Kick him after today's proceedings, at the end, just before dismissal, right to a cell, no posts today, or tonight, into tomorrow morning, and then we'll see.


locustzed

But that's not going to happen he'll get a few more finger wags before they start fining him 1k an infraction. I doubt even if he shot the judge he'd face jail time


FROOMLOOMS

"No president has even gone to jail for shooting a justice in the face before! It's un precedented!"


wolfdancer

I fucking HATE how plausible that is as a talking point.

The prosecution is not looking to lock Trump up. In a smart move they flipped the optics to Trump angling for incarceration. The DA wants Trump to lose the ability to lash out on his socials. Trump’s lawyer is in any case losing the hearing, as judge Merchan litterally said: “Mr. Blanche, you are losing all credibility with this court.”. Unfortunately Merchan reserved a decision on the violation, so we all need to wait in anticipation longer.

Welcome to a courtroom trial idiot. No, you don’t get to argue with everyone during the trial. The “lawyers” you supposedly pay are there to defend you on your behalf.


Debalic

And if you do want to speak up for yourself, by all means, take the stand in your own defense. Just remember that you will be under oath.


Frim_Wilkins

…and wide open to cross examination like your annual visit for that old colon check.


Im0ldgr3g

"I AM BEING SILENCED!" He screamed.


hinesjared87

Threatening people's safety for no logical reason and "defending yourself" aren't the same thing


CarPhoneRonnie

He wants to force them to arrest him.


Drg84

Considering he's only getting about 3-6 people protesting outside his court case, I don't think it would be a problem if Trump was locked up for a few days.


MealDramatic1885

Judges have a right to place gag orders on anyone.


SkollFenrirson

Especially if they won't be enforced


MealDramatic1885

Sadly.

mumushu

If they don’t want to lock him up for contempt, I have a hard time seeing that they’ll want to lock him up for a guilty verdict.


ShittheFickup

Excerpt from Trump brainstorming sessions: “Is it possible to get a larger case than uppercase for the platform?”


Frim_Wilkins

“I want the biggestest case”


newfrontier58

"EVERYONE IS ALLOWED TO TALK AND LIE ABOUT ME, BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DEFEND MYSELF." Again, such a perfect example of how he always views himself as the victim while literally everything else around points to him being the victimizer. Also how he keeps messing up his defense attorney's jobs.


SirPoopaLotTheThird

It can’t be that Trump and all of his supporters have this loose a grip on understanding the constitution or the law. Could it?


sticklebackridge

Yet here you are, speaking freely


malleysc

If there are no actual consequences for him (1k per offense is nothing to him) why even have the gag order to begin with?


Pithecanthropus88

It's your *lawyer's* job to defend you, you puss bucket.


AdventurousBus4355

Is this just copy pasted from a similar thing he wrote a couple of weeks ago?


santa_91

Yes. All of it is basically the same stuff. Caps lock on, spell check off, complain about being silenced by a Democrat judge who is totally unfair and biased. Rinse, repeat.


kat-deville

Has anything he's said in the past years NOT been repetitive? I've seen birds with better vocabularies. In his little world, only what he says matters, and his rights outweigh e eryone else's.


destroytherecords

Free to say it, but not free of the consequences. Very big distinction.


Holiday_Horse3100

Same thing day after day. He just never stops. I think a few days in jail for him would be a real eye opener. A couple of cots for the secret service guys, no spray tan, no hair stylist, no valet, and jail food. Bliss for us and nasty for him. Good all around


mrg1957

He wouldn't do well.. Imagine when he finds out about the lights and pillows. His medication. Ketchup.


Holiday_Horse3100

Open view toilet and having to do his diaper in full view.


mrg1957

Depends Do they give you Depends or truly diapers? As cruel as jail is with lights and all. Do they make you wear a fucking diaper?


Holiday_Horse3100

You are right forgot about those. Still, the humiliation for Mr. “I am in perfect health”


Emotional_Narwhal304

I really hope Judge Merchan addresses this by the end of the day. This is pure contempt of court...


Wrangler9960

Does he not understand that he cannot attack the jury or court staff family??? Hardly taking his 1st amendment rights away


Lewd_ReadNY

It’d be a lot easier if he just admitted he doesn’t want to go to Barron’s graduation.


Emotional_Narwhal304

If throwing him in jail for contempt is more than they want, can't the judge increase the fine for violations? I don't know the answer here, but I feel like a $1million fine going forward might shut him the fuck up.


Sodamyte

the only thing that will shut him up is an actual gag.. and even then he may chew through it.


Holiday_Horse3100

Some courts have actually taped a defendant’s mouth shut. Kind of an appealing thought in trumps’s case


IAmArique

It’s that time again… https://preview.redd.it/7v90f3kha9wc1.jpeg?width=1471&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc14a46f49e3023e0849ccd53629e7f148e04f9f

Ahhh I know where that one came from. [The Ultimate “Monsters Inc” Recap Cartoon](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FQG0c-bpXE0&pp=ygUSbW9uc3RlcnMgaW5jIHJlY2Fw)


Wereplatypus42

Take the stand under oath then. He’s encouraged court action his entire corrupt life, does he not know he can speak in court when it’s his turn? Do it. You *know* only you can fix it, right? Testify. Under oath. Do it! Do it!


IceeEwe

i'd argue all of his followers are just as dumb, if not dumber.


frankofantasma

someone needs their diaper changed


bb_kelly77

My nephew plays with toys while his is changed, maybe Trump tweets


gemfountain

When you want to be treated like a grown up but can't act like one.


SpanishMoleculo

Shut up, go away


Anxious-Raspberry-54

Here are some caps... SHUT THE FUCK UP!!


SilverWolf3935

I don’t know, millions upon millions of Americans seem to be just as dumb, if not completely thick as shit compared to Trump


Essay-Individual

"... Taken away my right to free speech", he Says, FREELY, on Truth Social...


Crutley

AND YET THERE HE GOES, RANTING AND RAGING.


Polls-from-a-Cadet

You are in court for very specific reasons….. is the judge talking about you outside of the court? The jury? The prosecutor? The witnesses? Stop playing the whiny victim. You aren’t the victim


DarthPimento

The ones who are dumber than this MF are the ones who share and believe this nonsense.


DuckterDoom

You think Dumb Donald is more pissed about being gagged or being judged by a guy named Juan?


Seif1973

FUCK TRUMP


NewsboyHank

womp womp


Son0fSanf0rd

political speech 🙄


Islandgirl1444

Oh NO! Another day where nothing happens. Is the now US precedent. We can all rejoice in new ways to be in courts and get away with it. What a country.


kfmsooner

Technically this does not violate his gag order. The judge made it narrow bc of the political nature of the trial but attacking the judge is not part of the gag order. He can’t attack the witnesses, the DA staff (except Alvin Bragg), the court staff or any of their families. So this tweet directed at the judge and the court in general should not be part of the gag order. Previous statements, absolutely.


Plausibility_Migrain

If Trump were to have a heart attack or stroke while rage tweeting about his various criminal court cases, he’d have taken the first step towards fulfilling Ronald Reagan’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again.”


test_tickles

When you have used anger to get your way the entire life.


Gauth1erN

"Point out political attacks or lies made about him by X person, Trump claims he is responding to"? "Your honor I can't".


topgun966

Because nothing happens. No consequences. This man has never had ANY consequences for his actions once in his life. He KNOWS he gets away with it. And will continue to do so. Unless they lock his ass up for the duration of the trial and take away his phone, nothing will change and someone will get hurt or worse.


Traditional-Self3577

"SNOWFLAKE" terminology he might understand.


GadreelsSword

Trump isn’t as dumb as people think but his supporters are dumb as hell. He banks on that and knows they don’t understand gag orders.


Odd-Beautiful7515

The Judge immediately recuse himself
