Days before his New York criminal trial, Trump violated his gag order to berate Cohen on social media
Donald Trump is currently being held under the guidelines of a gag order issued by Judge Juan Merchan, which prohibits “making or directing others to make public statements about known or reasonably foreseeable witnesses concerning their potential participation in the investigation or in this criminal proceeding.” But days before his New York criminal trial, he seems to have done just that.
In a post to Truth Social on Saturday, Trump writes, “Has Mark POMERANTZ been prosecuted for his terrible acts in and out of the D.A.’s Office. Has disgraced attorney and felon Michael Cohen been prosecuted for LYING? Only TRUMP people get prosecuted by this Judge and these thugs! A dark day for our Country. MAGA2024!!!”
Cohen, Trump’s former attorney and a key witness in his upcoming hush money trial, fired-back at Trump’s attack with his own post to social media, writing, “When does enough become enough and the petulant man child gets a time out in lockup for his bad behavior?”
Do a billion dollar fine for every violation please!
Oh no. This is contempt of court. Merchan can jail him if the violation warrants such action.
Ain’t nothin gonna happen.
If Merchan decides not to charge him, he’ll do so in a way that illustrates his leniency for future reference of considerations made by the court. He’s a no-nonsense judge who already knows Trump is looking to claim mistrial.
He seems like a real boss, but he’s definitely allowed a ton of nonsense. Presumably in the course of ensuring an ironclad trial, but good god trump is still doing his thing.
For sure. It seems the only constants in the universe are perpetual change, and Trump will continue Trump.
One of those is a word.
Having heard Cohen speak a few times, I’m almost sure that he’s called Trump a petulant man child many times before.
It would be sweet, if Trump’s downfall comes from not being able to keep his own mouth shut.

Why not calling him what he is, a cunt!
‘…being held under the guidelines of a gag order…’
Lol. What gag order? I don’t see any gag order. There’d be consequences if there was a gag order in place. There ain’t no fucking consequences.
