‘Lunatic’: Trump’s long history of abusing judges who oppose him
Al JazeeraFrom ‘radical lunatic’, to ‘unhinged’ and ‘unfair’, Trump never holds back when showing disapproval of US judges. United States President Donald Trump has doubled down on his criticism of a federal judge, calling him “radical left” for blocking the deportation of Venezuelan migrants, as his administration ramps up rhetoric against the courts. In his New York civil fraud case, where he was found liable for boosting his net worth, Trump called Judge Arthur Engoron “unhinged” and a “Trump-hating, radical left, Democrat operative”. In 2020, Trump demanded that both judges “recuse” themselves from cases involving him, accusing them of bias, particularly after Sotomayor criticised the Trump administration’s frequent appeals to the top court to intervene in lower-court decisions. Former federal judge J Michael Luttig last year called Trump’s rhetoric “vicious” and “an existential threat to the rule of law”, warning that undermining judicial independence could have long-term consequences for US democracy.
