Donald Trump has used his Truth Social app to voice disdain about his trial at every juncture, and now he’s speaking out about Judge Engoron enforcing his judgment. “Engoron laughed with disdain at the Appellate Division, his superior court, when they handed down a decision which essentially ended most of the case, and he REFUSED TO ABIDE BY IT,” wrote Trump on March 19 (via The New York Post). “This is the first time something like that has ever happened in New York State. He is a Crazed, Trump Hating, Rogue Judge, has ZERO respect for the Appellate Judges.” Trump also accused Engoron of ruining the legal system and creating hurdles for businesses in New York. “Existing businesses will flee!!!”
Trump continued to lash out at Engoron in subsequent posts about his trial judgment, claiming that Engoron was infringing on his right to appeal the decision. “Judge Engoron actually wants me to put up Hundreds of Millions of Dollars for the Right to Appeal his ridiculous decision,” wrote Trump (via Rolling Stone). “In other words, he is trying to take my Appellate Rights away from me when I have already won at the Appellate Division, but he refuses to accept their already made decision,” he continued.
Trump also compared the judgment to a “Witch Hunt” led by his political rivals (via The Hill).
