Got to realize what Trump is doing [View all]

He is literally daring the judge to ban him from social media or jail him somehow.

This is a strategy to him. He will use anything that happens as a fundraising gold mine (in the sense that it's something he can just keep coming back to over and over again) and likely get all his opponents to side with him, those making them toothless and inept.

He will lose this case but he doesn't care. In his mind, he just needs to win with Republicans and completely eliminate his opponents as a factor.

It's never been about "winning" for him. It's about power and feeding his narcissism. He will do whatever it takes to achieve those goals.
