Even though Trump will probably be fined again on the contempt charge hearing tomorrow, I do expect the judge to scold him harshly and Trump will have to listen to every word of it. He deserves to be locked up, but if hes fuming about being told off, its something.

It's something, yes, but it isn't a deterrent that's going to prevent him from violating the gag order again. Trump has to be reined in if we're going to get a fair judgement from the jury, and a small fine isn't going to cut it.
Anyone else is in jail cant stand this mofo is basically above the law
Judge ain't gonna do shit, Trump pissed on his gag order about 7 times already, all these judges are afraid to cross that line of jailing a former president
A worthless existence
I do think eventually a judge will put Trump in jail. Just remember January 1, 2023 everyone said Trump would never be indicated for anything. By September 1, 2023 Trump was looking at 90+ charges in four different cases.

Yes it would be a logistical nightmare but a judge could have the attitude of "I'm going to lock him up. It is your problem to figure out how to handle it." Of course the secret service could already have a plan in place should Trump get locked up that would protect him while he is in custody.

Someone here should run for president and their slogan should be Nah, I'd win.

Gonna be tied up for a year+ in appellate courts though, won't it?

Be stalled long enough for the six-month mark to pass in truth, social, so Trump can dump his stock for pennies on the dollar. He might be able to get half a billion off of it in equity.

Gosh, can you imagine trump locked in a room by himself for 23 hours a day, ranting to himself basically the same stuff he would otherwise be posting on social media in all caps.

It's cruel and inhumane, but fuck do I want it.

I'm black, and my folks didn't even have this much devotion and loyalty to Obama, and they loved him.

It's "funny" in that the people who accused black people of having this degree of insane fervor for Obama are the ones who actually feel it for Trump. It really is always projection with them.

I'm happy it's not. I too would love to see him sulking, but I don't want him turning this into anymore of a free campaign ad than the media's already allowing him to do.

I honestly don't think it would help him anymore than him coming outside and lying would do. In fact it would likely drive fence sitters away because he'd lie about what happened inside, yet they'd have the footage themselves to verify if it's true or not. His base is already fanatically whipped up and tapped out financially. I really don't understand the thinking that he would benefit more from it being televised than the general electorate who may make or break their vote depending on what happens to him during these trials.

Accurate media reporting is fine and all, however there's no replacement for what we see and hear for ourselves. Think about if Jan 6th wasn't televised live and all we had was reporters talking about. Not nearly the same impact.

They and Trump have admitted guilt multiple times the problem is they're arguing that he's allowed to do it and our dumb system is way to interested in entertaining such lunacy

I'd be so happy if he just locked him up until the trial resumes Thursday. Make him miss his day off to campaign. That might deter additional violations.

He also admitted to the crime and attacked Cohen on camera to reporters, which is specifically against the gag order. Guess we'll see tomorrow how stalwart for Judge Merchan actually is.

Does Trump's gag order cover witnesses like Cohen? If so and if Trump responds to Cohen's tweet, could Cohen get in trouble for goading Trump?

The redacted doc about Nauta doesn't make clear who told him that Trump / FPOTUS would pardon him "in 2024". Does that open the door to embarrass one of the defense lawyers in court for not understanding how presidential terms work since, if Trump wins in the fall, he wouldn't take office until 2025?

Yes it also covers witnesses and Cohen is like the witness for the prosecution.

Would being called a fraud or a sexual predator upset him more, I wonder.
Neither. Being exposed as not as rich as he claims would be way more devastating to him, because for him its all about appearances and ego.

I'm sure the impending $1,000 fine will teach him not to do it again.

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4604091-stephen-a-smith-slams-trump-hush-money-trial-i-want-him-to-lose-the-right-way/

Stephen A. Smith criticized the hush money trial against former President Trump in Thursday comments, saying he wants to see him lose the right way.

As primarily Democratic voter, the sports commentator said he is utterly disgusted with Trumps criminal trial, which kicked off Monday with jury selection. Smith said he sees it as Democrats attempting to politicize the courts as theyre unable to stop the former presidents momentum in the polls.

As if I needed another reason to hate that pompous blowhard.
Think Stewart nailed how shit the media is in terms of the whole "hyping up everything and getting people's hopes up." Also, Jessica Williams is always great!

Gag order hearing coming up. I'll happily allow Judge Merchan to beat my expectations, but I'm not gonna expect anything more than the $1000 fine.

Goddamn, Jessica looks damn good. Also agreed with everything John said here. The media bubble is precisely how we got here in the first place. Yes, this is the most consequential event to happen to a former president since the last one that got assassinated, but for fuck's sakes, it's not that exciting.

I think it will be quite a bit more, but jail time is not going to be on the table for the first violation.

He's going to really fucking hammer Donnie on this, I can just feel it. It's been so ridiculous the shit he's been saying that I just can't see any way he won't. I'm expecting upwards of a $1500 fine.

I cant find the tweet again, but someone said $1000 was the maximum fine allowed in such cases. I dont have time to look for it. But can anyone confirm if this is correct?

Yeah, that's what I read. It's either $1000 or jail time. Not sure if it's $1000 per violation or $1000 max. The prosecution is saying Trump violated the gag order 10 times, I believe.

Because, you know, fines are very bad for rich people.

It's also kinda strange that Trump is violating the gag order in a criminal trial a lot more than he was in the civil fraud trial. Maybe because the judge hasn't yelled at him yet?

Trump literally spends so much time talking bullshit on Truth Social that 10 violations of the gag order collectively equate to only a first offense.

He does this shit so rapid-fire that the courts can't even keep up.
I have nothing else to say

Basically, Merchan is close to operating on the presumption that the Trump team is acting in bad faith, which will translate into more scrutiny on their objections, direct examination, cross examination, etc.

It's anxiety, not excitement. We're following this case because it's important, and our anxiety is either going to turn into jubilation or despondency depending on how this goes.

Feels like this is because ruling on Trump is a logistical nightmare and they wanna throw him in jail but cant do that easily.

So I expect a tiny fine still.

I disagree. I think something will happen to him besides a fine on this. This is a criminal case, not civil.
Narutaki was right. This is all Decade's fault.
