In reply to the discussion: Trump Post Targets Judge's Daughter [View all]Orrex
(63,282 posts)94. Forgive a little self-evident hyperbole, because the point is served
Why was the injunction not issued in advance, when it's well known that Trump engages in exactly that kind of threat/provocation behavior? It wouldn't even need to be specific to him; a blanket "I remind both parties that they are to refrain from making threatening or inflammatory comments about agents of the courts or their families," etc.
Was it to draw Trump out? To what end? What will happen when he violates the order?
I guess we'll see.

Trump and his followers delight in rubbing our noses in it, daring us to do something about it.

I'm afraid he won't get sanctioned or have a gag order placed on him until one of his followers takes him literally

Maybe Trump is egging the judge on to do something he can appeal to delay the trial

Easy solution. Arrest Trump. NO ONE who is the defendant in a criminal case EVER is allowed to intimidate

I guess we are powerless to arrest a domestic terrorist if he was TFG. Immune. We are a hollow nation of law.
