The day after he was convicted of 34 felonies for falsifying business records relating to paying hush money to a porn star, former president Donald Trump stood in the lobby of Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan and attacked the judge who presided over the case. Trump said Judge Juan Merchan “looks like an angel, but he’s really a devil,” and accused Merchan of being a “tyrant.”
One need not even have a law degree from Trump University to realize that attacking the one person who now holds your criminal sentence in his hands is a suboptimal legal strategy.
