After being refused a chance to postpone his civil trial against E Jean Carroll so he could attend his mother-in-law’s funeral, Donald Trump unleashed a tirade on a court in New York City via Independent.
The former president accused judge Lewis A. Kaplan of having “Trump derangement syndrome” and called him “a bad person and a worse judge” in a biting post on his social media network Truth Social on Saturday.
He had stated he needed to do so to console his wife Melania following the recent loss of her mother, Amalija Knavs.
Judge Kaplan’s judgment from Friday denied Mr. Trump’s request for a one-week postponement of his civil trial, which will decide how much he must pay journalist E Jean Carroll in damages.
The trial is due to begin on Tuesday.
“Crazed, Trump hating Judge, Lewis Kaplan, who presided over the Election Interference Witch Hunt, disguised as a trial, of a woman I have never met before (celebrity photo line does not count – I had no idea who she was!), was asked if he could delay this Rigged Political Scam for one day so that I could attend the FUNERAL OF MY BELOVED MOTHER-IN-LAW WITH MY WIFE, THE FORMER (AND NEXT!) FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES — AND HE SAID NO,” Mr Trump wrote.
“He is a bad person and an even worse Judge.
“Appointed by, and friends with, Clinton, he purposely scheduled this HOAX right in the middle of the important New Hampshire Primary.
“This is the second trial concerning the same person, who is represented and financed by POLITICAL OPERATIVES. It could have taken place at any time, including months ago.
“Can anyone imagine a husband not going to his wife’s mother’s funeral over a MADE UP STORY – A story that has been allowed to simmer by a really bad Judge who suffers from TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!”
