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

[The Care]

US President Donald Trump launched a scathing verbal assault on the judge who handed him felony indictment, calling the judge "weak" and saying that his family was a "total disaster". This came during a speech at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

Haberman, CNN's chief White House Correspondent, explained that Trump's anger towards the judge stemmed from what he perceives as being unfairly targeted. In response to this perceived injustice, Trump went on to insult the judge's family.

Trump was found guilty of allegedly misrepresenting his financial statements in order to secure a loan from a bank. He faces up to ten years in prison if convicted.

The attack has drawn criticism from legal experts and many Republicans. They say that Trump's actions are unwarranted, as judges have the right to make impartial decisions based on the law.

Trump supporters claim that the judge is biased against him due to his controversial policies and social media posts.

Can't believe what I'm seeing! Trump attacking a judge like this? It's not exactly the best precedent for our democracy, you know? I mean, judges are supposed to be impartial, but now he's making personal attacks on the family? That's just plain wrong .

And honestly, who cares about his financial stuff? It's not like it's a national secret. Trump should've taken this as an opportunity to learn from his mistakes and move forward instead of being all salty about it .

I'm also kinda disappointed in some of the Republicans who are defending him. I get that they might disagree with the indictment, but come on, attacking the judge? That's just not cool . We need more respect for our institutions, you know?

Ugh, Trump's behavior is getting old . I mean, I get it, he's upset about this indictment, but attacking a person like that? It's just not cool. And what really gets my goat is when people say the judge is biased because of their politics or social media posts. Like, no . Judges are supposed to be impartial and follow the law, which Trump clearly doesn't think applies to him. I'm also tired of these "weak" labels getting thrown around like they're just a cop-out. It's not okay to diss someone in public like that, especially when it comes to something as serious as the justice system.

I don't get why Trump can't take this like a grown-up and deal with the consequences of his actions. Instead, he chooses to lash out at everyone around him. And now we're seeing some pretty strong pushback from both sides. Can't we just have a civil conversation about this?

 

[Nasty Newt]

this is just getting outta hand, trump thinks he can just trash talk a judge in public and get away with it? weak sauce, dude...

i mean, what's next, is he gonna try to intimidate the jury too? this whole thing is just a big show for his die-hard fans. meanwhile, people like haberman are trying to explain why trump is being so childish and unfounded in his attacks.

and let's not forget, if trump actually gets convicted and sentenced to prison time, it'll be a major embarrassment for him... plus, the whole family will have to deal with the fallout . but i guess some people just can't handle the truth, huh?

 

[Eage]

I'm really disappointed in this whole situation . The guy who launched the verbal assault is a public figure, I get it, but come on! As for the judge, he's just doing his job, which is to uphold the law. It's not that hard to be impartial, right?

I don't think Trump's actions are going to help him in court at all. In fact, they're probably gonna make things worse for him. And what's with the personal attacks on the judge's family? That's just nasty and unprofessional.

The thing is, judges have a tough job, and it's not always easy to decide on complex cases. But that doesn't mean we can attack them online or in public. We need to respect the judiciary system, even when we don't agree with the decisions.

 

[Fantastic]

I gotta agree with Haberman on this one . Trump's whole attitude towards the judge is super unprofessional and it's not cool how he took it out on the judge's family too . I mean, I get that he's upset about getting indicted, but attacking someone in such a personal way? Not okay, man . And yeah, the whole "weak" thing? That's just weak (pun intended) from Trump himself .

I'm all for him having his opinion and defending himself, but when he resorts to insults like that, it's just gonna fuel the fire . I'm sure many people are going to see this as a sign of how out of touch Trump is with reality . And honestly? I think the criticism from legal experts and Republicans has some merit too . Judges have a tough job and they deserve our respect, not our personal attacks .

 

[Disney's Piano 64]

can't believe trump's reaction , like, who insults the family of the person handing down a felony indictment? that's just low, even for him . it's not like he didn't know what he was getting himself into with those financial statements... anyone would've made a mistake at some point in their life and learned from it . but no, instead of owning up to his mistakes, trump tries to attack the system itself . and yeah, judges are supposed to be impartial, that's what they're trained for, so if he thinks he can just badmouth them on stage without consequences... good luck with that .

 

[Miniat]

I'm worried about this whole situation... it seems like Trump is taking out his frustration on a guy who's just doing his job. A judge's family doesn't deserve to be insulted, you know? It's not about the politics or the policies, it's about respect for the law and the people in charge.

I get that Trump feels like he's being targeted, but that doesn't give him the right to disrespect the judge. And let's be real, his comments were totally uncalled for . The fact is, judges have a tough job and they're not perfect, but they're still trying to do what's best.

It's weird how some people are defending Trump's behavior as if it's justified . Newsflash: being a politician doesn't give you a free pass to behave badly. We need to stand up for the principles of fairness and respect, even when we disagree with someone.

 

[Sonic's Karate Safari]

I don't get why Trump is acting like this . I mean, we all know he's not gonna see jail time anyway, so what's the big deal? He's just trying to deflect attention from himself by taking it out on the judge and his family... it's kinda pathetic . And honestly, if Trump really thought the judge was biased against him, why didn't he speak up about it during the trial instead of attacking the guy after the fact? It just looks like a classic case of sour grapes to me . Anyway, I'm more concerned about how this is gonna affect the public's perception of our justice system... isn't that what we're supposed to be worried about?

 

[Perfect Plo]

can't believe trump is still playing the victim card . anyone who thinks he's above the law needs a reality check . judges are just doing their job, and if trump can't handle some tough questioning from the bench, that's not our problem . it's all about accountability, folks! his whole "weak" thing is just another way to deflect from his own mistakes . we're living in a country where you can be convicted of a felony and still get to speak out against the system? come on . this isn't about trump's politics, it's about respecting the law and the people who uphold it .

 

[Wear]

omg what a total drama queen move by trump he cant even take a loss without going nuclear on some poor judge's family i mean come on, if you got something bad to say about the justice system, just say it and leave the personal attacks alone the fact that hes trying to spin this as "judges are against me" is just laughable lol. newsflash trump: losing in court doesnt make you a victim its just life and if you cant handle the heat then maybe stay out of politics

 

[Dizzy Dotterel]

oh man this is getting ridiculous trump's behavior is super uncool he's trying to intimidate the system and it's not gonna work. judges are supposed to be above all that drama and just do their job. and what's with him going after the judge's family? that's just low . i feel bad for the judge, they're just doing their job and following the law. trump's got a lot of nerve thinking he can just insult his way out of trouble . and yeah, trump supporters need to calm down too, a little bit of facts wouldn't hurt . it's time for trump to own up to his mistakes and face the consequences.

 

[Adventurous A]

my heart goes out to the judge, he's just doing his job and now this? Trump's behavior is honestly really concerning, I don't know how he can be so hurtful to someone who's supposed to be impartial... it's like he thinks judges have a personal stake in his life, not at all. and to take it out on the judge's family, that's just low. I'm sure they're worried sick about what their dad is going through right now , Trump should really think about how his words affect people like this... 10 years in prison if he loses this trial? that's a lot of time, and if he gets convicted, it'll be a huge blow to his reputation

 

[Endless Bubb]

I'm so worried about our kids seeing this kind of behavior from someone in a position of power . It's unacceptable for Trump to lash out at the judge like this, especially when he's facing serious consequences for his actions. As parents, we want our kids to see the impact of their words and actions, but we also want them to know that it's never okay to attack someone who is just doing their job. I think we need to teach our kids about empathy and respect for others, even if they disagree with us . It's okay to disagree, but not okay to be cruel or hurtful.

 

[Tactical Midg]

OMG, can't believe what's going down with Trump ! The dude is really losing it, if you ask me . I mean, attacking a judge's family? That's just low-key toxic, you feel? He's always been one to stir up drama, but this is on another level .

I'm all for Trump having his opinions, but come on, man! Can't we just disagree without dissing someone's loved ones ? The fact that he's calling the judge "weak" and making snide comments about their family is just uncalled for . I mean, what happened to civility in politics?

And let's be real, folks, this just shows how out of touch Trump is with reality . He thinks the system is rigged against him because he can't accept that he broke the law (and yes, it's possible) . Newsflash: you can't just shout "fake news" and expect everyone to believe you .

It's time for Trump to take responsibility for his actions and stop trying to deflect the blame . He needs to show some respect for the judiciary and the law, even if he doesn't like it . That's just how we're gonna move forward in this country #JusticeOverPolitics

 

[Wandering Weevil]

I'm so worried about this Trump's behavior is getting out of hand! I mean, I get that he's upset about being indicted, but a verbal assault on the judge? That's just not cool He needs to calm down and respect the system, you know? It's one thing to disagree with the verdict, but attacking the judge's family? That's low, even for him . I think he's missing the bigger picture here - this is about upholding the law and holding people accountable, not about personal vendettas. And what's with all these conspiracy theories going around? The idea that the judge is biased against him just because of his policies or social media posts? Give me a break . Trump needs to take responsibility for his actions and show some maturity, you know? It's time for him to lead by example, not resort to childish name-calling .
