Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

starting to grow Perot ears

I was about to post a picture of that genetically modified rat with an ear growing out of its back, but it was horrifying, even by the standards of Eric Trump.

one’s a hideous abomination formed by unholy meddling with the natural order, the other is a genetically modified rat etc etc

Earic Trump

jesus looking old there man

hey man, he packed a lotta livn' in those 33 years

forgot to hydrate

Jesus looking old and also sinister.

He never buys any smokes iirc

Jesus looks like a guy with some dark secrets

unindicted co-conspirator #17 unmasked as yeshua bar yosef during surprise court appearance

looks like his death sentence was commuted to 20 years in prison and he paid off the Samaritan gang to shank Judas

he came back from the dead to attend a civil trial in New York, that doesn't surprise me a bit

he looks like barry gibb

Jesus, or Sauron?

Jim Caviezel?

Jesus famously hung out with fraudsters.

maybe Our Saviour sides with the prosecution? he works in mysterious ways, after all

Trump, on Truth Social, is attacking Judge Engoron's *clerk," — who is literally in the courtroom with him — while calling her "Chuck Schumer's girlfriend" and posting a link to her Instagram account.

I suspect this will be an exhibit in some gag order arguments.

Hang on, America!

(I mean, we’ve all been hanging on for dear life for damn near a decade, just a few more years)

jfc

Can you call back, my son? I'm hanging in court with Trump right now. Even better, just shoot me a text.

A contempt order would be hilarious.

"Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you... uh, that guy right there?"

the nails in His wrists will set off the courtroom metal detector

they seem to be tiptoeing around a gag order in all of the cases because he's a presidential candidate, perhaps when a witness or a court official ends up dead they might think he's gone a bit too far this time!

can he be taken into custody on CoC in a trial like this or is it just censure

nothing will happen because roaches dont die but in *theory* anyway...

when is this fucker going to die

Jesus is right there. Trump could just go with him.

"When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

(attempts to lift Trump)

"Fuck, what a gluttonous slob. Why don't you get some steps in yourself, you lazy-ass lump."

Can't believe this has to keep being said but can we maybe focus on Trump's being a hateful, racist, fraudulent wannabe-dictator and maybe not crack jokes about his weight, as those won't hurt him but might make others feel shit?

Yup - it's shit like making fun of people's weight that is the reason we hate Trump.

Agree that there are lots of other avenues to attack that individual.

I am, however, mildly okay with at least some petty snipes at Trump, because he deals in them. And lo, it is written: thou shalt not disheth it out if thou cannot taketh it.

If he is going to deal in petty appearance-based slights about Liddle Marco or about his rape accusers not being Tens, then one can be forgiven for some of the (admittedly pretty juvenile) slights about the size of his hands or his stupid "hair" or the degeneracy of his diet or his ketchup/well-done steak habit or whatever.

Of course I don't condone any line of attack that makes decent, innocemt people feel hurt. But... Trump has taken the low road so many times that I am not sure we're obliged to take the high road where he is concerned.

Whoops!

It's notable that the judge has clearly let Trump skate on all the venting against himself, but as soon as Trump did this, the hammer fell. One suspects his lawyers will take the hint in turn. Also: since Don Jr and Eric are part of this as well, they can't be proxies for dad here.

Barron, you're hired!

I'm sure this, finally, will keep T in check

I mean what happens if he defies the gag order? can't be good

I actually am honestly wondering what Trump will do here.

I'm sure this, finally, will keep T in check

When he, finally, became presidential.

Quoth the judge, "Failure to abide by this order will result in serious sanctions." Saw somewhere that that could mean 30 days in jail.

His lawyers probably have a hard enough job keeping the phone out of his stubby little hands during the trial, lest he be actively "truthing" during it.

can he be taken into custody on CoC in a trial like this or is it just censure

In theory, a contemnor of a lawful order in a civil case in New York can be fine, or arrested and jailed. It depends how far the contempt goes.

Looks like we are going to find out.

fined

Per a Bluesky post from Popehat/Ken White:

Annoying, insulting, or picking on courtroom staff is foolish on an entirely different level than just annoying the judge.

You have NO IDEA the array of things that can start going badly for you. And judges are VERY protective of staff.

fuck around, fined out

Separately from legal reporter Adam Klasfeld, attending the trial:

One of the reasons Trump was playing with fire going after *this* clerk:

She's an active participant in Engoron's cases, and she sometimes personally questions the parties. In fact, she grilled Trump's lawyers in critical pre-trial hearings in this case. https://t.co/yxODiZhUeu

Basically he really did the stupidest thing possibly in a case where there's only one person who makes the decisions.
