  1. >Donald Trump on Saturday took aim at two likely witnesses in his upcoming New York hush money trial, testing the boundaries of a gag order that prohibits such public statements.

  2. Jesus Christ this is getting way old way fast. Like exponentially times please stop.

  3. Throw him down a massive hole and then we don’t have to hear about him anymore.

  4. My sense is that he’s hoping to cross the line just enough to get punished buy the judge, but not far enough to make his supporters believe he deserves it: and use it as a way of flipping around his poll numbers due “unfair treatment”.

    Puts the judge in a very difficult position.

  5. They are not going to do anything about him until someone gets hurt..and it’s sad that he is literally putting people in danger and nobody is making him stop 🛑..people DIED on Jan 6th because of his lies and he has not been sued by the families of those people..yet

  6. If lying was a crime, trump would owe more time than anyone.

  7. Fine him. Don’t give him a chance to appeal and delay.

  8. They need to take him into custody as soon as he walks into the courthouse.

  9. Trump could personally murder all witnesses in all of his trials in public and the only retaliation he’d get is the courts telling him not to do it so publicly next time

  10. With Donnie von Shitsinpant loyalty is a one way street! Rather than a real set of trials it’s more like a made for TV enduring spectacle that every channel follows so there’s no avoiding the bullshit. Is he going to be gagged? Or not? Tune in tomorrow. Are we going to take property that’s fraudulently presented? Or not? Oh no $450M fine, oh too much, $175M but he’s too poor to front that.

  11. Trump has been creating the new normal for quite some time. The question is not why, but why is this what the GOP wants?

    Vote blue, no matter who.

  12. “I might have to pay a fine with other people’s money – but that is a risk I am willing to take”

  13. He’s like a child in pretty much every way. He’s going to test the limits until someone punishes him. He will keep doing this until someone makes him stop.

  14. Maybe he should be in custody for the rest of the trial.

  15. Would love it if Juan had the sheriffs take him to the holding cell to tour the place and show them just how comfortable they’ll make him for an evening or two.

  16. The judge told Trump and his lawyers. The sanction if he violates the gag order will be that his attorneys will not get the same information on the jury that the DA will have. It’s very stupid of Trump to hobble his attorneys. I love it.

  17. Why can’t they put him under house arrest and take away his phone etc. That may be the only way to remove his ability to break gag orders while not making him a martyr to his mob.

  18. Why wouldn’t he? Every judge has been proven to be fucking feckless when it comes to actually putting him behind bars for breaking the gag orders

  19. > Has disgraced attorney and felon Michael Cohen been prosecuted for LYING?

    This guy’s brain must look like swiss cheese if he expects people not to remember that Cohen was **HIS OWN** lawyer for 20 odd years?

  20. I like how he posts about Cohen having been prosecuted for “LYING” but doesn’t mention the thing he was caught lying about was the same lie Trump campaigned on in 2016 – That he had no real estate deals in place with Russia when in fact plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow were in place right up until the election. Plans that included giving Putin a free $50,000,000 penthouse.

  21. He’d probably rather be locked up than have to sit through the trial.

  22. The judge needs to swiftly escalate this from gag order to a ball gag order.

  23. Shitler wants to be jailed. He says that it to endear the African Americans to him…I think it is more to model himself after the funny mustache man. He has modeled other behaviors and speech patterns after him, this is just another example. That is why rallies are so important to him. They are reminiscent of the large speeches that H would give to the Germans. H was jailed for treason and served 9 months….

  24. And yet, unlike any other defendant in the history of the country, he won’t be taken to task for witness tampering.

  25. Please please put this psycho in jail without a phone or bail

  26. Who gives af. Until its enforced I just assume it’s another bs nothing.

  27. Great. They can put him in jail and he can appear virtually with a muted microphone – lol

  28. wow i can’t believe he didn’t follow the gag order

  29. WILL SOMEONE ARREST HIS ASS ALREADY? And the rest of him, too, while you’re at it. But seriously, this has gone on long enough. Stop letting him get away with everything. If he has a gag order and he violates it FUCKING PUNISH HIM.

    No, no this “we have to be transparent all the way or else he’ll be able to weasel out of it” nonsense is done. He has weaseled out of everything *because* you refuse to put your big boy pants on.

    It’s gone on long enough. Time to shove him in prison.

  30. He claimed that Michael Cohen, his former lawyer who literally went to prison for his role in this illegal activity, has escaped justice.
