The wife of the New York judge overseeing former President Trump’s ongoing civil fraud trial is the latest target of Trump’s rage online.
Trump took aim at Judge Arthur Engoron’s wife in a series of posts Tuesday afternoon, purporting that an account on X — formerly Twitter — that made several anti-Trump posts belongs to her.
Trump basically wants this judge to snap and or get really harsh with him. Even though the judge would 100% be in the right, Trump will use the harsh penalties as miscarriage of justice ammo in an appeals case.
IMHO, this guy needs to continue doing what he has mostly already done. Don’t take the bait.
No sane court would. But the last president appointed some real kooks to a lot of courts.
I could see Trump trying to get an injunction against the ruling pending appeal. Even a sane court would need to allow time for discovery, arguments, etc. Any material (in the way of snark or comments from the judge could mean added delays. Trump would definitely slow walk the appeal as much as possible on the hope that he’ll get reelected and pull some nonsense to wriggle out of consequences.
4D chess. I didn't realize that I can win a court case by insulting the judge and his family, and then appeal it and say, "See? The judge was prejudiced against me because I behaved like an asshole!"
I get your sarcasm, but don't think any judge would want to take that appeal. Why subject yourself or your colleagues to this kind of abuse. Not sure exactly how that whole process goes, but really doubt there's any way all his bullshit works out to his benefit.
I get your honesty. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in any of The Cheeto's meetings with council, and hear the advice (or protestation) they're giving him. I suppose we all just need to wait long enough - there have been and will be many personal narrative books published about this slow-moving train wreck.
“Judge Engoron’s Trump Hating wife, together with his very disturbed and angry law clerk, have taken over control of the New York State Witch Hunt Trial aimed at me, my family, and the Republican Party,” Trump wrote Wednesday in a Truth Social post.
Well, that's not going to go well for his gag order ...
Trump's lawyer to appeals court judges after verdict:
"Your honor, my client and myself constantly, publicly and viciously attacked the trial judge, his staff, the opposing counsel, and their families, including making many demonstrably false libelous statements. They all received many death threats on a daily basis as a result of our actions. Therefore you must overturn the verdict because he must have been biased against us by our own actions."
Yeah we'll see how that plays out in the appeals courts. I didn't think even republican partisan hack judges will buy that. We'll find out soon I guess though.
“The Twitter account with the handel [sic] @dm_sminxs does not belong to me. I do not have a Twitter account. I have never posted any anti Trump messages,” she wrote in an email.
Trump frumpy dump drump. I don't know why anyone continues to care what he does or says or thinks. He's the reason the "off" button on my TV remote is worn down to a nub. He simply is not a human with any conscience or consequence and I don't know why he continues to plague our society, but I pretty much have buried him and moved on.
Because he was the President of the US and is STILL the frontrunner for 2024 Republican presidential nomination. There's a very good chance that he becomes President again. There's lot of reasons to pay attention to what a fascist seizing power is doing.
Unless of course someone is so privileged they never have to worry what far-right politicians are doing...
He was never president as far as I'm concerned and I've never given him any ounce of respect at all. He is the frontrunner for a sick Nazi mentality that wants to destroy everything this country was ever meant to be, and I have about as much interest in him as a I do in a dead flea. Even if he is elected again I shall never recognize him as being in any sort of power over me, no matter what.
I guess it's true my family has some privilege (money wise) but being in a higher tax bracket doesn't always mean we side with the wealthy but morally bankrupt side of politics.
