According to Fox News, that total jumps to 187 (including 50 circuit courts of appeal and two Supreme Court justices) over the course of his administration.

“In terms of quality and quantity, we are going to be just about No. 1 by the time we finish – No. 1 of any president, any administration,” said Trump. According to Christian Headlines, “[all] 187 Trump-appointed federal judges have been confirmed by the GOP-controlled U.S. Senate.”
