President Donald Trump took to Truth Social Friday to rant at the judicial system during an ongoing clash with U.S. District Court James E. Boasberg.
It's Trump's latest attack since his administration allegedly ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn around a plane full of Venezuelan immigrants being flown to prison in El Salvador.
On Thursday, Judge Boasberg issued an "angry order," according to The New York Times, telling the administration "to explain why he should not find that officials had violated his instructions for the flights to return to the United States."
Trump posted Friday, "No District Court Judge, or any Judge, can assume the duties of the President of the United States. Only Crime and Chaos would result. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

The Times claimed Boasberg was edging closer "to holding the Trump administration in contempt for possibly having violated his ruling."
"Judge Boasberg’s three-page order was a remarkable display of frustration with an administration that has sought not only to use the extraordinary powers of the wartime law, the Alien Enemies Act, to pursue its immigration agenda, but has also stubbornly refused to provide even the most basic information about the deportation flights," wrote reporter Alan Feuer.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. issued a statement this week, saying, "The Government maintains that there is no justification to order the provision of additional information, and that doing so would be inappropriate, because even accepting Plaintiffs' account of the facts, there was no violation of the Court's written order (since the relevant flights left U.S. airspace, and so their occupants were 'removed,' before the order issued), and the Court's earlier oral statements were not independently enforceable as injunctions."
John Roberts, chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, issued a rare public rebuke after Trump and others demanded that Judge Boasberg be impeached.
“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose," he wrote.
