WASHINGTON, DC: Former President Donald Trump took a jab at the judges entangled in his legal battles on Saturday, April 13, by asking which of them is the most inept or dishonest, as per The Hill.

Significantly, this remark coincides with the eve of his hush-money trial set to commence in New York on Monday, April 15. It marks another instance of his continuous assault on the judges overseeing his various legal proceedings.

Trump mocks judges involved in his legal battles

Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, "Who is the WORST, most EVIL and most CORRUPT JUDGE? Would it be Judge Arthur Engoron, Judge Lewis Kaplan or, could it be that my current New York disaster, Judge Juan Merchan, is the WORST?"



 

Significantly, the hush money trial set to commence on Monday will be overseen by Judge Merchan. This marks the first instance in American history where a former president faces trial on criminal charges.

Trump added in the post, "They are all from violent crime (without retribution!) filled New York, are really bad Judges, are extraordinarily conflicted and unfair, and most obviously to all, suffer from a rare but very lethal disease, TDS, commonly known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME."

Significantly, both Trump's civil fraud case in New York and his defamation lawsuit against E Jean Carroll were overseen by Judges Engoron and Kaplan, respectively.

Furthermore, Loren, the daughter of Judge Merchan, holds an executive position at a progressive political consulting firm. The firm has previously collaborated with Democratic figures including Vice President Harris and President Biden. Trump has already directed criticism towards her.

According to The Associated Press, Loren Merchan seemed to be the user of an account on the social media site X that had an image of Trump in jail as its profile picture.

According to a court spokesperson, the photo had been changed and the account had gone private, meaning she was no longer associated with it.

Internet criticizes Trump for mocking judges involved in his legal battles

Several people on the internet slammed Donald Trump as he made fun of the judges who have been involved in his legal disputes by posing the question of which one is the worst or most dishonest.

A user wrote on X, "That’s how cowards behave," while one added, "Donny Diaper boy… MAGA is dead…."

A person also wrote, "Terrified old criminal screams at his karma catching up."



 



 



 

A user added, "Trump continues to undermine the courts, part of the very foundation of this nation, yet again," whereas one mentioned, "The clown is always against people who don’t agree with him! Lock him up already!"



 



 

A person also wrote, "He is such an unserious narcissist. Trump cares about Trump and would destroy everything and anything to save his own sorry a**."
