Or... his lawyers.

Some have suggested that the reason he keeps falling asleep in trial is because he is being sedated to prevent him from doing his antics...

As for myself, I find it simpler to believe that:

1) He's incredibly bored
2) He tunes out when he starts hearing unpleasant things about himself
3) Since he's not allowed to use his phone, or recieves printouts of flattering messages, he's not getting the constant dopamine hits he usually recieves

...his complete disrespect and disregard for the legal system.

He did that a lot when he was in the WH when advisers got the better of him. That says he does not want to hear the truth, and that the truth is what HE says it is. It shows just how insecure he is about situations and history.

That's gotta be a shitty posting for those agents.

Anymore than prison guards are. They all get to leave after their shift ends.

Snooze Criminal wouldn't get to leave.

Big bloody difference.

Are there any cites?

I think that's simply blindingly obvious, but here's one recent reference for you:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218877591

I meant the part you put it quotes:

because "Well, he WANTS to be jailed, so that's why we won't do it!"

Who said that? Is there a cite for that quote?

It's something I remember hearing a number of times, but my memory of the sources fails me.

I suppose it might not be true, but it's the kind of false bravado I expect from Trump, so I never thought to doubt it.

I get it, I do. I’m as angry as anyone but I won’t let it override justice. The quote:

“Well, he WANTS to be jailed, so that's why we won't do it!"

This does not come across as from tfg but rather someone in the justice system.

One thing to keep in mind is that a violation in one case cannot be applied in another. He has multiple violations that will be addressed Tuesday. I expect the result will be a warning and some 1k ( the max allowed) fines. People will howl at what he’s being allowed to get away with… Yup. It’s with purpose.

He will violate the order again… No doubt. He has no self control. I expect he will a second time be given fines… Step by step…

It will not be until the third time he violates the order that he will be jailed.

This is what kills him. His magat cultists will stay with him no matter what… Moderate pukes? Not so much… They won’t vote for Biden but neither for tfg. Independents will flee tfg like the plague and vote Dem up and down the ballot.

It’s a tough slog but the right way to do it.

And make no mistake… His false bravado about being jailed is only that… False. He will wet himself when faced with it.

That was merely a characterization of the apparent general attitude of many in the legal system, as described in that other post I linked to. These are quotation marks were used to indicate "as if to say", not literal transcription.

Most of us had no problem with what you said.

and a dire warning: NEXT time you will be sent to lockup.

I don't think this case will last long enough to accommodate an escalating fine schedule. Otherwise, he can affect the jury. So, depending what he does next, he could find himself in jail.

(Don't we all [eventually for a longer time] pretty much except MAGAT's)

With his Post-pResidency continuous barrage of lies, malicious, and malevolent comments, and screeds (whether actually written by him, or most likely what he would say if he was more articulate); not to mention the damage he caused as pResident!...

Some Consequences have to start somewhere!!!!!

Gah!!!!!

(get my aggravation out, and return to a more positive state of mind 👍 )

...to Trump. He can complain on social media about how "unfair" it is, and get high multiples of the fine amount in donations. That's on top of the fact that, no matter how broke Trump really is, we know he can easily come up with $7000 of his own money too.

It has to be about equal justice under the law.

'I'll hold my breath until I die, they YOU'LL be sorry!' It is impotent rage combined with ignorance.

My mom was great with kids, she really enjoyed them, but she was a wall when she needed to be. She knew boundaries kept kids safe, and as kids grow, you move boundaries to allow more freedom so kids can grow.

Once saw a kid try the 'hold my breath until I die' threat with my mom. She shrugged, and gave a lesson about physiology: 'Nope, that won't work. You might manage to hold your breath a long time, but eventually, you would faint and start breathing.' Then, she stepped away and engaged in some fun activity. People puppies ALWAYS want to do the stuff others are having fun with.

.... I must have been 9 or 10 when I threatened to leave home for good and never come back. I had my Tom Sawyer stick with a wrapped handkerchief on the end.

She told him, 'GO AHEAD.'

So he held his breath, and the little scamp hung in there until he passed out. Just like she, the aspiring doctor, knew he would. He was the one who woke up covered in mud from falling in a patch of it when he passed out. Holding his breath that way gave him a headache for a few minutes, but that was enough for him never to make that threat again.

Poor SS guys, having to smell those nasty Trump farts all the time. They must dream of the day Trump and his stink get locked away in solitary confinement.

“ What flavour pizza”

Hilarious

I do miss pizza delivery.

you are boring me."

I'd bet there's a cell available.

He thinks he's being clever using reverse psychology to make us think we'll be better off NOT sending him to prison and that will be a worse outcome for him. Nyuk, nyuk.

He wants to fuck around? Make him find out he is not above the law.

...leads to disrespect for the court and legal system and undermines the authority of the court in any other offender's mind.

Social norms only work to protect society when they are held fast by that society.
