Judging the judicial system

Millions of Americans are watching how the judicial system is treating Donald Trump.
Is he being treated fairly?
For example, would the New York prosecution of him overly allegedly exaggerating his financial assets
been brought against him if he were not so unpopular in New York?
Critical people there are NY AG Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron.

Donald Trump is reacting angrily to the judicial onslaught against him.

Obviously, Trump is angry.
But who can blame him?

The judicial system relies on the support of the people.
If half of the population views it as persecuting Trump,
some of those people will inevitably start to question the impartiality of the judiciary.
