Last week she spoke to the Associated Press, stating that, while she does not want to talk about Trump, she predicts that his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, will “have a few appointments to make to the Supreme Court.”
In a later interview with the New York Times, Ginsburg took the jabs a step further, declaring that Trump "has no consistency about him," and is a “faker,” before making her remarks about moving out of the country.
"Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me,” Trump complained. "Her mind is shot — resign!"
Trump followed up with a tweet declaring that the Washington Post and New York Times editorial boards condemned her statements.

Another tweet from the real-estate-speculator-turned-political-candidate followed, asking if she would be apologizing.

The extremely liberal Ginsburg was appointed to the court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton, which Trump supporters have noted, crying foul.
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) appeared on CNN, asserting that her comments show bias. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) also weighed in, declaring her statements to be "totally inappropriate.”
"It raises a level of skepticism that the American people have from time to time about just how objective the Supreme Court is, whether they're over there to call the balls and strikes, or weigh in on one side or another," McConnell told the AP.
