    this should be a clear violation of the gag order. but it wont be. theyll be some hand waving and he wont be held to account. and no, a monetary fine is not justice.

      The gag order was in reference to court staff only, wasn’t it? Didn’t the judge explicitly leave himself off it? I forget which judge this is, there are so many

        Trump isn’t a actually stupid. He’s just an asshole and normal people don’t get it.

        But if the judge left himself off, and if Trump can make him adjust the order to add himself, or otherwise indicate that he’s upset that he’s being targeted himself, Trump can and will then argue that the judge is making personal decisions and ask try to make drama about recusing. Which won’t go anywhere, but will ramp his followers up further.

        He knows exactly what he’s doing.

          No he is just him. There’s no act. There’s no strategy. There’s no subterfuge. What you see is what you get and Trump is a very stupid person.

            Lots of people are saying he’s the dumbest, maybe the dumbest that’s ever lived. Just the other day he was punching a baby, and the baby miraculously spoke its first words, calling him dumb. If Nobel had a prize for being dumb, he’d win every year. No one else can compare to his ultimate dumbness.

        honestly im surprised he didnt just outright threaten someone. it kinda feels like this is a desperate attempt at a mistrial.

        how many judges would allow ‘well, you only broke the intent of my rules not the letter, so ill let it slide this 3rd time’. its prolly zero… unless of course you know the intent of the defendant is to generate a mistrial or other incident allowing appeal.

        Judge said they had thick enough skin to deal with whatever he said.

        I doubt the judge is OK with Trump openly calling for people to do harm to them.

          That was very stupid of the judge. Insults and mockery normally are just that. But when someone has a platform as large as Trump full of violent traitors, it turns into death threats pretty quick.

          Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?

    I don’t know anything about how truthsocial works.

    Is “retruthed” the same thing as “retweeting” (or whatever that’s called now on xitter), or is it closer to “liking” something?

    Regardless, trump now thinks he’s found a loophole in the gag oder by letting other people post it and then boosting it somehow?

    The article was super confusing to me.

    Hahaha, wow that’s great news. It was always apparent he didn’t understand what was happening around him, but he is really firing both barrels into his own feet here.

      I believe it when he actually faces consequences for his ballant regard for every aspect of the justice system.

        He’s facing fines, his family is in court, he’s already been found liable for rape, everyone was saying the same thing before he even went to court. That he would never actually go to court that he would never be found liable for rape, and now he has.

        This one incident isn’t so important except as a cumulative addition to his felonies. But everything added up is important and he is facing actual consequences.

        He’s a rapist. Anybody who votes for Trump or supports Trump is voting for and supporting a rapist. That will not change everyone’s minds, but it’s going to affect how some people vote.

          It’s still way to little way to late. The amount of shit that fucker still is allowed to pull would have landed any other normal person in prison months ago. When the justice system does show this unequal application of it’s justice, it does hurt it’s own perception among the normal people significantly.

            It isn’t fair or proportional yet, but it proves that even though everybody was saying that he’ll never go to court or get in trouble for anything, Trump was found to be a rapist, he is ordered to pay millions of dollars in compensation, his motions to dismiss cases are now being struck down instead of allowed. He’s facing 36 felony counts.

            Cynicism and marginalization about the sentencing he’s already faced and his current legal battles only helps Trump. He wants you to have that exact attitude, because if enough people think that he can’t be prosecuted, then you will fulfill your own prophecy.

            The justice system in this country is very slow, and it hasn’t been “fair” since it’s inception, and even so the justice system is working.

            He’s liable for rape, his business licenses were suspended in New York, his family is going to court, it’s being litigated in Colorado whether he can even be on the ballot.

            It isn’t fair or proportional, but people are actively fighting against Trump and getting results, rather than complaining about how maybe further action won’t work.

        It’s amazing how many times I’ve seen historians say that this is exactly how historic examples of fascism come about. First people laugh and think 'that would never happen. It’s too absurd. Then as day turns steadily into night you look around and realize it’s there and it’s too late.

        I have zero respect for anyone who continues to support the Republican Party, let alone Donald Trump. I can’t help but see the same gullible, immoral, selfish fools that supported the likes of Hitler in the early 30s.

    “I wasn’t calling for violence when one of my supporters did violence to these people. I said citizen arrest. They misinterpreted when they thought I wanted violence. The knock-on effect of chilling any future prosecutions also isn’t what I wanted.”
