Former President Donald Trump lashed out at Judge Arthur Engoron, who is overseeing Trump’s New York civil fraud trial, for ruling that Ivanka Trump would be required to testify despite being dismissed as a defendant in June. In a series of Truth Social posts on Saturday. Trump called Engoron an “Unhinged” and a “Nut Job,” before ranting, “I truly believe he is CRAZY, but certainly, at a minimum, CRAZED in his hatred of me.” In his second post, Trump described Engoron as “grossly incompetent.” On Oct. 25, Engoron forced Trump to testify for insulting a law clerk, and the fined him $10,000 after the former president violated a gag order in the case.

I'm gonna figure he knows who he is and what he does.

IMHO, it's prudent for him not to include himself. Imagine the mileage Trump and his cult would get from "Judge is such a wimp he can't even take a little criticism!!!1!1!!"

Judges/the System is extremely reluctant to put Trump in jail. Say, for 10 days, 30 days for Contempt of Court. Fines of $10,000 to $50,000 will matter little.

Suggestion: Put Trump in jail for 3-4 hours. He will have to undergo all the humiliation of strip searches, jail regs, etc.

4 hrs sounds to the public like acceptably modest, because they do not grasp the full implications. It will also force the SS to get their act together to figure out when to turn their duties over to Federal Marshals and Prison Officers.

The judge represents the court and all the other judges Trump is threatening.

And he should not make major decisions based on MAGA crapola rhetoric.

I guess it will take Trump getting a judge killed before the judges wake the hell up.
And do their damn jobs.

and that is that the judge is not a crazed enemy who wants to destroy him, the judge is a referee who doesn't really give a shit about him and only wants the rules followed.

That's right, Donny, Judge Engoron is totally indifferent to you, how much money you claim to have, how fancy your various apartments are, how many buildings have your name on them. The judge is there to enforce a set of rules we call LAWS and doesn't really give much thought to anything else, especially your hurt feefees.

The opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference.
