Former President Donald Trump has boasted that he regards being indicted as “a badge of honor.” If so, he has racked up quite a pile of badges. Last week’s latest federal indictment brought the total number of criminal charges against him in New York State court and federal courts in Florida and in Washington, D.C., to nearly 80, and he is about to be awarded another batch of badges by a grand jury in Georgia. So, it has been a bumper crop for Trump where badges of honor are concerned, and things are about to get bumpier.
In truth, Trump did not seem all that honored when he stopped at Reagan National Airport on Thursday to speak to reporters after being arraigned. He lashed out at trash collection in Washington before boarding his private plane, now evidently renamed “Arraignment One” for all of the shuttling back and forth between arraignments it has been doing.
That Trump was not feeling quite as honored by the new criminal indictment was strongly suggested by his furious reaction to it. “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M GOING AFTER YOU” proclaimed our model citizen on his social media platform, which sounded an awful lot like a threat to potential witnesses against him, of which there is no shortage. Among those that he appears to be going after is the federal judge assigned to the new case, who has been no-nonsense when it comes to handling the criminal cases in front of her brought against Trump’s Jan. 6 foot soldiers. Trump is demanding that she recuse herself.
