Donald Trump: 'If something happens blame' the judge

President Donald Trump spent the weekend at his Mar-A-Lago estate in Florida, disconnected from White House staff and once again tweeting attacks on a federal judge. His ire was aimed at US District Judge James Robart, who last week put a nationwide hold on Trump's executive order barring citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US for 90 days, all refugees for 120 days and indefinitely halts refugees from Syria. Trump attacks another federal judge "Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!" the President wrote, not just attacking the decision but going after the judge who may yet make more decisions on the matter. Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 5, 2017 This came after a Saturday tweetstorm where Trump called Robart a "so-called judge." The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017 What is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into U.S.? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 4, 2017 People close to the White House said over the weekend that Trump's attacks will be a problem -- particularly as his administration shepherds his Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch toward confirmation. "No one was happy the President attacked the judge," one official said. And Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" its not the best idea to attack judges. "I think it's best not to single out judges for criticism. We all get disappointed from time to time," he said Sunday, before Trump's latest tweet. Despite that feeling, Trump did it again Sunday, tweeting that Robart deserves blame for putting the United States "in peril." He then added: "I have instructed Homeland Security to check people coming into our country VERY CAREFULLY. The courts are making the job very difficult!" I have instructed Homeland Security to check people coming into our country VERY CAREFULLY. The courts are making the job very difficult! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 5, 2017 The incident recalls Trump's attacks on the campaign trail on Judge Gonzalo Curiel, an Indiana-born judge with Mexican ancestry, who Trump accused of making rulings in the Trump University class action lawsuit because he is "Mexican." "We are building a wall. He's a Mexican," Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper during the campaign. "We're building a wall between here and Mexico."
