'He Hates Me': Donald Trump Lashes Out Over Stormy Daniels Hush Money Case After 'Scoundrel' Judge Sets Trial for April 15

Donald Trump suffered a major meltdown after the judge overseeing his Stormy Daniels hush money case set a trial date for next month, RadarOnline.com can report.

Trump rushed to Truth Social shortly after Judge Juan Merchan announced that the ex-president’s trial for the suspected falsification of business records would start in New York on April 15.

While Trump attacked Judge Merchan, he also attacked the judge’s daughter and the hush money allegations against him.

“Judge Juan Merchan, a very distinguished looking man, is nevertheless a true and certified Trump Hater who suffers from a very serious case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” the embattled ex-president charged on Truth Social on Tuesday. “In other words, he hates me!”

“His daughter is a senior executive at a Super Liberal Democrat firm that works for Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff, the Democrat National Committee, (Dem)Senate Majority PAC, and even Crooked Joe Biden,” Trump added.

The former president also ranted about another trial that Judge Merchan previously oversaw involving ex-Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg.

Weisselberg pleaded guilty to “very minor” tax charges and was sentenced to five months in prison earlier this year.

“He was recently the judge on an unrelated trial of a long-term employee, elderly and not in good health,” Trump said regarding Judge Merchan and Allen Weisselberg on Tuesday. “This judge treated him viciously, telling him either you cooperate or I’m putting you in jail for 15 years.”

“He pled, and went to jail for very minor offenses, highly unusual, served 4 months in Rikers, and now they are after him again, this time for allegedly lying (doesn’t look like a lie to me!), and they threatened him again with 15 years if he doesn’t say something bad about ‘TRUMP,’” the ex-president continued.

“He is devastated and scared!” Trump concluded. “These COUNTRY DESTROYING SCOUNDRELS & THUGS HAVE NO CASE AGAINST ME. WITCH HUNT!”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Trump was indicted in April 2023 for allegedly falsifying New York business records to conceal hush money payments he made to adult film star Stormy and model Karen McDougal.

Flash forward to Monday, and Judge Merchan ruled that Trump’s trial would start on April 15. It was previously scheduled to kick off on March 25.
