On April 2, 2025, at 02:24:54 UTC, Raskin criticized former President Trump and business magnate Elon Musk for allegedly receiving numerous judicial injunctions due to committing an "unprecedented number of illegal actions." Raskin defended the judiciary by arguing that these injunctions are not the result of "rogue district judges," but rather the actions of a "rogue president violating the Constitution & breaking the law every day."
