Trump’s True Crimes
Episode 67: Attack on Judges & Jurors
They call it the bedrock of democracy: an independent judiciary, free from threats, intimidation, or retaliation. But Donald Trump… sees it differently.
Over the past several years, Trump has waged an unprecedented campaign of attacks against judges, jurors, prosecutors, and anyone involved in his legal troubles. He’s mocked judges’ appearances, questioned their integrity, and even threatened their families. It’s not just political theater — it’s calculated intimidation.
When jurors are empaneled in cases involving Trump, security measures spike. Court officials now warn jurors not to reveal personal details — because Trump’s words turn into his followers’ actions. Federal agencies have tracked a sharp rise in violent threats after his posts targeting judges go live.
Legal experts call this a direct attack on the rule of law. And yet, Trump doubles down — framing himself as a victim while weaponizing anger against the very people tasked with holding him accountable.
Witnesses hesitate. Jurors are pressured. Judges face scrutiny and harassment outside the courtroom. Trump’s rhetoric has transformed what should be impartial proceedings into a political battlefield.
The implications go beyond any single trial. When the justice system itself becomes a target, the entire democracy is under threat. And while Trump continues to rally his base, the courts are forced to navigate this unprecedented pressure, upholding law and order in the face of intimidation.
