nd when the courts ruled against the original version of his travel ban, he seemed unable or unwilling to recognize that taking on an independent branch of the federal government is qualitatively different than, say, mocking Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ratings on “The Apprentice”:

Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!

The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!

The judge opens up our country to potential terrorists and others that do not have our best interests at heart. Bad people are very happy!

It is different not only because attacking the judiciary threatens the foundations of American democracy, but because federal judges, although less famous than television personalities, wield great power in the real, as opposed to “reality,” world. And while one expects them to hold themselves above a petty desire to retaliate against those who attack them, they are, like Trump himself, only human. And it seems likely he will have much more business before the federal courts before his term expires.
And his future is also, in part, in the hands of Mueller, who appears to be broadening his investigation in ways that bode ill for Trump. So it would seem prudent to avoid antagonizing the special counsel with a provocative tweet — like the one that went out Thursday morning, an hour after @realDonaldTrump tweeted about “obstruction of justice on the phony story.”
Trump doesn't really get the concept of checks and balances yet, and I'm not sure his ego will let him wrap what is left of his mind around the idea either.
