Trump Bragged to Woodward About Appointing Judges

When President Trump sat down in the Oval Office with author Bob Woodward for the first of 18 eventual interviews, the president brought up judicial appointments four times and even had a list of judicial appointment orders displayed, prop-like, on the Resolute Desk — “kind of like he was cherishing it,” Woodward recounted to the Washington Post.

Trump boasted that he and McConnell “have broken every record” on judges, saying the issue is the majority leader’s top priority.

Said Trump: “The only one that has a better percentage is George Washington, because he appointed 100 percent. But my percentage is, you know, like, ridiculous.”
