Donald Trump has been in a New York court today to defend himself against charges of longtime financial fraud, but during a recess in the proceedings, he targeted the judge hearing his case with a livid, deluded eight-minute rant.
… He ruled we lost a big part of the case because he’s a Democrat club politician. He’s a Democrat operative. And he’s a disgrace to people that call themself judges. And I hope my lawyers go in, and I hope they fight him very hard. ‘Cause this guy’s getting away with murder. And his clerk should not be allowed to be in his ear on every single question. You take a look at what’s happening with her. She hates Trump more than he does. […]
This is a judge that should be disbarred. This is a judge that should be out of office. This is a judge that some people say could be charged criminally for what he's doing. He’s interfering with an election, and it's a disgrace.
Referring to Judge Arthur Engoron, who will decide the financial penalties that Trump might owe, Trump repeatedly referred to him as a “rogue judge,” an “operative,” and a “disgrace.”
At other points in the rant, he snarled that the attorney general overseeing the case, New York’s Letitia James, is “a corrupt person, a terrible person driving people out of New York,” and said that “people” saw this “egregious trial, this horrible, horrible trial going off, while at the same time people are being murdered outside on the streets and nothing happens to those people that do the murdering.”
As usual, Trump’s speech was laced with apparent threats aimed at his judge.
And somebody has to fight because if you don't fight, our country is just gonna go down the tubes. This is election interference. This guy's a highly partisan person, and we can't let this stuff happen.
Members of Trump’s base have regularly taken this “fight” language as permission to mount harassment campaigns and death threats against Trump’s enemies of the moment, whether they be public figures or private citizens.
“I’ve been going through a witch hunt for years, so this is really now getting dirty between Jack Smith and between all of these DOJ people helping them along. This is a pure witch hunt for purposes of interfering with the elections of the United States of America,” Trump falsely claimed before storming off. "It’s totally illegal. This judge should be disbarred. He shouldn’t be allowed to be a judge.”
If I pulled this shit on a judge, my bond would be revoked immediately and the bailiff ordered to remand me to custody in a concrete and steel box to await the trial’s completion.
Fuck me, I had a judge threaten to revoke bond because I had the temerity to inquire about a public defender. Last month a judge sentenced (deferred) my ex to 10-days for fucking me on spring break visitation. And she had the fucking sense to STFU for the whole trial! Trump acts like these judges are his personal peons talking back at him.
And yes, I get it. The justice system has to be more than fair in these cases. You have to admit, it’s a wild historical precedent and we must step carefully when throwing a President of the US in jail (yes, I believe he still gets that title). And I’m OK with that! But we can’t get a solid gag order on this animal?!
(Not sure he’s out of bail for this one. FFS, I literally can’t keep up with the charges, courts, etc.)

Congratulations on the sex

Ugh. Not with a 10-foot frog. Not on a dare. Not even for green eggs and ham.

Would you could you down her throat?
It’s disturbing that every single line could be talking about having sex instead of eating green eggs and ham. With a mouse? With a fox? With a goat?
I wish a judge would just throw the book at him for something minor. Sure it might create some controversy and he will weasel out but the court has every right too and if the only thing stopping them is the presidency… fuck it.
But we can’t get a solid gag order on this animal?!
How? Trump doesn’t listen to reason and he has been getting away his whole life with stuff less rich and powerful people would have been thrown into jail a long time ago. That’s the only thing he has ever learned. And as long as he keeps getting away with it he will keep doing so.
If we want him to keep his mouth shut and stop interfering into the justice process, he would need to be locked up with no access to any internet.
He literally doesn’t have the self control to comply with a gag order and also he can fundraise off it saying his freedom of speech is being violated
the more likely reason they threatened to revoke bond is your insufferable attempts at shoving the thesaurus into every sentence.
Which word was too big for you? That was written to a 6th grade reading level and it struck you as pretentious? (sorry, big word again.)
6th grade
explain in a more global context
6th grade in the US is for kids that are generally 11-12 years old.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixth_grade
Sixth grade (also 6th Grade or Grade 6) is the sixth year of formal or compulsory education. Students in sixth grade are usually 11-12 years old. It is commonly the first or second grade of middle school or the last grade of elementary school, and the sixth school year since kindergarten.
Looks like a pretty common term in many countries to me.
not mine.
It shows.
Understandable. But a simple search gives a pretty straightforward answer here. I would understand the need for clarification if it were a complicated concept, but this is isn’t that.
so now i have to waste my time searching for further clarification because an american thinks they’re the center of the world? cool.

Why? It is clear but the story he’s talking about the US legal system.
Critical reading, and vocab issues. Damn dude you r bad at bookz

Ironyception. Can we go deeper?
I wanted to make sure he understood that line.
Okay I’ll bite, which words in his reply do you think needed a thesaurus?
Needed a what? You mean a wordy-likey-bookie-wookie, college boy??
Uh, that seemed like a pretty normal vocabulary, and wasn’t overly flowery.
Maybe you need to brush up.
Bad strategy. Even if he got off with a $2 fine, he’d call it an “injustice”. He’s gonna go off the rails no matter what, so might as well nail him to the wall.
He’s interfering with an election, and it’s a disgrace.
This statement is so dementedly ironic that I think it may have damaged the time-space continuum.
The one good thing about this trial is that America is realizing how chronically inadequate its laws are for expecting people in political office (or campaigning for) to behave within the law. Everyone is human and bound to abuse and the law should set clear boundaries to prevent that abuse.
The laws aren’t really inadequate, it’s the will to enforce them. On anyone but poor minorities anyway…
Just end the sentance with poor. It doesn’t matter if you are white, if you end up in the system and have no money you will be fucked.
It’s part of the reason republican voters are such morons, they think the system will just hurt the “right people”, when in actuality it fucks every non rich person.
From healthcare to education to prison, you will be fucked if you are poor.
Except you are far more likely to end up on the court system to begin with if you aren’t white. It’s statistics.
Dividing the working class against each other like that isn’t productive. We are all getting fucked one way or another by the 1%
Your right we should just ignore racism, it’s not real. My eyes have been opened.
Must be rough being a fancy lad born into extreme wealth originally derived from racist opportunist parentage, always getting your way, always having and taking license to hurt others for your own gratification because you can just hide behind a team of attorneys to protect you from the consequences of your own actions.
But enough about Elon Musk…
This comment is brilliant. Thank you!
They also forgot to request a jury which means the judge will be the decision maker in all of this
They did not “forget” to request a jury. This is all intentional.
You overestimate the competence of an attorney that knows they won’t get paid.
Trump losing his shit makes me so happy. I loath that man and his supporters
I’m loving the court phase so far, his dumb stupid grimace says it all.
This man is about to get the narrowest gag order ever written, lol. He literally can’t open his mouth about this trial and not threaten or intimidate someone.
Hasn’t he already violated several gag orders without any consequences? Why should he stop now?
Any other person would have thrown into jail a long time already, but he keeps getting away with it.

My understanding of the current situation is that there were “informal” warnings, but not actually codified legal gag orders. I guess it was like the judge specifically told Trump not to say anything that could be construed as witness intimidation or jury poisoning.
Since he immediately turned around and did exactly that, now they’re doing it “officially”.

Oh, far and beyond without a doubt a normal person like you or I would be in the slammer right now waiting for trial. I could not say the shit that he said in front of a camera and not be immediately punished for it. Trump has been treated with kid gloves throughout the whole process because everybody is afraid of invoking political wrath. I’d say if you make a fool of yourself and clearly attempt to obstruct justice, it shouldn’t matter if you are a president or a pauper, it’s time to be put away. Smart people stay silent.
Dude knows he’s going down hard in the next 12 months. He has managed to skirt the law this long, but that long arm is tugging at him and he’s scared shitless.
while at the same time people are being murdered outside on the streets and nothing happens to those people that do the murdering."
Isn’t this the guy that referred to himself as “Teflon Don” because he could “stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters?”
What a chump.
Chump of the Week for uncountable weeks in a row
Realistically, how many people would still vote for him if he did?
All of them.
Too many
interferes with election
Cries interferece when it’s not even remotely related
That he turns to rant just shows that he long ran out of arguments. I hope the court will draw the right conclusions and revoke his bail for threatening the presiding judge.
It’s like getting into an exasperating online debate with someone, and their final post is a rage comic.
what a bag of hot air. If only we could tap that for energy or something.
That would be a regression from clean energy though.
Eh. Think of it as energy recovery while scrubbing out the filth.
Please, don’t make me think of what it would be like to “tap that”. Dinner is almost ready.
The MAGA crowd was right about one thing.
Tears are tasty.
Livid Donald Trump….
I like how that sounds.
The judge is corrupt. A summary judgment was made without trial. This is just wrong.
The corrupt establishment is doing everything it can to stop Trump. Hilarious!
The facts are not in dispute, the crazy fraudulent way the trumpet is used to do bussiness is not a secret, he himself said ‘Im very smart’ when asked about not paying taxes. Hillaryous!
I don’t care, and I’m not here to argue your worthless opinion. There MUST be a trial, because that’s everyone’s right. No one is above the law… well, except for the corrupt establishment that finds ways around law.
hillaryous! lock him up! fucken dirt bag is getting his comeuppance and its D-LICIOUS! lmao

thats one dumb talking point son, weak and dumb just like the orange traitor, and I didn’t express any opinion he’s said all those dumb things, and his injury lawyers are exactly what he deserves cause the other ones are indicted in Ga., them walls are creeping in and his desperate grimace outside court is GOLD! not to mention the MAGA tears.
Nice barking. Now back to your cage.
Dogs bark, and the people continue their lives.
