Donald Trump has been crying ever since his criminal hush money/election interference trial started as if he feels so privileged that he shouldn't be held accountable for his actions. So, we have to listen to him whine that he's under a gag order. The thing is, Lumpy feels that he should be able to lash out at witnesses to undermine the trial. Trump suggested that he would make a "sacrifice" and go to jail. Can you imagine former President McHamberders eating jailhouse food?
"And it's a disgrace," Trump told reporters. "And then you have the other thing that maybe is even more disgraceful: the gag order, where I can't basically—I have to watch every word I tell you people."
"You ask me a question, a simple question, I'd like to give it, but I can't talk about it because this judge has given me a gag order and said, you'll go to jail if you violate it," he continued. "And frankly, you know what, our Constitution is much more important than jail."
"It's not even close," he added. "I'll do that sacrifice any day. But what's happening here is a disgrace that the appellate courts ought to get involved."
He's probably just testing Judge Juan Merchan, who threatened to lock up the former President if he continues to violate the gag order.
"I find you in criminal contempt for the 10th time," Justice Juan Merchan said. "Going forward, this court will have to consider a jail sentence. The last thing I want to do is put you in jail."
