Relevant context, Judge Merchan is not covered in the gag order which is likely why Trump is venting his petulant frustration his way. The judge has shown he gives no fucks for the impotent insults Trump is hurling.
Trump probably would like to moan about everyone involved in the case. If he is dictating his tweets to an intern, then likely the intern doesn’t press Send on the ones that discuss the people protected by the order.
I was going to write the same thing if you hadn’t. It’s a shame I had to scroll so far past the “judge won’t do anything” comments to someone else who’s actually reading the court notes.
He reduced the counts from 10 to 8, due to the defense’s argument about clarification of reposting vs posting, but has yet to rule on the order violations. It’ll likely be the $1,000 per infraction recommendation of the prosecution, with possible jail time for future infractions.
Merchan doesn’t play around, but he’s also smart not to give Trump any reason to claim bias or mistrial. By the book is the right play here.
The man used to fall asleep with Twitter open and then accidentally tweet nonsense. I doubt he’s got anyone else in control of his social media now. I even remember reading how his staff pleaded with him to not Tweet the week of the election
