Trump HATES / LOVES the judge from Colombia.



On Judge Juan Merchan:



“The judge hates Donald Trump,” Trump said, speaking of himself in third person. “Just take a look. Take a look at him. Take a look at where he comes from. He can’t stand Donald Trump. He’s doing everything in his power.”

Merchan was born in Colombia, moved to the U.S. when he was 6, and was raised and attended undergrad and law school in New York. He spent years building his legal resume.

MSNBC contributor Sam Stein—and former Daily Beast politics editor—said the language was “typical Trump,” comparing the situation to an incident in 2016 when Judge Gonzalo Curiel oversaw the case involving the defrauding of Trump University students. At the time, Trump chided the judge for being Mexican.

On Judge Aileen Cannon:



Asked on “Sunday Morning Futures” on Fox News whether he believes the judge will grant the motion, Trump said he did not know.

“I know it’s a very highly respected judge. A very smart judge, and a very strong judge,” Trump said.

When host Maria Bartiromo noted that Trump appointed the judge in the case, Trump said, “I did, and I’m very proud to have appointed her.”

“But she’s very smart and very strong, and loves our country,” Trump said. “We need judges that love our country so they do the right thing.”
