The fine is a joke to Trump, but that's not the intresting part of this bond. It's the gag order that the Judge added to this release:
"Under his bond agreement in Georgia, Mr. Trump cannot communicate with any co-defendants in the case except through his lawyers. He was also directed to “make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against the community,” including “posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual."
Yeah, he should be in pre-trail detainment by now. But it's disingenuous to look at this bond, only look at the fee, and say it's worthless. I think the gag order has some real value. It's another step towards throwing his ass in pre-trail detainment.
