First, I want to thank the OP.
It was a good article that he linked the forum to.
I thought it was fair, informative, and added context to the news of the judge's ruling.
Of course, it was reporting by the Associated Press, and they consistently do a good job on their journalism. To be sure, there will be folks who don't like such reports because it may cast shade on some fav-du-jour they currently admire. I get that.
Nonetheless, this forum could do a lot worse (too often does a lot worse) than requiring links to the AP.
IMHO

And that leads my avatar to some recreational commentary on several subjects, and several posts.
First, this ...from the AP article itself:
“The problem with appearing — at least as his lawyers will see it — is that Trump can’t be controlled and he’s likely to say things that will cause more trouble for him and his family.”
Contributors to this venue will recognize that concept. It has been surfaced in any number of threads in the past. DTrump, seemingly, has a proclivity to shoot his mouth off....to his detriment. And worse, he then re-loads....to get the other foot.

"180,000" ???
Paint me skeptical.
I believe the poster Rambunctious is in error. Either due to failure of due diligence, or he made up the number as he believes it advances the interests of his polemic.
So, let's do this: Let's ask the good poster to show us credible, authoritative sourcing for the "180,000" number.
If the good poster Rambunctious cannot, will not, does not....well, the clear conclusions must be that he is either careless, or incompetent, or mendacious.
Batter up, poster Rambunctious.
It's Show or Go time.
-------------------------------------------------------
Well, actually, poster Polishprince.....in this particualr situation, it ain't a 'trial-in-the-media'. Rather, this is a legal subpoena, and a judge's ruling, in our courts of law. Generally, that has significant precedent over any 'trial-by-the-media'.
Trust me.

Oh boy!
Yet another Nazi war crime comparison.
A wrong one on the facts.
But a right one for showcasing some poster's ignorance of history, and his willingness to trivialize and minimize the tragedy of the Holocaust and Nazi tyranny.
Look, I'm gonna be uncharacteristically blunt with the good poster 'whitehall': Partner, your ignorance makes your avatar look silly, juvenile, irresponsible, and scatter-brained. Uneducated or under-educated.
In short, your avatar does not know what it is he is talking about. Nor does he comprehend the inappropriateness and the insensitivity of equating the supremely tragic deaths of nearly 20 million people in World War II, to the sad misteps of well meaning American leaders in their attempts to address a novel and advancing pandemic.
The whitehall avatar made a silly and ignorant statement in his attempt to advance his partisan polemic.
This forum deserves a better contribution. And expects one.
