A New York judge threatened to imprison Donald Trump for “blatantly” violating a gag order on Friday after the former president failed to remove a social media post mocking the judge’s clerk.

As proceedings in the civil court began on Friday, the New York judge Arthur Engoron asked Trump’s lawyers why “this blatant violation of the gag order would not result in serious sanctions, including financial sanctions and/or possibly imprisoning him”.

It hasnt been a good week for trump. Being threatened with jail may be the worst thing law abiding people might think.But it is unlikely to be in the top 20 for the one term president.

His allies are flaking away and he cant get his man nominated in congress. He has had better weeks.

This judge is just full of himself and hates Trump.

This judge is just full of himself and hates Trump.

He ordered trump to do something and trump ignored it. That never works with any judge.

Trump is running for President and should be immune from election interference.

The gag order is unconstitutional

We the people have a right to hear what trump has to say

This judge is just full of himself and hates Trump.

Trump's not above the law; in fact, he's often in violation of it.

Go tell the Judge dopey.

It was his choice
Most potential candidates facing a felony indictment have the good sense not to run for office until things are cleared up

Trump chose to run with four indictments and 91 charges

The fact that his legal problems are interfering with his candidacy is his own doing

Try to lock him up over your unconstitutional tantrum end of the monther moron

 

[Lord Long Rod]

Tommy is only posting about this because it has the word "gag" in the title.

ELECTION INTERFERENCE

 

[Dekster]

To the extent that you want to have a gag order, they should lock him up. Whether or not there should be one is a different matter entirely.

We don’t lock up for the free speech of opinion and experience. We are headed that way though due to liberals who feel that if their feelings are affronted, that speech must be punished or obliterated.
This woman being affronted does Not get to set free speech aside due to being a judge and having this personal whim

 

[TheParser]

Go ahead and jail him.

It will be worth a billion dollars in publicity.

And it should give him that needed boost to win the nomination and the presidential election.

I don't generally support gag orders except to the extent that they are very narrowly tailored for specific things like national security, protecting the identity of minors, etc. However, if you are going to have one, you might as well enforce it to its max or else you will deal with a generation of "Well they let Trump do it...." defenses.
