It really is a pretty brilliant move on Trump's part to stall this trial until after the election and the judge fell right into the mess. Had he remained above the fray when Donald threw the mud, the judge could have pretended to be impartial and done what he liked. Having responded as he did, the case is now one of politics and he will be criticized severely if he pushes it hard or possibly even if he does not recuse himself. And even if he doesn't recuse or back off, anything unfavorable to Trump is diminished in impact because of politics.
Say what you want about the man, but Trump plays this game of blood sport politics as good as any Democrat alive. Republicans have always tried to pretend like they were better than that while the Democrats with no scruples ran circles around them. Trump fights.
