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
take the bate.
I think that’s what Louis C.K. said before he’d do what he did.
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!”
Step 0 of this plan is to pay off the appeals judges all the way up to the SC
Ladies and Gentlemen, our former president. A pussy bitch that only knows how to talk shit on the internet.
With this guy? Always has been.
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.
Plus they wouldn’t receive constant threats of violence and death. That mostly just comes from one side. Whoever tweeted about would be in danger.
37!?
In a row?
Hey you, get back here!
Narrator: He did. Several, in fact.
I have a hard time believing that someone innocent would do this.
Oh this will end well.
Definitely a great strategy to go after the judge’s wife in a bench trial.
And again, it shows that Trump is just above the law. If anyone else did that they’d be in Rikers for the remainder of the trial.
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.
I’ve seen chutzpah defined as “that quality enshrined in a man who, having killed his mother and father, throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan.”
Same energy here.
For him? I guarantee it.
What other consequences has he ever faced for anything he’s said, other than a gag order he knows they won’t enforce?deleted by creator

If I were going off these posts alone, I would conclude that trump immediately violated the gag order today?
I mean it’s very believable…but I’m hoping it’s just weird timing of the posts and he stfu for at least a couple hours.
Probably not. The gag order is extremely narrow. It excludes Engoron himself and I don’t think his wife is court staff.
According to the article, Trump also posted that yesterday.
A new day and a new low for the Coward in Chief.

Both work.
He could shoot her in the middle of 5th avenue and the judge still wouldn’t enforce a gag order.
So he’s trying to tell the DC court of appeals that they should uphold his gag order. Good.
. . . the New York State Witch Hunt Trial aimed at me, my family, and the Republican Party,”
Madness. republiQans you sad, hateful jokes.
An important note:
“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.
What’s the point of having legalised guns
To stop the British.
