In reply to the discussion: Jack Smith seeks protective order citing Trump's threat on Truth Social [View all]wnylib
(26,202 posts)36. No phone, no internet access, no surrogates permitted to
post messages for him. Complete isolation from outside contacts.
He is deliberately challenging the judge and the courts. He knows that if they put him in jail, it will enhance his narrative that he is a political victim. He would say that imprisoning him denied him his right to campaign travel.
So he will continue to threaten and intimidate people.
Maybe the consequences should be monetary. Make him put up bail money. If he does not have cash for it, make him use one of his properties. Then if he violates the conditions of his bail by continuing to threaten people, he forfeits the cash or property.

Unless there are consequences for Trump, future presidents can run wild like Trump.
