I liked this one better. It lets one assume that it’s only a partial gag order because no full-sized gag could ever fully block his big mouth. > **[Federal judge issues partial gag order for Donald Trump in election fraud...](https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/10/16/donald-trump-federal-court-hearing-judge-gag-order-election-fraud-case/6611697457762/)** > > Former President Donald Trump was placed under a limited gag order Monday ahead of his federal election fraud trial as a result of inflammatory remarks he's made. ---
