A Manhattan federal judge blasted Donald Trump’s “entirely inappropriate” posts on Truth Social Wednesday — as witness testimony began in E. Jean Carroll’s civil rape case against the former president.
Trump, 76, took to his social media platform about an hour before the second day of the trial began, claiming Carroll’s case was “a made up SCAM” and accusing her lawyers of being “political operatives.”
He also called for the dress the former advice columnist wore on the day of the alleged rape to be brought into the trial — something that Carroll sought to do early on in the case to compare the garment against Trump’s DNA.
Judge Lewis Kaplan — who previously ruled that nothing about Trump’s DNA would come into the trial — grilled the ex-president’s lawyer about the post before the jury was brought in, warning that the message appeared to be meant for the panel.

Folks here love his lack of discernment and self-control.
The plaintiff here is a total lunatic this case should have never come to trial it’s absurd.
And nothing learned.
Who here loves that?
I see nothing wrong with what he said. What it does show is the Judge is NY rat hack and Trump has no chance of a fair trail..again.
Nothing says “judicial objectivity” like a Rapin Bill stooge presiding over a Democrat lawfare kangaroo trial in a Democrat stronghold...
Trump’s right, tough that many can’t handle the truth and are opposed to free speech.
We love Trump and despise soy boys. That's who.
Trump is right. If there was ever a claim of DNA on a Dress to advance this rape accusation then the Dress needs to come into evidence. Put up or shut up. No DNA? Case dismissed...
What’s wrong with telling the people what he thinks?
This is no different than his lawyer stepping out of the courtroom making a statement of the exact same things.
Yes, of course. It's called innocent until PROVEN guilty.
Thank you for your ignorant and condescending comment there, Mr Simpleton. 22 years on FR, and 32 years before the bar. The latter has taught me that defendants, whether in civil or criminal cases, should keepin their f’in mouths shut in public while their trials are in progress. Nothing to be gained, and lots to be lost.
I’m sure this case is an exception to this rule /s/
Why shouldn’t Trump be allowed to defend himself against this lying nutjob, he’s in the middle of a presidential campaign after all. This whole thing is just a political hitjob.
How does a citizen disrespect a judicial system that has no repect for equal justice under the law. It is not possible.
No what we like about him is that he’s not a lackey of the deep state like your boy DeSantis is.
I’ll say what I say about EVERY high profile rape allegation; If you did not call the police at the time of the event and file charges, and seek only to bring such allegations to light when the alleged attacker seeks high office, you have forfeit any reasonable expectation to be believed.
Period, full stop.
Freedom of speech.
I believe that is truly Trump’s opinion.
They should put up real evidence to have something like this brought to trial. Slandering someone on someone else’s dime is just about as nasty an environment as it gets. Extraordinary claims should require verifiable evidence, not just she said some 40 years later with no prior law enforcement notification or trackable complaint.
FYI, the person that Joe Biden raped had on file accusation and complaint, and the media didn’t care.
And you follow the media queues and let your hatred for Trump cloud your judgement.
