You'd have to assume Trump suddenly stands for rule of law--against all signs to the contrary.
Sure, it is a mild personal attack to call someone outside the forum a "weirdo religious lady." "Weirdo" is the operative word here, not "religious."
I think you're digging too deeply, Trump is a shallow guy. She was recommended by people he trusted. She's a woman (no longer a redundant statement), she's religious and she's conservative. She ticks off every box for him. I know the theory that she's a reliable vote in his corner in the result of a disputed election, but would that not be a concern for anyone Trump nominated at this point? If her being a complete activist, and not a judge in the traditional and desired sense, was a major concern then the Dem senators would have been all over it during the confirmation process. As I stated previously, Barrett didn't give anyone a reason to not vote for her on a personal level and I think the Dems basically conceded that and went for political posturing during the hearings.
