Trump has appointed 13% of all federal judges, including 16% of federal appeals court judges. All this in only 16 months. He'll have almost 20% before the next congress is sworn in.
Since most analyses think the GOP will retain the Senate for at least the next term, at this rate Trump will have appointed 38% of all federal judges before his first term is over, including almost 1/3 of federal appeals court judges.
He will also have at least one more (probably 2) more SCOTUS justices before his first term is over.
Most of the judges Trump is replacing were Clinton appointees, followed by GHWB.
If Trump wins a second term, analysis shows that he will have appointed roughly half of the federal judgeships and at least 3 SCOTUS justices.
DANG!
