Trump's tirade against a judge and his family raises eyebrows, Haberman says. The former US President targeted the judge who is presiding over his case on felony charges, labeling him "a disaster" and saying he had made a mistake in appointing him to the bench.
Haberman attributes Trump's aggressive language towards the judicial system as a way of deflecting attention from the fact that he is facing serious allegations. She notes that Trump's attacks also indicate that he believes there are deep-seated problems within the judiciary and the US electoral system.
Trump has long been critical of the federal judiciary, labeling it "deep state" and claiming that judges are biased against him. However, Haberman says that this rhetoric is now taking on a more personal tone with Trump's attacks on individual judges and their families.

... like, dude, you're trying to deflect from the fact that you're being sued for some serious stuff? Newsflash: just because you're a former president doesn't mean you get a free pass to insult anyone who dares to question your actions 
. And by the way, "a disaster" and "made a mistake in appointing him" is not how you say that... unless you want to come off as petty and unprofessional 
. I mean, I get it, Trump's used this line of attack before, but now he's taking it up a notch by targeting judges' families? That's just low 
.
. Trump's outburst towards the judge is like, super worrying... I mean, have you seen his approval ratings? They've been in the toilet for ages 
. Anyway, according to a recent Gallup poll, 64% of Americans believe that judges are impartial and fair. But Trump's actions suggest he's not buying it 
. It's like people are fed up with the whole system... but how can we trust Trump to fix it when he's already attacking the very people who might help him? 
. We need to take a closer look at what's going on and how we can restore trust in our institutions...
. Trump's getting personal with a judge who's just doing his job. It's like he thinks the judiciary is supposed to be subservient to him or something 
. We need to call out this kind of behavior ASAP 
.
. And honestly, I get why Haberman is pointing out that this kind of personal attack stuff is really concerning - it sets a bad precedent for how we're supposed to treat our judges and the judiciary as a whole 
. Still, it's hard not to wonder if there's some truth to what Haberman is saying - maybe Trump does genuinely believe that there's some kind of deep-seated problem within the judiciary and electoral system? 
It's definitely a possibility...
. I mean, who uses words like "disaster" to describe someone? It's not just the judge, it's the whole family - that's some serious name-calling right there 
.
anyway, i think haberman hits the nail on the head, trump's trying to deflect attention from the fact that he's being charged with felonies. he's also showing his true colors by taking out personal shots at the judge and their family... like, what's next, a hit piece? 
not buying it for one second!
