At least he's not being called the current president. He is, in fact, the FORMER president no matter how ashamed we are for voting for him in the first place (I've NEVER voted for him - I had a sneaky suspicion and never listened nor read the news pre-election so didn't know all this stuff - I'll NEVER vote for a liar and he was one). He will go down in history as the worst president of all time and maybe, the psychiatrists and psychologists can analyze MAGAs and cult behavior (some already have) and get to the bottom of why all this happened ?

It's not that he can't keep his mouth shut (definitely part of it) but that thinks he's being treated unfairly because he can't just say anything he wants to say. Free speech doesn't include the things he says. He just doesn't want to stop and his lawyers have no control over his mouth. Guilty people act the way he does. Many of those are already in prison for crimes they've committed and deny doing. They'll never face reality because they can't admit the horrendous acts they've committed. Only monsters act that way.

Will there still be wars under this Trump dictatorship? Last time he was president, we didnt have all these wars. Asking for a friend.
The RIGHT thing to do is to put him in jail, just like everyone else. Do the right thing.
It's just like the cops in London: "STOP! OR, ... I'LL ... YELL STOP AGAIN!"
The moral of the story is he will never be held responsible
I am more and more disappointed every day. I am at the point where I am losing any shred of hope that justice will be served in this case.

If justice is actually served, he won't be charged since this doesn't qualify under the criminal statutes. It's like making lemonade out of dirt, you can say its lemonade but everyone else knows it missing the main ingredients to make it.
Put him in jail already
How many other Americans have had 10 warnings for violating a court order and have never gone to jail...!!!
Why does this judge NOT want to do this????? Enough with the fines and the weak warnings. He's not going to listen so play the jail card for heaven sakes!!!!!!!

The reason why is the judge is preserving the record for the eventual appeal. Judge Merchan even acknowledges that he knows the relatively small fines will not deter Trump. But by being slow to incarcerate Trump, the judge is preventing the argument on appeal of judicial bias.

It certainly indicates that even if convicted of criminal fraud he will not receive a strong sentence. This is not encouraging for our democracy or the rule of law. I hope the judge will not make that mistake.

T-Rump is not above the law. He cannot get away with these egregious acts of breaking the law and getting away with it. Even though I dont know what laws he broke, exactly, Im sure he is guilty and just needs to go to prison4life. Put him in solitary and let him suffer.
For those focusing on this being the 10th contempt finding: it is the 10th finding for events that happened _before_ he actually had the first contempt hearing. It’s not like he got the contempt rulings one at a time and then committed contempt again after each one. Prosecutors haven’t filed any motions yet to hold him in contempt for events occurring after that first hearing was held IIRC. Downside of giving his defense team a week to prepare to defend against the contempt motion was technically during that week they didn’t have a ruling. Now they do, so there’s less “this is unclear” wiggle room. A better way to think of it: this is the result of his 2nd contempt hearing. Next one is likely to be the third strike.

Trouble is America has never been in a situation like this in its history, a former and possibly future president being criminally prosecuted, and facing further legal troubles, it's uncharted territory, and the whole weight is on judge Merchan's shoulders to break the ice and jail him. Also, unlike other countries , the president of the united states has an almost God like status , and that in my opinion is wrong, and it should change...
