The Colorado Supreme Court’s Tuesday decision to disqualify former President Trump from the state primary ballot has come under fire from Republicans who have claimed it is a political move against…
The Colorado Supreme Court determined that Trump was responsible for the Jan. 6 Capitol riots and should be disqualified from the ballot via the 14th Amendment.
Not “should be” - “is.” They determined that Trump is disqualified from the ballot via the 14th Amendment.
Until they make a ruling, or decline to take the case, the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling stands. (Yes, I know they have stayed judgment until Jan 4.)
A ruling that the President of the United States, that has been found to have engaged in insurrection against the United States, doesn’t fall under the 14th amendment would basically mean that Presidents are above US law. This would mean Biden could just call the '24 election now, or do a Putin, and just disqualify Trump now and Biden could just stay until he leaves on his own or death. It’s a lose/lose for Trump on this.

Does the Supreme Court of the US believe that?

Depends on who’s paying them.
They believe what they are paid to believe.
