No, people like Trump are always above the law and don't have to follow the rules. | |

Yes, eventually the judge will get tired of having his credibility challenged and send him to jail. | |

No, because of his secret service protection, he'll just be ordered to stay in one place and not leave. | |

(2,047 posts)Normally, a judge would not worry much about that.
But, this is obviously a case of national political importance. Handing Trump anything that looks like ammunition for his slingshot is a bad idea.
But I do believe the judge may start doubling the cost of each fine. In the end, with Trumps flouting of the gag order that could become a large enough sum to give even an orange--atan pause.

(11,444 posts)It's his decision whether or not to violate the order again.
I don't think he can stop himself, so I voted yes.

(5,678 posts)Maybe they're afraid, or they realize they might be subject to arrest. Or, the reason I think might be the best choice, there's not that much excitement, or enthusiasm around his running again. Other than his core base of maga cultists, there's no longer that much interest in supporting him. They're not that enthusiastic any more.

(157 posts)Trump is already in jail 4 days per week, having to attend court. The judge is waiting for a Mon night violation so he can impose sentence from Tues night thru Thurs morning giving him a couple of overnight stays.
