I highly doubt Trump learned something from this

I'm sure Trump's familiar with engorgement, however...

late 15th century: from Old French desgorger, from des- (expressing removal) + gorge ‘throat’.

Nice to see more accuracy in news headlines

Not even quotation marks. Wow.

I'm a fan of New Republic but it's a silly headline, should have used the proper term "failson."

He's all about controlling the narrative. He wants his base to get pissed off because "the libs are going after his kids to get back at him."

But go ahead and ask him what he thinks about all the Hunter Biden investigations.

but Trump is a billionaire,

well. he says he is. In this one case, lets take him at his word and charge 15 billion instead.

He's playing to his donors and staying in the headlines. He's pulling in millions in donations every time he complains. It's making a mockery of the judicial system and campaign finance to fleece his electorate. The gag order should have been much more broad.

I'm hoping that the $5,000 and $10,000 fines are the judge's way of making any future punishments appeal proof. M

If the judge went right to "jail Trump" on the first infraction, Trump could appeal and get the jail time reversed. What's more, Trump's lawyers might be able to allege that the judge was biased and get the whole thing tossed.

But if the judge starts slow and ramps up, it will be evident to any appeals court that the judge tried everything he could to avoid serious repercussions and Trump simply gave him no choice.

Add an exponent after each one. Should have been 5000 the first time then multiply by an ever increasing number each time. 10000, 30000, 120000, 600000, 3.6m ,25.2m

He would have to stop by 3.6 million since that is probably more liquid cash then he has available.

Cheeto chimp is definitely not a billionaire. He's a lying, flim flam man.

"Trump on acid?"

"No, I said 'Trump in acid.'"

He's probably afraid that they'll slip up and prove that he really did everything that's been claimed, that has a mountain of evidence, and that he's already been found liable for.

Wouldn't you be worried if your entire financial well-being depended on Don Jr and Eric?

I'm hoping they ask questions that they know the kids will perjure themselves lying about and that they have proof that they know what the truth is.

He's losing. He's not talking to the court, he's talking to the "stand back and stand by" crowd.

He'd be the leader of some skin head gang by the end of the first day. Enjoying special privileges from prison staff that are believers. It would put him in direct contact with very dangerous people that idolize the image he's projected, people he wouldn't normally be caught dead talking to.

I'd prefer house arrest for him, keep him comfortable enough to prevent too much complaints. Isolated enough to prevent damage. No visitors, no internet, but lots of Big Macs and KFC. His very own Elba.

Don't attribute to stupidity what can be attributed to malice.

Trump is an idiot. Musk is evil. Musk didn't buy Xitter to make it better, despite his claim of being capable of making it more profitable. He bought it using a shitload of Saudi oil money in order to destroy one of the largest platforms for leftist voices in the western world. This wasn't just him blustering into a 25 billion dollar loss on Xitter. What Musk does is very intentional.

Trump Melt-Up Sandwich: $32. Made with stale white gas station bread, coated with cheeto crumbs, filled with moldy bologna with a side of dog shit

It's one of those hyperbolic headline words, in actuality it's a pathetic complain post that reads like all his others. I'm sure the judge will "absolutely obliterate" him later by sitting there and doing their job.
