'Game of chicken': Trump 'daring' Judge Merchan to punish him for gag order violations
#Trump #Trial #HushMoney
I never want to hear the phrase "Nobody is above the law" ever again. Anyone else would have been jailed long ago.
Nope because president Trump has done nothing
All these cases are making RESPECT for the law slowly go away for the average American. Either our laws are laws for everyone or no no one. I wish people who would read the posts from the Average American’s and wake up before it is too late
Absolutely right. They would have been jailed long ago.
Fani Willis has no problem breaking the law. Should she be allowed to skip jail?
@chrisjames3087
Trump hasn't actually done anything.... and Biden has done a lot more corrupt dealings. His son too. Why no jail time for the Bidens?
And why should Trump have been "jailed long ago" when he hasn't been proven guilty yet? What is it innocent till proven guilty for black rapists but not Trump 😂🤣
Anyone else that defied a rule from a judge like trump did, would already be put in jail! Lock up.
Judges don't usually try to silence the defendant .
He wants to be arrested, it would put him in office
@@MochaMan. defendants are usually smarter than to disparage the judge.
Trumps rights are not being violated. Trump is attempting to violate others rights. The witnesses and the jury. Trump is calling everyone else corrupt but never ever says “I’m innocent”.
@@chrisward4576 Only maga cultists would consider going to jail/prison for criminal acts an honorable action for a Presidential candidate. Btw, he's already experienced being arrested. Don't recall him seeming to enjoy it. Sure did A LOT of whining.
Disappointing justice system. Make him accountable like you would do to any citizen.
The brainwashing in this one is strong.
From an Englishman, to us it looks like the legal system is frightened of drumpf, god help your country!
God help every country, not use the US, if he's reelected president.
If Trump thinks getting put in jail will help politically, throw him in jail to see if his theory is correct. LOCK HIM UP! NO MORE TWO TIERED JUSTICE SYSTEM!!!
It will help arresting your polictal challenger that's what dictators do
Amen
and make it a very nasty cold cell for at least a month
And if he thinks 8 hours in court is a problem, watch after jail as his facial expression reveals his thoughts on his future incarceration.
Since Hillary and Bill both committed crimes should they not also be in prison? If you do not agree then you're a typical hypocrite with no right to comment.
The entire world is so sick and tired of tRump !
No we're not.
TRUMP LOVES YOU AND YOUR AMERICAN RIGHTS. Democrats not so much
Yes we are!!!! If you’re not, like the 2 commenters above me, seek professional help.
@@MochaMan. YES WE ARE !!!
@@MochaMan.you literally work for Putin.
Just because a criminal says something is unconstitutional doesn't make it so. How is that not obvious?
no more chances he's not above the law throw him in JAIL already
When the punishment for a crime is a fine the crime is only intended for the poor
And if you're rich enough even big crimes don't matter with the right lawyers. Heck when it comes to the crime is a fine many large businesses profit from the crime to the point the fine is less than the gain, at which point it's just the cost of doing business.
Excellent point.
@@lewiskazzamo230 maybe in those instances the fine should be the amount the company profited from the criminal action plus 25%
@@davedixon2068
I forget where, but they actually do that in some countries for speeding tickets. That it is base on a percentage of your earnings.
Fines don't work on Trump, its time for prison.
Fines mean it's only a crime for poor people.

And he'll go straight to the Whitehouse🤣
@@chrisward4576 I just left a really good Donald Trump impersonation in the toilet!! 😂😂😁😁🤣🤣
Freedom of speech does not include attacking witnesses.
this maniac thinks the only way this could be a fair trial is to gsg all the witnesses against him.
If the press weren’t in the hallway, he wouldn’t have a platform to spout his BS every day. Treat him like everyone else that has to go to court!
stop blaming the press for this maniac's abhorrent behavior.
The media circus is giving him exactly what he wants. Just ignore him!
The brainwashing in this one is strong.

Not all of us fall for pyrite. Ever seen pyrite on a gold mine? Looks real pretty but it’s just fake gold like those shoes and necklaces…. Worthless
@@paulrichards1921 😂
lock him up already....he ain't special he's a 🤡
You're the clown for thinking MSNBCs actually news!!!
If these proceedings have proven anything, it's that he's extremely special. Two-tiered justice is on full display. The Statue of Liberty is basically a postmodern ironic art installation at this point.
Diaper don; dares judge to put him in jail, the judge should say... Done. 30 days in county.
Dump thinks sitting in that cold courtroom sucks now, wait until he's doing it in an orange jumper and shackles, like everyone else would be.
Please don’t insult clowns by comparing them to Trump.
Your daughter said the same thing about you when I was slipping her the hard salami
He should be Remanded to the custody of the United States Marshall's Service. LOCK HIM UP ! ! !
For talking ?
For defying a LEGAL gag order 😅😅@@MochaMan.
He’s going to be remanded back to the White House very soon.😂
@@davidwelsh8026 in your dreams
@@davidwelsh8026 NOT GONNA HAPPPEN .... ONLY IN THE ( BIG HOUSE VERY SOON ) !!!😁😄🤣🤣🤣
Fines should be 100 times what they are now! Slapping his wrist with $1000 fines are a joke…
$1000 is the most the law allows for that. Lock him up.
He needs to be held accountable. He also needs the judge to lock him up. Obviously, he is daring the judge. After the trial, he is going to be hit with days for testing the system.. really, my money is on the system.
Trump should be in jail with no Adderall, no hairspray and no bronzer.
Chicken-Game Don
According to the ‘Supreme Court’, they would need to arrange a lenghty theoretical discussion of the legal implications of removing Trump’s hairspray and bronzer… and delay their decision about 7 months.
🤣😂
And no phone
No diapers too.
Huge kudos to Katie Phang…..so intelligent, so clear thinking, so clear speaking, so intellectually grounded 👏👏👍👍🥰
I really appreciate her work and how she articulates the information and analyses of what she covers. That being said, did you catch at 1:31, that she slips and says 'prostitution' instead of 'prosecution'?
Katie Phangs ability to articulate lies and make them sound like truths can even put Gavin Newsome to shame.
*_What is disruptive is the DEFENDANT entering and exiting court with diatribes of lies and non-related complaints, spending entire nights degrading and attacking the very people he was barred from discussing! ANY OF US would have been in jail the second time we blinked wrong!_*
Imagine having appointed Supreme court justices, having appointed the judge on one of your own cases, being a so called billionaire, with multi million dollar lawyers, and getting on tv every day trying to convince people that you are a victim of the bottom tier of a 2 tier justice system, but worse imagine being one of his supporters, and actually believing it.🤦🏽♂️
Well remember, most of his supporters are truck drivers, wrench turners and other unskilled laborers with no education. They are easily duped.
Trump should have been put in jail long ago! These fines are ridiculous!
Jackie, You should be put in jail for prostituting yourself with a shetland pony...Thats animal abuse
Due process.
Merrick Garland should have arrested him after Mar-a-Lago but he too spineless.
Trump should have done time thirty years ago, for tax evasion.
We put you in jail first then him
That security is a waste of money for the American taxpayers who can agree
Joe has denied RFK jr protection. Weird isn't it?
@@MochaMan. no its not weird cultist
@@MochaMan. Rfk is really a republican.
For what? So Trump minions can go disrupt the case like they did j/6? they know better then to do that again.
@@MochaMan.presidential candidates don’t get security detail. If he wants security he can pay for it himself.
He loves the sound of his own voice. We the people are sick of it.
Hold him accountable and protect the rest of America
Cowardice doesn't work with Trump. Fines will fail. Only jail will shut him up.
For as long as he's in jail only. The Orange demon is incapable of learning a darn thing.
He is to stupid to shut his piehold
what will shut you up? your obviously on the lower end of the IQ chart,
He is a CITIZEN like the rest of yous.LOCK HIM UP .
A president can never go to prison he has 30 secret service with him your dumb
Just like the classified docs case, he continues to get warnings but chooses to ignore them.
New York was his home for decades. They KNOW HIM
Until this country treats everyone with the same system of justice and consequences, we are doomed.
Laughs in Hunter Biden.
well that has never happened in 240 years and yet here we still are so...
@@MochaMan.
Hunter, like Trump is rich. He got charged, and he is still free.
Of course Hunter only committed a few minor crimes compared to Trump.
If we are laughing here though. Never seen a an african american support a white racist so vehemently though. Makes me laugh. That's some good irony
True. This case is about as merit-less as they get.
First they don't talk about the crime Trump commited, they just want us to take their word for it.

He did for his own nothing to do with Trump

@@icemanzwtry again 😅😅😅
Treat him like every other criminal defendant. Shut him up or put him in jail.
A judge almost put me in jail for wearing shorts to court. It took my lawyer begging him not to
Running for a political office is a privilege and not a right. If Trump had his life in proper order he'd probably fare better. Currently Trump is not fit to run for a political office.
Most people understood that prior to 2016.
Or get a job in the mall😅
currently. he has NEVER been fit to do much of anything as evidenced in all of his past failures. oh.... wait he is good at scamming the gullible.
Running for office is an act of political speech protected by the First Amendment. If you meet the legal qualifications of the office for which you are running, and if you comply with the rules of the electoral process, you indeed have a right to run for office.
Just look at his competition tho (Joe's an utter potato)
...... And this is why the criminal justice system in the US now is an absolute joke!
Trump is the joke that's not funny
Great, keep undermining the process. Real helpful.

It's funny because he does wear heels.
@@chrisward4576
This comment is a perfect example of how humans struggle to perceive the world of such a population. Despite clear polling saying that he is down, and more that will stop supporting him if charged, this individual still thinks Trump would receive more votes for being jailed.
Showing how, though a good number have evolved to our larger society, we still have many primitives.
Lock him up in solitary confinement
I don't think solitary has good enough ventilation.
@@R.Daneellmao
Give him 1 day jail for each violation. The indignity of being booked in jail even once might actually get him to shut up
To the contrary; Trump *wants* to be jailed so that he can play victim and fundraise off of it.
He needs a little jail time.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 WE THE PEOPLE 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As one of the attorneys said earlier, when you're between a rock and a hard place, just do what's right. In other words, it's time to put Trump in time out.
When will ENOUGH BE ENOUGH?!
This is nothing but a bunch of BULL!!!
It won't stop when he's in office either.
@@chrisward4576Trump will never be president again clown.
We’ll get him next time.
@@chrisward4576 He will never be in office again lol! He is as thick as mince, unfit for office and INSANE.
Lock him up!! Running for President is a privilege, not a right. He's a criminal.
Take away his invisible accordion and he will shut up.
Makes me crazy everytime he does that. Oh wait he always does it.
And he only knows how to play circus music. 🎪🪗
Taken back to his cell each night without having a camera to talk to. Revoke his conditional release at the other three trials because he has violated the conditions allowing him to go free as an indicted criminal. Allowing him to walk free is BS, a separate level of justice for him?
He's evil.
The brainwashing in this one is strong.
What is so hard about "Justice"? Like you said "anyone else would be incarcerated"!
This just got to be one of the most frustrating situations ever to be thrown into America's lap. Trump went on the campaign trail yesterday, within the first 30 seconds. I counted at least 10 lies that he's told about this trial. When is something going to be done about this? Criminal. When?
Put him in the same cell as Peter Navarro. He'll crack in an hour.
😂
The upcoming election will determine what kind of society we have. Are women second class citizens? Are women going to accept being treated the way they were treated way back in 1864? Our votes determine the result! 💙🇺🇸

Rip off the bandage. Stop worrying about what would happen if he was put in jail and start worrying about what WILL happen if he isn't.

Here's a novel idea; maybe the press shouldn't show up before after he leaves the courtroom and he would have nobody to whine to?
These Judges need to do their job if any Other does this , you would be jailed and trust they would keep the ball rolling. But for this Orange Crybaby y'all giving him every chance in the world.
He complains about not being able to say anything then proceeds to say everything.
Also, just a side question. If everyone just loooves Trump, why is he always complaining that EVERYONE is out to get him?
Good point!
