President Donald Trump had a midnight meltdown Thursday and found comfort in an old routine: whining about judges on social media.
This time around, Trump reserved his ire for U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who’s been assigned to hear arguments in a lawsuit regarding senior Trump administration officials disclosing national security information in an insecure group chat.
Boasberg has previously ruled in Trump’s favor numerous times, an inconvenient fact Trump decided to ignore Thursday when he accused the judge of harboring “hatred” for the president and having “Massive Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
“There is no way for a Republican, especially a TRUMP REPUBLICAN, to win before him,” wrote Trump.
Trump seemed particularly upset because, earlier this month, Boasberg blocked the administration from rounding up people and sending them to a maximum security prison in El Salvador without any due process.
“Boasberg ... seems to be grabbing the ‘Trump Cases’ all to himself, even though it is not supposed to happen that way,” Trump claimed. “Is there still such a thing as the ‘wheel,’ where the Judges are chosen fairly, and at random?”
According to a 2018 procedure guide for the court, cases are indeed assigned randomly via an “automated case assignment system.”
Trump concluded his post by slandering the justice system at large.
“Our Nation’s Courts are broken, with New York and D.C. being the most preeminent of all in their Corruption and Radicalism,” he said. “There must be an immediate investigation of this Rigged System, before it is too late!”
