Justice Arthur Engoron on Oct. 3 barred Trump from disparaging court staff after Trump shared on social media a photo of the judge's top clerk posing with U.S. Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, and falsely called her Schumer's "girlfriend."

During a trial break on Wednesday in the civil lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James concerning Trump's business practices, Trump told reporters, "This judge is a very partisan judge, with a person who's very partisan sitting alongside of him, perhaps even much more partisan than he is."

Engoron, surmising that Trump was referring to his clerk, called the comments a "blatant" violation of the gag order. The judge imposed the fine after Trump briefly took the witness stand to take questions.

Perhaps a week or so in jail will clean up his behavior.

Or, you know. The rest of his life,

Yeah but that happens after the trial.

Not if they hold them until it’s over. Like they would have held any one else by now

Imo they haven't simply because if Trump is in jail, so is his Secret Service detail ... and that's a shit show nobody wants to deal with right now.

We should just build a cell in the white house. A super secret cell with tunnels and bunkers and shit. Everyone knows it's there, but they say it's impossible to figure out where it is. There's only one entrance inside the white house somewhere that only 3 secret service agents know about.

And the sitting president can stream footage online if they wanted.

It's not like they'll be in the cell with him.

And it'll be a lot easier for them to keep him protected if he's locked up. (Clearly they'll never put someone like this in general population where some random gangbanger can get at him.)

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did. And then, Epstein’d his ass

Nah, take him to a cell in some place like Leavenworth where they've already got plenty of security. No sense in wasting money on extra personnel when they can just house him with other high security felons.

Solitary is pretty safe
