    For the people in the comment section before you all freak out about only 9000$. It’s because that’s the maximum fine that the judge was allowed to give him based under New York Law, im guessing it would have been higher if the judge could have.

    "Take the f---ing mags away. They're not here to hurt me." - defendant Trump, 01-06-2021

  • @jmb3608

    "Trump returns to campaign trail after being held in contempt for violating gag order" so let's otherwise "Convince It Forward" with Laus DEO thanksdoc
  • Wonder what he'll have to say now that he's returning to the "campaign trail". He says the same thing every campaign stop. He really doesn't make any effort to actually campaign, in the sense of trying to convince NEW voters to vote for him. They could just set up a big video screen and replay the video from his last appearance. His supporters wouldn't know the difference

    A "criminal" returns to the campaign trail. These are crazy days we're livin in.
  • @cowgirl1163
    Ummm the criminal was golfing but then complaining that the defendant can’t campaign sad liar
  • no other candidate has left a courtroom to go campaign, never happened before,
  • The judge is the one that needs jail time. Crooked Democrat and its just a witch hunt..

    New York just imported a bunch of kangaroos from Australia for their court rooms
  • @JacobSolbux
    Many people have gagged because of his odor
  • If anyone is wondering why most of our favorite trolls are not posting today, and the comments section is quiet. May 1st is a national holiday in Russia.
  • Shouldn't the mayor of New York step in and say what he's telling all the protesters they have the right to protest freedom of speech but yet our President TRUMP FOR the United States cannot do that

    "It's cold in here. They won't let me violate the gag order. This case should've never been brought." For a supposed tough guy, he sure does whine a lot!
