I dont have a problem with the point of the tweet. But calling the judge “so-called” was a boneheaded move that is completely counfer-productive and distracting from the point. After all, the judge IS a legally appointed judge. Point Democrats.

Yes, and there have been countless judges “legally appointed” by ruthless dictators throughout history. And more than a few of these “so-called” judges have sentenced political enemies to death. And this so-called judge in Washington will have done essentially the same thing should any incoming jihadist end up murdering American citizens.

I agree with you completely. My only point is that by calling him a "so-called" judge, Trump has handed the left a talking point -- that he doesn't respect the judiciary and the Constitution.

I heard that very point argued aggressively by leftists today on Fox News, specically citing "so-called" as evidence of Trump's disrespect fot the judiciary. If Trump had left out "so-called," his point would have remained just as valid. But "so-called" gave the left something to argue to the LIVs. Bad optics, and unnecessary.
