With every indictment, every day in court Donald Trump's polls and donations have gone up. I figure if Mechan arrests him for violating, an unconstitutional, gag order Trump would be a Rikers for about an hour before he is released, but Trump would win 2024 by 20 points. The vid of Trump's perp walk would be in every Trump campaign ad. Do it!
RedState, May 6, 2024. President Donald Trump was smacked down by Judge Juan Merchan Monday morning for violating the court's gag order, and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and even hinted at possible jail time. Judge Merchan warned Trump that any further violations of the gag order would result in Trump being ordered into custody.
Monday's fine and warning marked the second time since the trial began that Trump has been fined for violating the court's gag order, which prohibits Trump from making disparaging comments and or incendiary remarks about any juror, witness, or anyone who is closely connected to the case. Trump was fined $9,000 last week for nine individual violations of the order. This most recent violation stems from an April 22nd interview in which Trump criticized the speed or pace of how the jurors were picked and made claims that the jury was comprised mainly of Democrats.
“It appears that the $1,000 fines are not serving as a deterrent. Therefore going forward, this court will have to consider a jail sanction,” Judge Juan Merchan said. Trump’s statements, the judge continued, “threaten to interfere with the fair administration of justice and constitute a direct attack on the rule of law. I cannot allow that to continue.”
However, Judge Merchan has reservations about sending Trump to jail for violating the gag order. Saying that it was "the last thing he wanted to do."
“You are the former president of the United States and possibly the next president as well. There are many reasons why incarceration is truly a last resort for me. To take that step would be disruptive to these proceedings,” Merchan said.
