Former President Donald Trump was fined $5,000 by a New York judge for breaking his court-issued gag order in his civil fraud case. The judge warned Trump that further violations would have more severe consequences including possible jail time. The gag order was imposed after Trump posted on the media site Truth Social attacking the judge’s law clerk. However, Trump left the post up on his website for two more weeks. Recently, the Judge has extended the gag order to include lawyers after Trump made inappropriate remarks about the same law clerk. Although not a large sum for Trump, the fines for breaking the gag order are the only time he has been ridiculed for disobeying court orders. However, Trump’s gag order in his fraud case has been temporarily lifted while the appeals court is to give time to the judges to consider Trump’s request for a longer pause on the restrictions.

Why doesn’t he spend his time showing his proof of no wrong doing instead of just trash talking anybody and everybody?
