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.
Edit: typos
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.
What about maga-friendly judges?
They could take the case, rule in trump’s favour, and get sweet sweet fascist cred.
They’d be top of the Supreme Court Justice list the second Republicans gain the majority again
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.
Ladies and Gentlemen, our former president. A pussy bitch that only knows how to talk shit on the internet.
“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 …
A gag order has since been lifted. Whether it’s the one that would cover this, I have no bloody clue.
And frankly the fact, you even need to think about which gag order is in effect, is some peak trash reality TV drama. Which figures.
Well if wives are fair game, the Thomas’s are going to have a rough time.
they would have to have some kind of shame… or a shred of dignity left to care. they dont.
