Former President Donald Trump lashed out at Judge Arthur Engoron, who is overseeing Trump’s New York civil fraud trial, for ruling that Ivanka Trump would be required to testify despite being dismissed as a defendant in June. In a series of Truth Social posts on Saturday. Trump called Engoron an “Unhinged” and a “Nut Job,” before ranting, “I truly believe he is CRAZY, but certainly, at a minimum, CRAZED in his hatred of me.” In his second post, Trump described Engoron as “grossly incompetent.” On Oct. 25, Engoron forced Trump to testify for insulting a law clerk, and the fined him $10,000 after the former president violated a gag order in the case.

1. Double his fine, plus 48 hours in jail.

No privileges or extras either.

[Trueblue1968]

4. Double the fine and 48 months in jail !!!!!!!!!!

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Didn't Trump just violate the gag order -- again?

[dpibel]

6. Gag only applies to court staff

Judge is not included.

[Irish_Dem]

8. The judge represents the court, he should be covered too.

[dpibel]

10. The judge wrote the order

I'm gonna figure he knows who he is and what he does.

IMHO, it's prudent for him not to include himself. Imagine the mileage Trump and his cult would get from "Judge is such a wimp he can't even take a little criticism!!!1!1!!"

12. Jail trump for 4 hours

Judges/the System is extremely reluctant to put Trump in jail. Say, for 10 days, 30 days for Contempt of Court. Fines of $10,000 to $50,000 will matter little.

Suggestion: Put Trump in jail for 3-4 hours. He will have to undergo all the humiliation of strip searches, jail regs, etc.

4 hrs sounds to the public like acceptably modest, because they do not grasp the full implications. It will also force the SS to get their act together to figure out when to turn their duties over to Federal Marshals and Prison Officers.

14. This is a good suggestion. I'd say 8 hours tho

It wouldn’t take him out of campaigning (much) and he’d actually suffer *some* sting

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

17. 4 hrs now and 4 hrs on a different day for each and every repeated offense n/t

Make him spend every morning being processed

[Irish_Dem]

19. The judge is wrong. It is not about HIM.

The judge represents the court and all the other judges Trump is threatening.

And he should not make major decisions based on MAGA crapola rhetoric.

I guess it will take Trump getting a judge killed before the judges wake the hell up.
And do their damn jobs.

[onecaliberal]

3. Welp...

[Warpy]

5. Somebody needs to tell Fat Donny the awful truth

and that is that the judge is not a crazed enemy who wants to destroy him, the judge is a referee who doesn't really give a shit about him and only wants the rules followed.

That's right, Donny, Judge Engoron is totally indifferent to you, how much money you claim to have, how fancy your various apartments are, how many buildings have your name on them. The judge is there to enforce a set of rules we call LAWS and doesn't really give much thought to anything else, especially your hurt feefees.

The opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference.

[SWBTATTReg]

7. Keep pushing the buttons donnie boy...

[Disaffected]

9. Are there not contempt of court laws on the US? nt

[Evolve Dammit]

11. Lock Donnie Dipshit up FCS

[republianmushroom]

13. Stop the coddling, 5 days in jail will be a good start.

[malaise]

15. Lock him up

RFN!

[Mr. Ected]

16. Trump uses human shields to deflect from prosecution

He calls them his children.

[llmart]

18. Wait, he's only concerned about Ivanka?

I guess Dumb and Dumber aren't that important to him, but Princess Sparkle Pony is.

[Poiuyt]

20. The various judges seem to be bending over backwards to NOT throw Trump in jail

I doubt if anyone else would be given so much latitude.

[nakocal]

21. If Trump is innocent

why wouldn't he want his children to testify and exonerate him. He would only have reason to complain if he were guilty, along with the children.

[Cha]

22. HAHA! That means it's BAD. Of Course.
