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.

      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?
