    Some folks like to bang their little gavels and spout their impotent rulings. It's mostly harmless.

    Meanwhile, the perp can't seem to control himself and respect the law:

    Trump falsely claimed Thursday that he is not allowed to testify in his own defense at a criminal trial in Manhattan over his alleged falsification of business records.
    Screen Shot 2024-05-03 at 8.16.32 AM.png
    After leaving the courtroom for the day, Trump told reporters, “I’m not allowed to testify. I’m under a gag order. I guess, right?” He added, “I’m not allowed to testify, because this judge, who’s totally conflicted, has me under an unconstitutional gag order.” He continued by complaining that he’s “not allowed to talk” even when others attack him, then said again, “So I’m not allowed to testify because of an unconstitutional gag order.”

    Trump’s claim is false. He is allowed to testify at the trial; the decision is entirely up to him.

    The sexual abuser/business fraud's worshipful lickspittles like it when he whines like a big, old crybaby.

    When America gets made great again, will it go back to the time when legal process was respected?

    Yes, besides that. He's going to continue being treated with kid gloves for that, despite that fact that any of us would already be in jail for acting the same way. I'm more curious about the supposed violations of the rules of law that his followers are claiming, for which I've found no actual examples.

    Yes. The gag order applies to EXTRAJUDICIAL comments. Not to anything said in the course of the trial.

    It's utterly amazing how much his followers are such blind sheep. It's like they just stop thinking for themselves and ignore all logic.

    The court is making up the rules as they go along. The prosecutor claims Trump violated the gag order by calling David Pecker a nice guy and the judge doesn't want Trump talking to the press at all.

    More nonsense. Trump can talk to the press. Trump is either an idiot or he's betting on his followers being idiots.

    Nope, the rules (also known as LAWS) are already in place. The court is just enforcing them.

    The law prohibits Trump from talking to the press and calling someone a "nice guy"?

    No law prohibits Trump from talking to the press. You have been lied to.

    Did the judge specifically state that Trump violated the gag order by calling David Pecker a nice guy? Please show the quote. Thanks!
