Trump will never see a real repercussion for his behavior.

Not sure that he did. AIUI, being held in contempt of court is not a criminal conviction.

In another thread, someone posted that Contempt of Court is actually a misdemeanor. So I’m wrong here.

It looks like his lower lip is swollen in that first pic. Did he fall asleep and face plant?

Right. I read in one of the many news blurts on this yesterday (to paraphrase), “The gag order prevents him from making such statements”. Nope, it does not. Yes, the gag order _is intended_ to prevent him from making such statements. All he’s learned now is it costs him chump change. That’s not going to slow his diatribes a whit. What will is 30 days in lockup without access to social media.

Looks like he’s holding his breath. So either it’s a new form of temper tantrum, or maybe even _he_ can’t stand the smell of his farts.

“I don’t fart. That’s fake news. But if I did they would be the most tremendous farts anyone’s ever seen. Big strong men would be coming up to me with tears in their eyes, saying, sir, we’ve never seen another president fart the way you can.”

How can you even tell when he’s farting, since he always stinks anyway and he’s constantly talking out of his ass?

I do wonder how long it took him to perfect a suitably aggressive signature. You just know he deliberately set out to make it TOUGH MANLY POWERFUL!
