Having already dissed the civilian judicial system, now he's decided the military courts suck, too - for issuing a decision he doesn't agree with.

Donald J. Trump rarely apologizes. When it comes to the case of the Central Park Five, he has never even come close.

In 1989, after these black and Latino teenagers from Harlem were accused of assaulting and raping a white woman in Central Park, Mr. Trump spent $85,000 placing full-page ads in the four daily papers in New York City, calling for the return of the death penalty.

“Muggers and murderers,” he wrote, “should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes.” Though he didn’t refer to the teenagers by name, it was clear to anyone in the city that he was referring to them.

Incredibly, 14 years after their sentences were vacated based on DNA evidence and the detailed and accurate confession of a serial rapist named Matias Reyes, Mr. Trump has doubled down.

Throw all his opponents in jail (also follow Putin's way). Everybody who is not the 1-2%er ya on your own. Tax the shit out of middle class and poor so his cronies can live like king and queens. GOPers agree.

I know it's fun to see Trump frustrated, but Bowe really was a pos. He got good men killed and wounded when they went to look for him after his coward desertion. This was definitely a miscarriage of justice.

and for Trump to disparage not only the sentence but the court itself is typical of his disregard for the whole system.
