Donald Trump's verbal assault on a federal judge and his family during a recent speech at Mar-a-Lago has left many in the US perplexed. According to Maggie Haberman, a prominent CNN political contributor, Trump's actions were likely a calculated move to deflect attention from his own legal troubles.
Haberman suggests that by targeting the judge and his family, Trump aimed to shift the focus away from the serious felony charges he faces. By doing so, he may be attempting to portray himself as the victim in this situation. However, Haberman notes that this tactic is unlikely to work, as most Americans view Trump's attacks on the judiciary as an affront to the rule of law.
The CNN contributor points out that Trump's behavior has been a recurring theme throughout his presidency and post-presidency. He often uses inflammatory language to describe his critics, including judges, politicians, and even members of the media. This approach can be seen as a strategy to intimidate and silence those who dare to oppose him.
Furthermore, Haberman notes that Trump's family, particularly his children, have been involved in various controversies over the years. The attack on the judge and his family could be a way for Trump to rally his base and maintain their support despite the mounting criticism he faces.
While some may view Trump's actions as petty and cowardly, others see them as a calculated move to stay one step ahead of his adversaries. One thing is certain: Trump's verbal assault on the judiciary has sparked widespread outrage and concern about the state of democracy in the US.
As Haberman puts it, "This isn't going to work for Trump. People are seeing right through this attempt to deflect attention from his own problems."

u gotta be kiddin me? trump thinks he can just go outta control on stage and get away wit it?? 
like, what's next? attackin the postal service or somethin? 
i mean idk if hes thinkin he can just shift the focus off his own problems but newsflash dont try to bully ur way thru this trump. we all see right through that crap. and btw thats not even a strategy, thats just basic cowardice 
First, it's the Russia probe, then it's the impeachment, and now he's going after a judge and his family? Come on, Donald! You can't just attack someone for doing their job. It's like, you want to talk about the system being rigged, but when you're the one rigging it with your own brand of crazy, nobody believes you anymore

I'm not surprised that Trump is trying to deflect attention with a verbal assault on a judge and his family, but the timing is definitely suspicious... like he's trying to cover up something big 
. He's been doing this for years, and it's getting old - using inflammatory language to intimidate critics 
. I don't think it's going to work this time around though... people are starting to see right through his games 
. It's like he thinks we're all just going to forget about the whole " colluding with Russia" thing 
?
. He's been doing this for years, and it's getting old. His family is probably used to taking the brunt of his tantrums by now 
. But seriously, how low will he sink? The fact that he thinks he can shift attention from his own legal troubles by targeting an innocent judge and his family just blows my mind 
.
It's like, calm down, Donald, you're not going to win any points by yelling at the referees. And by the way, what's up with all these attacks on the judiciary? 
I mean, who needs fact-checking when you can just lash out at everyone else? His whole strategy is like a big ol' mess – trying to make the victim look bad while hiding behind 'victim mentality'. It's not gonna work tho 
. ppl are indeed seeing through his tricks but i wonder if they'll actually do anything about it 
.
. But honestly, it's just gonna backfire
