Another episode in angertainment just concluded. Court broke for the afternoon and Donald Trump did his usual faux outrage commentary outside the courthouse. He is shocked, we tell you, shocked, that the trial is going to go on another two or three weeks, even though that’s right on target with the original estimate. He’s miffed that he has to show up at the “icebox” courtroom and make every effort to keep awake for six or seven hours a day. And he’s super miffed that the judge has made it clear that the next gag order violation will put him behind bars.
I wonder if it even crosses Trump’s mind what a wimp he is showing himself to be, to working people. Working people show up at a location and yes, Donald, they sit there (I’m talking about desk jobs, obviously) for seven, eight hours a day, with a lunch break. And they not only SIT there, why, would you believe that they’re expected to do something productive? Yes, amazingly, they’re supposed to 1. check in clients/passengers/boxes, etc.; 2. type letters, process orders, and the like; 3. produce paperwork, whether it requires original thought or the transcription and assembly of somebody else’s thought. In other words, they have to create a product or provide a service — and this doofus can’t even sit!!
Why anybody who has ever worked a day in their lives would vote for this clown is beyond me. And one thing I’m willing to bet: if the MAGAs who love him so much could actually be in that courtroom with him and smell the hair spray (we’ll just leave it at that) and watch him doze off, I wonder how big and bad larger than life he would appear to be then? Here’s the scene outside the courthouse a short while ago.
Trump: “This judge is giving me a gag order and said you’ll go to jail if you violate it. And frankly, you know what, our constitution is much more important than jail. It’s not even close. I’ll do that sacrifice any day.”pic.twitter.com/gm0MC3f0P0

We’re certainly glad to hear that, Donald. Justice Merchan has made it clear as glass that he has reached his limit and that you need to straighten up and fly right. The next gag order violation is the one that will land you in jail, what about that?
And as the Constitution, we seem to recall that Trump was simply fine with suspending that not so long ago? No?
“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” he wrote. “Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”
Incoming House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday described Trump’s statement as strange and extreme and said Republicans will have to make a choice whether to continue embracing Trump’s anti-democratic views.
“Republicans are going to have to work out their issues with the former president and decide whether they’re going to break from him and return to some semblance of reasonableness or continue to lean in to the extremism, not just of Trump, but Trumpism,” Jeffries said.
These comments were made in 2022, shortly after Trump announced he would be running for a third term. The man has had the longest presidential campaign in history.
He’s talking the big talk about going to jail but let’s see him walk the walk. Supposedly the idea in Trump world is that it would help Trump to go to jail because the country would be so enraged that his numbers would shoot right up. Maybe, just maybe, the American public would see the situation for what it is, namely that judge kept violating the gag order the judge imposed and the judge kept warning him that jail was imminent.
Maybe, just maybe, America will see a judge who puts the rule of law above a criminal defendant, even if that defendant is running for president. And here’s the bottom line: as weak and ridiculous as Trump looks falling asleep in court, can you see him dragging himself out of a jail cell a day or a week later, with no hairdresser, no makeup artist, nobody to hold his hand? I suppose that the Secret Service will be there to hold his hand and what a scene for a movie that is, “Trump’s Night In Jail.” Hell, I’ll write the screenplay myself. Just get the Secret Service to send audio of Trumpty throwing his jail food across the room and screaming, “I wanna Big Mac! Whuddya mean there’s no Diet Coke?”
It could happen. We laugh now but this very well could be in our future. And Trump knows it. And that’s why he’s pissed.
What was that phrase him and his followers were so fond of?
Oh yeah.
‘Lock him up.’
trump needs to put on a f*cking sweater if it is so cold in that courtroom. With all his fat and his suit coat I think he’s about as cold as a hot oven.
Judge Merchan, trump is ok with jail time if he violates his gag order (s) so lock him up. I want to see this because I KNOW the whiny little bitch would be crying before he left the courtroom. I guess if real men wear diapers then if follows that real men are whiny little bitches who cry their asses off when sent to jail for breaking the law.
The scary part is that the post-court “presser” is ALL that FUX not-news ever shows.
