other "positive outcome" from SCOTUS has been the Supreme Court reaching down into lower court decisions and delaying/pausing lower courts' decisions in lieu of the Supreme Court actually hearing and deciding the case.
And in a growing number of these cases, there has been zero rationale provided for the reversal. None whatsoever. You cannot possibly make the claim they were for "breaking the rules." In fact, with the (very aberrational) lack of provided rationale, I'd suggest you can infer quite the opposite: SCOTUS's interventions are actually not readily defensible with any cogent legal argument.
In other words, you are a victim of the same ignorance discussed at the top of the thread. Trump's wins are not wins, they are SCOTUS using procedural tools to overturn lower decisions without having to hear evidence, consider arguments, or provide decisions themselves.
