(58,785 posts)have to worry about also inciting violence. The danger at this point isn't civil war but increased scattered violence leading to deaths of real people with the intent of acceleration toward chaos.
Glad it's not my decision and that I'm not among those getting best estimates of casualties and projections of other possible sequelae of the options available.
I'd feel a lot better if the leading Republican candidate for president were made incommunicado, in or out of custody, but that's not going to happen.

Threatening witnesses, prosecutors, jurors, journalists... enough !!

(587 posts)He's already said, just more indictment and I'll win in a landslide. The more Republicans think he's a victim and not a criminal, the better it is for Trump.

(81,833 posts)But I don't think he is going to like jail time.

And, look at what FAFO has done to the Traitor.

(14,275 posts)should confine him to his golden palace in Fla with no internet, no phone calls that are not monitored, no visitors that are not screened and all of the Big Macs he can eat. Oh, and no golf.

(1,067 posts)We treat Trump like a normal defendant and that is our mistake. Trump feels the process is beneath him and that he is innocent. Nobody tells him what to do or say. He is a nightmare for his attorneys and he will actually freak out if he is locked up. Glen Kurshner said that once a defendant is locked up pre trial they almost never get released prior to trial because the terms of why they were jailed have not changed.
You can't post from prison and you can't make videos or appearances. Trump doesn't believe the rules apply to him. FAFO.

(81,833 posts)I do think he is taunting the judge and trying to evoke some sort of mistake on her part.
And daring her to do anything.
But yes I think he is terrified right now, and yes he is narcissistic and a sociopath.
He is special, entitled and the rules do not apply to him.
Right now he is dangerous and the judge needs to get him under control for the safety
of others.

(31,866 posts)get him in any trouble. There will be (and have been) plenty of dumb-ass things he tweets and says the should, and probably will.
Just my take. I know millions of people are just itching for him to get thrown in the clink and I am one of them. I just don't see it in this particular tweet, that all.

(1,067 posts)However it can be taken as witness tampering. Once the process of discovery is done and the witness list is presented to Trumps counsel Trump can no longer speak about or try to contact those individuals. It it is clear from the charging documents that Mike Pence will be one of the star witnesses.

(31,866 posts)He has like, NO discernable executive function at all.
Irish_Dem
(81,833 posts)He uses his words to trigger violence against his enemies.
It is a clear pattern. He could get Mike Pence hung for real this time.
Trump is very dangerous right now, more than usual.
This is why he was ordered not to talk to witnesses.
The judge has no choice but to get trump under control.

(15,909 posts)I don't think merely calling a witness who's testifying against you a liar and a bad person would count for what's out-of-bounds for Trump at the moment, unless the conditions of his release are a lot stricter than I'd guess.

(81,833 posts)This time they might do it.

The other witnesses must wonder about their safety if they testify.
