This amounts to the disparity in the mind of Trump that amuses him. He and the First Lady took the week off, except, for holiday activities at the White House and now they are in Maralago, Mara something.
The Mouth needs to be reined in. We know the consequence of the angry words by Trump, it needs to stop. Today, while he enjoys his power and status in creating a week-long holiday for himself, his boredom and obsessive-compulsive observance of any political tone are again ruining at least the holidays for some. I guarantee the judges under verbal attack by Trump are beefing up their security right now.
The Congress needs to get a restraining order against Trump. His political bias is a real problem when it rises to hatred and angry words. We don't want any more dead Americans, let alone judges. He does NOT know how to conduct himself within the restraints of the presidency and there has to be something the Congress can do with him.

Recently, hatred against judges (click here) has even resulted in violence--from disgruntled defendants and convicts. On April 6, white supremacist Matthew Hale was sentenced to 40 years' imprisonment for soliciting the murder of federal judge Joan Lefkow--the same judge whose husband and mother were recently killed by someone else. And rape defendant Brian Nichols now stands accused of killing a Georgia Superior Court judge and three others in connection with his March escape from an Atlanta courthouse.
It may be a stretch to connect the criticism of controversial decisions with the violence that has occurred, or may occur in the future--but some Republicans have done so. For instance, Senator John Cornyn said recently that "raw political or ideological decisions" could help to explain this violence. He implied that Congressional intervention in judicial decisionmaking was necessary in order to forestall additional violence.
Meanwhile, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay ominously remarked, referring to the judges who declined to prohibit the removal of Terry Schiavo's feeding tube, "The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior." Senator Frank Lautenberg felt so strongly about this comment that he wrote DeLay a letter stating that DeLay's comments "may violate a Federal criminal statute" prohibiting threats against federal judges.
How can we protect our judges from violence? Answering this question is more difficult than it might seem--and simply hiring more U.S. Marshals, while a good idea, doesn't address why judges are threatened. Tragically, our system may preclude perfect--or near-perfect--protection of our judges....
