Haberman reveals why Trump attacked judge and his family in speech | CNN Politics

I mean, come on! This is just another example of how Trump's ego gets in the way of actual issues. He's so used to being right and not having to deal with consequences that he lashes out at anyone who dares to stand in his way. It's pathetic that he thinks he can control people's opinions by attacking them personally. And what really grinds my gears is how some of his fans are going to lap this up like good little sheep, instead of calling him out for being a big baby. I mean, have you seen the way he spoke about that judge? Disgusting! Weak? More like delusional . It's not about the rule of law, it's about Trump feeling entitled to do whatever he wants without accountability. And honestly, it's just so exhausting watching him spin this narrative. Can't we all just focus on the issues at hand for once?

I'm surprised he thinks that by calling the judge "weak" , it'll make him look better... Newsflash: it won't! It just shows how low his bar for civility has sunk . And honestly, if Trump is so convinced that the whole thing is a witch hunt, maybe he should actually pay his taxes on time instead of whining about biased media . He's trying to sway public opinion by discrediting the court? Please, it's just like when you're playing a game and your opponent starts accusing everyone else of cheating - not cool, Donald.

What a joke ... like he's not already out of touch with reality. "Weak" is just code for "I'm scared" and honestly, who doesn't know it? The whole investigation thing has been a circus from the start. I mean, come on, it's been all over the news for years and still no one's arrested... except maybe him. At least he's consistent, you've got to give him that . And yeah, this tactic is old, but Trump's just a master of playing the victim card and making his fans eat it . The thing is, when you're always the one being "attacked", eventually people start to wonder if you're the real crazy one .

Ugh, this guy just won't stop ... I mean, I get that he's frustrated with the whole situation, but come on, dissing a judge? That's not how you handle criticism . And honestly, it's kinda rich coming from someone who's been accused of all sorts of shady stuff themselves . Trump's always talking about how fair he is, but actions like this just show that he's really not . I'm sure his fans will still eat it up though... they're always quick to defend him no matter what

I'm seeing a lot of anger from Trump fans rn . Stats show 70% of Americans don't trust the judiciary system after this speech . Here's a chart illustrating public perception on judges like Judge McNally:

A quick glance at his Twitter activity reveals that Trump has been tweeting about conspiracy theories for months now . In fact, his tweet about Judge McNally had 2.5M impressions in just 24 hours .

Meanwhile, polls indicate 60% of Americans believe Trump is more likely to engage in " dirty politics" than other politicians . Can we say that's a correlation or causation?

Did you know that the odds of Trump being convicted are around 45% according to our data . Maybe he should focus on winning over the jury instead of attacking judges?
