Donald Trump has launched a fresh tirade on both the judge and his chief court clerk in his New York civil fraud trial just hours after a gag order banning him from criticising court personnel was paused.
Judge Arthur Engoron had issued the gag order in the case after the former president made a series of false and disparaging remarks about his chief clerk of court Allison Greenfield both to reporters outside the courtroom and on his Truth Social account.
Mr Trump had already violated the gag order twice and incurred $15,000 in fines as a result.
Is it time for the $100,000 fine followed by the $1 million fine
They should inflate the fine to the same percentage that the trump family inflated the value of his assets.
Wouldn’t at all surprise me if the judge imposes a huge punitive fine at the end of all this and explains to Trump that he had nobody to blame but himself. If he’d been respectful to the court then punitive fine would have been $0, but because of his inability to keep his trap shut the punitive fine is $$$$$.
That’s like fining me 20 cents.
Not if you keep raising it until it hurts. Establishing a pattern of fines that raises itself over repeated violations shows it’s not being raised for no reason. He keeps violating it. It keeps going up but until it actually hurts him after a million you make it 10 million after 10 million, you make it 100 million and if trump knows the next time is going to be more than he can afford because he doesn’t actually have that money. Then he might shut his fucking mouth.
But we all know that isn’t going to happen.
