President Donald Trump tweeted after Saturday’s rally in Wisconsin an attack on Judge Andrew Napolitano, claiming the judge had come to him privately to ask for a Supreme Court nomination.
“Thank you to brilliant and highly respected attorney Alan Dershowitz for destroying the very dumb legal argument of ‘Judge’ Andrew Napolitano….” Trump began, following his praise of Harvard professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz with an immediate pivot to an attack on Napolitano.
“….Ever since Andrew came to my office to ask that I appoint him to the U.S. Supreme Court, and I said NO, he has been very hostile! Also asked for pardon for his friend. A good ‘pal’ of low ratings Shepard Smith,” the president concluded.
Trump appeared to be referring to the fallout from the recently-released Mueller report, which Napolitano has argued on his Fox Nation show “Judge Napolitano’s Chambers” stands as proof that the president obstructed justice.
“Prosecutors prosecute people who interfere with government functions and that’s what the president did by obstruction, where is this going to end? I don’t know, but I am disappointed in the behavior of the president,” Napolitano said, calling that behavior “immoral,” “criminal,” “defenseless” and “condemnable.”

Yes it does! I’ve been wondering what the hell was up with Napolitano lately.

Napolitano had previously said that he wouldn’t accept a SCOTUS seat, because he, in his own words (I heard him say them!), “wasn’t qualified” for a SCOTUS seat.

That is something pretty easy to say when you know you won't be offered a seat on the SCOTUS.
I'll be honest here. I am not qualified for a SCOTUS seat but I would accept on if offered.

Napolitano has said some wacky shit before, he has an extreme view on some 4th Amendment issues in particular that reject massive amounts of long-settled precedent, and has a gigantic ego which is not a great trait in a judge. He'd become an embarrassment pretty quickly in confirmation hearings. His hurt ego over not being named would explain him turning on Trump, but if you're gonna attack Trump, you can bet any dirt he has on you is coming out PDQ.
