All this does is give Trump more of a boost. He won't abide by whatever they say. What are they going to do, throw him in jail? Nah... Waste of time.

They are attempting to muzzle the most popular political figure in America!

President Donald J Trump!

Stripping all Americans’ (both supporters and not) opportunity to hear from the leading candidate for President.

UnConstitutional and unAmerican! pic.twitter.com/4MHAUPGv8O

Stupid Trump, making life difficult for those attempting to throw him in jail for the rest of his life for made up crimes.

Just comply comrade, it will be much easier for us if you just do what you're told.

Thanks for the Trump update! Hope it scratched the itch.

I just wish Trump would allow a competent and articulate writer craft these statements in a more professional manner. He/she could easily pass along the insults and criticisms in a more effective and damaging way just by not sounding like a 13 year old. I agree with most of what Trump is saying, but his delivery is off putting to so many people that he needs to win over. What these people are doing to him is wildly unAmerican and his immature writing style will only help them get away with it.

A gag order on a former President? Yeah, that's not "politics" worthy.

This is exactly what is going on.

OP makes textbook definition of trolling post. Link to article where the only context provided is a snarky comment about how Trump will not comply.

If not trolling, what is the point of posting it with the only comment, from a lawyer, being a snark designed to elicit a response from Trump supporters?

Trump already has a limited gag order in the Trump Org civil suit.

An ongoing gag order hearing on a former president in a felony trial is not "Texags Politics Board" worthy for you but is "trolling"?

Yes, explicitly because of the posting of the link without sincere discussion and using snark to try to evoke a response from posters who may support Trump. Yes, that is textbook trolling.

Not one person, not even you, believe you posted that update with a sincere attempt to discuss the topic.

Yeah, let's violate Trump's 1st Amendment right because he posted something the judge's thin skin couldn't tolerate.

Let's interrupt the ad hominem attack on me to discuss the actual hearing.... It's getting kindy spicy now.

As Lauro defends Trump's use of term "thug".... Judge interjects again. She tells attorney John Lauro, "Obviously you have an audience other than me in mind"

— Scott MacFarlane (@MacFarlaneNews) October 16, 2023

Defense: "In President Trump's mind.. he's facing every possible right being taken away from him"

Judge responds by mentioning Trump's Truth Social post from last night... which said Trump is campaigning in Iowa today. "Mr. Lauro, let's tone this down a bit"

— Scott MacFarlane (@MacFarlaneNews) October 16, 2023

Judge seems full of herself. News at 11.

Whatever she rules is going to appeal. We have 1st amendment rights for a reason, this should be a good test.

Let her lock him up for violating a gag order. Would be hilarious.

They ARE thugs. Dem puppets. Next question?

Live thread.. Still going...

- Chutkan first addressing the question of whether Trump's team needs to get court authorization regarding any jury pool surveys they want to conduct

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

- Prosecutor Molly Gaston: government has "no interest in stopping the defendant from running for office"
- MG: Derogatory and inflammatory statements attacking witnesses (risk influencing both individual and public)
- Trial of this case in public vs. courtroom

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

- Chutkan asks Gaston to define inflammatory and disparaging statements
- MG: commonly understood & dictionary definitions
- Chutkan reminds Gaston this must be narrowly tailored and pushes for a defined standard

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

- Lauro: the "Biden Administration is seeking to silence his top political candidate in the middle of an election season."
- Chutkan: Trump is a private citizen and must bend to the will of the law

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

- Lauro: Pres. Trump is ENTITLED to speak truth like this is a "politically motivated" witch-hunt to get him
- Chutkan claims Lauro is using "campaign rhetoric" in the courtroom
- Lauro: these prosecutors CHOSE to bring this case in the middle of a campaign

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

- Chutkan's demeanor and approach is wildly different when she interacts with the government and the Trump team
- Friendly and reasonable for the gov't
- Hostile and annoyed for the Trump team

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

- Chutkan: asks whether Trump's statements could be considered as disparaging to DC
- Chutkan says it is - Trump called it a "filthy and crime-ridden embarrassment to this nation"
- Trump is 100000000000% correct FYI (as someone who's been in DC for 6+ years)

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

- Chutkan: Trump does not "have unfettered First Amendment rights" as a criminal defendant
- Chutkan: the term "Crooked Joe Biden" would fall under the definitions of disparaging and inflammatory comments per the gov't gag order

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

- Chutkan pressing Gaston on why they can't simply use voir dire
- Chutkan says this order appears to be too broad

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

- Lauro: what is Trump said, "Crooked Joe Biden was bribed for millions of dollars also approves this political prosecution of me"
- Gaston: that WOULD violate the order because she claims it is a FACT that Biden did not have his hands on this prosecution

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

- Chutkan: how is calling a "civil servant doing their job...a thug necessary to advance a political campaign?" (referring to Jack Smith)
- Lauro: "deranged" means insane/out of your mind; "thug" means bully; he argues Trump is entitled to use that language

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

- Chutkan: obviously you have an audience OTHER THAN ME in mind
- Chutkan: tell me how the word "thug" is justified in this scenario --> she says that word risks violence
- Lauro: what type of language do you use when faced with a system veering towards tyranny?

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

This statement is hard to defend.

Defense is downplaying the "punishment by death" statements about Mark Milley by Trump

Judge keeps raising the issue, though. She's emphasizing that statement in particular

— Scott MacFarlane (@MacFarlaneNews) October 16, 2023

This Lauro guy is holding his own based on the Daniel Baldwin twitter account! Tough job here!

Ultimately, I think Chutkan is not going to give Smith what he wants on a gag order. As she said, how could you word the Order?

She may sign something, but it will be close to toothless. Trump isn't going to be locked up for violating any "gag order." Sorry to all those still fanticizing about it! lol

Sounds a lot like my comment in the OP that was called, "trolling." stop trolling!!!!!

Lauro raises a good point:

- Lauro: I wish Bill Barr were here; he would tell you he's never been intimidated by comments from Trump --> these are not little leagues who get offended by comments from Trump

Lauro keeps emphasizing Pence, Barr, etc. have monetized their interactions with Trump

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

Who is intimidated?

Smith would need to bring in someone to say they felt intimidated if he was really concerned. This hearing is just setting up the Court to dislike Trump more (if that is possible).

NEWS: Donald Trump is now legally *barred* from attacking special counsel Jack Smith or his team with inflammatory rhetoric and assailing prospective witnesses or court personnel.

Chutkan said she will impose "sanctions" if she sees any violations.https://t.co/VSHmpc2sY0

— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) October 16, 2023

What was denied: statements about DC (Chutkan did say this could play a role in moving the trial to a new venue though); statements about Joe Biden and this being a politically motivated trial

— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) October 16, 2023

So "don't do what you are already not supposed to do."

O/U on how soon he violates it? 1 hour?

People ask me, 'Mr President what you think about these gag orders' and I tell them...it's like that movie Anchorman when they're doing their 'Panda watch' and they're just waiting for anything to talk about because they have nothing else to talk about. They do they have nothing else to talk about because things are so bad in our country right now. It's like the people who voted for Sleepy Joe and don't want to talk about his terrible policies. They are they're terrible policies. So bad. They only want to talk about Trump. 'What's Trump doing? When did Trump get up this morning? I wonder what Trump is thinking?'. So sad.

Is there a Trump AI you are using? Pretty hilarious.

Can Trump still talk about how awful of a President Joe Biden is? How his son, Hunter, is a criminal? Or has Chutkan barred that too? Half-joking.

According to Baldwin tweet, he can do both of those.

This might actually help Trump. Instead of constantly whining about stolen elections and making disparaging remarks about judges and district attorneys, maybe he can focus instead on future policies ?

What does this statement mean?

Quote:

---

What was denied: statements about DC

---

Statements about District Court, or Washington DC?

What is the appeal process for Trump? The case is a sham, and he can't comment on it?

So just send out Donald Trump Jr to attack Jack Smith and his team of thugs with inflammatory rhetoric and assail the whitnesses and court personnel. Problem solved !

Smith wanted Trump to be barred from saying mean things about District of Columbia. That was denied.

Until the actual wording is seen, everyone just educated guessing at this point.

From Baldwin tweet above:

Quote:

---

Trump can continue to criticize the trial as a politically motivated witch-hunt, but Chutkan says he cannot continue to launch "a pre-trial smear campaign" on prosecutors.
