Trump is at it again and it is more than shameful; it is dangerous,  turning a  court appearance into a campaign stop.  From my Muftic Forum Facebook posting today:  Here is what I have noticed: Nearly all findings or procedural rulings by a judge, whether appointed by Trump or previously appointed/approved by a Democrat or Republican president, that go against Trump get this treatment. This includes the over 60 cases in 2020 regarding evidence of the election was not stolen and every other case concerning civil fraud, rape, or criminal indictments since. Trump's response to setbacks consistently has been public outrage at the judge, prosecutors, and judge's staff, before cameras, on social media, or postings on his own sites, claiming political bias, racism, or personal animosity to justify any adverse ruling. It seems like, after so much of this, even his supporters should get an inkling that not every ruling is based on animosity toward Trump. .Facts and evidence in Court count; theories and accusations alone are not considered proof without facts and evidence.

This is a pattern of behavior by Trump the MAGAs ignore. It is a pattern of behavior of a skillful con man who knows his core base of support and exploits them. That is shameful but MAGAs are in wilful denial and keep on sending their hard-earned money to him when he takes every opportunity to turn his rage into an appeal for fundraising contributions. We should have no sympathy for those who fall for his con game. They are not crazy or stupid, just blindly loyal to someone who channels their own deeply held feelings of anger at whatever. The danger to non-MAGAS is when it t becomes more than bloviating that serves the purpose of covering his PR tail, making a political point, explaining away a loss in court, or fundraising. The danger to the rest of us is when it becomes his exhortation to call to kill or harm the judge, scare off a potential juror or dirty the jury pool, and destroy the rule of law by giving it the middle finger or to claim as president he "can do anything he wants". against a law or not... He has made it clear he wants to get re-elected to control the entire judicial system to excuse his criminal and civilly liable behavior and to get back his political and economic power to get revenge (retribution) on those who are not loyal to him. ,
