It’s better if he doesn’t fill them, given the kind of people he nominates.

Again, that doesn’t stop him from nominating people.

I think the issue is that conservative lawyers who would be nominated by Trump don’t want to spend their lives and careers living in DC full-time as a judge. They despise cities, they want their big place in the countryside, and they loath spending the rest of their years in DC as a judge. So they use big cities as a wedge issue to complain about crime and lax judges, but they don’t actually want to put in the work as a judge for the rest of their lifetimes to fix the problem. That’s someone else’s responsibility.

How many of these vacancies predate Trump?

so he can keep complaining about "liberal judges" without doing anything about it. Gotta manufacture outrage.
