Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday decided to send a Truth Social post during his New York fraud civil trial attacking Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron’s principal law clerk as Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D) “girlfriend,” sharing an image of Ashley Greenfield and Schumer smiling in a photograph and linking to her Instagram profile.
“Schumer’s girlfriend, Alison [sic] R. Greenfield, is running this case against me. How disgraceful! This case should be dismissed immediately,” the post said.
While the move is to legal observers likely to spark more gag order talk, as Trump’s social media postings have in his Jan. 6 federal criminal case, the former president is predictably posting about Allison Greenfield while sharing a photo of her with Schumer, the top Democrat in the Senate, to signal to his supporters that they, New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) and Judge Engoron (D) are playing politics to destroy his family business.

Judge Arthur Engoron has quite the history.
He was a cabbie, piano and drum teacher and band member. He’s burned through three wives......his latest is some kind of New Age therapist. He’s an egoistic and eccentric jerk who cannot resist including himself in his rulings.
Engoron’s judicial rulings are rife with biographical info, part full-disclosure, part nostalgia.
He revealed in one decision that he participated in “huge, sometimes boisterous, Vietnam War protests.” He’s also described himself as a free-speech absolutist and said he’s been a member of the American Civil Liberties Union since 1994, and the Jewish Lawyer’s Guild.
Engoron, who describes Trump as “just a bad guy” also fancies himself a real estate appraiser, which is critical to the trial. Engoron himself decided the value of Mar A Lago in order to hold Trump for trial.
This bench-sitter valued Mar A Lago at $18 million. Real estate professionals find that absurd.
This decision, which came down without a jury, has sent shockwaves through political — and real estate — circles, especially that $18 million base value for the property.
One prominent Palm Beach real estate broker, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told The Post, “It’s utterly delusional to think that property is only worth $18 million.”
The insider added, “If that property were on the market today, I would list it for $300 million.
a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king.
I'm beginning to see that most of you deserve what is coming.
LOL. Guy’ll try anything.
“You’re taking it literally”
No. I’m joking. But I’m from NY suburbia and get Trumps jokes much more readily than others. I assume the geographic and cultural proximity makes it easier for me to understand he’s joking
Hello!!!
When your enemy play Smash Mouth and you play by the Marquis of Queensberry rules, that’s a problem.
And the judge issued a gag order on Trump.

Wow!
Unbelievable!
Addressing is one thing. But referring to is another. And the Leftist MSM never misses a chance to throw in "former" when referring to Donald Trump. Or any other Republican.
“ Schumer’s girlfriend”
_____________________The law says - Truth is a defense to libel and slander. Now, will she have the guts to take it to trial?
The only girlfriend Chuckie ever had is more likely a 12 year old boy dressed like a girl at Epsteins Island.
Because she is a fan of The Simpsons?
I take it you stopped at the first sentence and missed: ‘When talking about the person to a third party, on the other hand, it’s appropriate to say, “former President LastName.”’
Is it just me, or does that judge look like a flaming pedophile?
Class act. Thanks for the well thought out and reasoned response.
“US Presidents are like US Marines. Ain’t no ‘former’ about it.”
There are EX Presidents though.
0bama, clinton, johnson, wilson.... And soon to be EX president bidung.
“Impartial referee”?
LOL, the guy is delusional.
If I were President Trump’s legal team, I’d jump on the fact that this “judge” has zero qualifications in appraising real estate values, and have real estate professionals lined up around the block to refute the claims by this “judge”, and that moron NYAG James.
It should be asked in open court was the judge ever a licensed appraiser? Was he ever a licensed real estate broker? Was he ever a licensed real estate agent?
Mar-a-Lago is over 63,000 sqft +/-, with 127 rooms.
There is currently a house for sale in Palm Beach that is around 1/10th the size and is currently listed for $40 million.
A 900 sqft condo is listed for almost $2 million.
A .28 acre piece of dirt, is listed for $12 million
But the judge says Mar-a-Lago is only worth $18 million? 🙄
