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.
