Former President Donald Trump used his Truth Social platform to extend Thanksgiving wishes to his supporters, unleashing a scathing attack on key figures involved in his legal troubles. Trump criticized New York Attorney General Letitia James, trial judge Arthur Engoron, President Biden, and what he termed the “Radical Left Lunatics.”
In a provocative social media post, Trump accused James of incompetence and racism, linking her to an alleged surge in crime and business departures in New York State. He then turned his attention to Judge Engoron, branding him a “Psycho” who criminally defrauded the state by undervaluing Trump’s assets, a move Trump claims was designed to secure a fraud conviction even before trial.
Trump’s diatribe didn’t spare Chief Clerk Alison Greenfield, whom he accused of politically biased and corrupt collaboration with Judge Engoron. Greenfield, Trump alleged, influenced the judge’s decisions.

The former president also directed his ire at President Biden, accusing him of weaponizing the “Department of Injustice” against him and condemning a broader coalition of political adversaries, including “Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Democrats, & RINOS,” whom he accused of seeking to destroy the country.
“Have no fear, however, we will WIN the Presidential Election of 2024, & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” Trump declared optimistically.
The backdrop to Trump’s Thanksgiving message is the civil fraud case brought by James against Trump, his adult sons, and his business. The case alleges intentional inflation and deflation of asset values for tax and insurance benefits. Despite facing a ruling that he is liable for fraud, Trump continues to assert James’ incompetence and prejudice, insisting the trial should not proceed.
Trump’s ongoing disparaging posts led to a gag order barring participants from smearing court staff, a restriction temporarily lifted due to concerns about free speech. Amidst this legal turmoil, Trump’s legal team’s motion for a mistrial was recently denied.
The tumultuous legal saga surrounding Trump’s business dealings continues, with each development closely watched as it unfolds.
