Pleeeeaaaase give this guy some consequences and not another stern talk and finger wag.
Hits bail needs to be revoked.
Fuck I would love to see actual consequences.
Bit worried that the gag order doesn't directly preclude this though. Like yeah it's clearly not in the spirit of, but is it a contravention?
Judges LOVE it when defendants try to get around court orders based on technicalities!
If I did a single thing this douchebag has done, I’d be in jail. Yet he’s the front runner for president for a political party. Blows my mind.
I cannot wait to not hear his name or voice again.

I suspect his obituary will only be the start of a decades long industry of books, articles and documentaries about him.
Unfortunately, he's a stain on this planet that won't go away for a very long time, even after he has a hamberder induced coronary.
Anyone else would have been arrested and jailed by now.
And his fan boys and girls all whine about him being picked on. We really are being played with.
Probably.
The judges in Trump's various cases have to walk a fine line between justice being served and accusations of being politically aggressive against a high profile defendant.
Accusations which could derail the case and do even more damage to trust in the judiciary and the overall rule of law.
accusations of being politically aggressive against a high profile defendant
Republicans already launch those accusations regardless of whether or not they have merit. Worrying about what Republicans are going to say is a losing game.
Well it's more about a mistrial. Anything that isn't clear cut is going to be grounds for an appeal.
And he’s the kind of person who’ll just keep stepping further over the line until the hammer finally comes down. Judges know this type, and they usually throw them in jail sooner because they know the violations will only get worse.
But I doubt this guy’s ever going to jail. He’s rich and famous, so…different rules.
Man, justice sure is swift for the poor and the nameless.
He can always be counted on to go lower.
Do not challenge him to a limbo match.
The cheeseberders would decide the outcome for him.
May?
Law is complicated and most of it is not updated for social media. I'm pretty sure he has a dedicated lawyer checking his statements for gag order violations and if the lawyer can't directly say if it's a gag order he goes ahead with it.
It's very important for trump to look defiant but not in a way that will send him to jail.

I don't share your certainty on that at all. Trump doesn't exactly employ the most qualified lawyers anymore, especially since he has a long history of not paying them and being complicit in sending them to jail. Also he would never let a lawyer hinder his impulse shitposting.

I wish I had your confidence in order and institutions. Either it was a F-tier lawyer https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhy5Y8xVHS0 or it was just Trump retweeting (or whatever it's called on his platform) an article of which he like the headline.
Remember Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity ... my money is on a toilet retweet
The man who doesn't know a consequence from a clitoris again broke the rules. Shocking, I wonder how they're gonna gently corrale him this time while his supporters go on a murder mission.
plane crash full of Republican "politicians" a la Lynyrd Skynyrd when
Ok it may not violate the gag order because to my knowledge threats again the AG are not covered. However that is a separate crime
How could we have predicted such an unprecedented action. /s
He looks fucked there. Serious addiction funked.
Geez he’s a putrid looking individual
Maybe that orange fuck wants to go to jail, so his cesspool raises up.
It's ridiculous. Any of us would be in jail if we did even a fraction of his antics.
Since people often think that's a simple matter of different justice for the wealthy or powerful, I feel it is necessary to point out that if Obama had done a small fraction of what Trump is accused of, he would have been executed.
While I don't normally condone death as a form of punishment, we have precedent with the Rosenberg's.
Executed as traitors, and if memory serves, for less flagrant violations. The fact that the orange stain continues to get away with all this shit astounds me.
Being an absolute traitor to your country while being the president... I'm sorry, but execution may be the only suitable solution, especially considering how many lives trump has had a direct hand in ending. Whether that be covid, compromised information to foreign powers (allegedly) that we have a history of NOT being friendly with, or just improper storage (including using it as some form of clout), or just general ineptitude.
If the US was a TV show, we jumped the shark when that fucker was forced in against the popular vote by the electoral college.
Then again, if memory serves, most GOP presidents in recent history have been forced through by the electoral college, as opposed to the will of the people.
Did he actually share it? Or did one of his assistants post it on his behalf? Time to start going after his support staff.
Not that I would ever suggest this but a few concealed bear traps would harm no one who didn't deserve it.
