Must be nice to be able to have a tantrum in court, yell at the judge, and then just be able to walk out.
I encourage everyone to try it sometime.

Do fries come with that Contempt?
Freedom to be in jail fries.
*jail depends on tax bracket
Terms and conditions: Offer valid only for white or orange. Participant must be a republican or identify themselves as a republican. Offer not valid for women, children, and people of color other than orange, and poor. Don’t be poor.
He might be one of half a dozen people who could get away with that in a US federal court.
I wonder if Elon could get away with it.
Florida man tackled by bailiff?
Justice Engoron, in a plea to Trump's attorney, Chris Kise, implored, “Mr. Kise, please control your client.” However, the attempt to rein in Trump proved futile as he continued his tirade, even bringing up the prosecutor's alleged political motives, including what he called her "failed" run for Governor.
Should have charged him with contempt.
Disobeyed Judges orders so hes gonna be held in contempt right? Were not going to keep reinforcing to this child that he doesn't get any consequences right? . . . right? The US Justice system is doing this to itself, and every day it proves itself inadequate to contain this threat.
I agree that they're doing it to themselves, but it's not that it's inadequate. It's that they aren't treating him like a mob boss. They are presuming he has a shred of human decency and isn't a psychopathic narcissist ready to burn it all down out of pettiness and spite.
They've prosecuted mob bosses before, so they simply need to change their paradigm.
No, they're treating him like the mob boss of a mob of millions of armed people ready to kill for him because that's what he is.
So the threat of political violence has tangible results on the rules of justice? You know that only encourages more political violence right? It's "Might makes right" with like one extra step. No one willing to die for Trump is going to care if he goes to jail now or next year they will do what they will do. But changing procedure because of them means their threats are working, which means the US Justice System, is not.
He should have been arrested, cuffed, and hauled off to be locked up like anyone else.
Instead everyone will continue to coddle him, emboldening his jackass followers as if this course is somehow favorable to consequences.
Why is this a thing?? I don't get it. It's so stupid. Anybody else would get their ass handed back to them but he's the exception for some reason I can't fathom. Like, even if he has a lot of followers, so what?
In this case, to give absolutely zero room for mistrial complaints that the judge was biased against him.
And guess what? He has zero room for complaints. The judge has handled this pretty much perfectly.
Trump is such a pussy. Yes, I will judge anyone who still supports this weak, sad, mentally deranged man. People keep throwing around accusations of this and that is what is wrong with America, well, the fact that anyone even allows this traitor or anyone like him the time of day, is what is wrong with America.
Edit: I now realize the irony of the fact that it is important to know what is going on in the world, and to do that, we have to hear about all this stuff. Also, my comment is in no way directed at OP. Realizing how this may have come out towards OP made me realize the irony as well.
What really bothers me is if his supporters even hear of this at all it will be a wish fulfillment fantasy about telling your boss to go to hell when you rage quit your job (at an emotional level) and they will imagine Trump cooly dropping burn after burn on the judge before mic dropping, leaving everyone thinking Trump (who they have attached their ego to) is the coolest guy ever and the judge is a loser.
That's what is really sad. That, and the fact that they get to vote.
You're good, homie, no offense taken at all.
Why is he not sitting in a cell for contempt of court?
The judge is setting a bad precedent that is going to be used every single time he tries to hold anyone else in contempt ever again.
I think this is a case of "I know you're going to appeal and say I was bias. They're going to look at how much I let you do and get away with and laugh in your face." I think she's playing the long game.
I'm not going to pretend that this is some grand strategy by Trump. He's an immature man-child and that's all there is to it.
But there most certainly is a strategy by his lawyers.
If their client somehow manages to make the judge "lose their cool" its fuel for an appeal/mistrial. So they really have no interest in ACTUALLY controlling his outbursts.
This title is hilarious compared to others I’ve seen. Makes it seem like shit was crazy. Like they’re trying to top the guy who superman’d over the bench last week. It wasn’t. He spoke and the judge let him. And the judge will make his decision soon so let’s see how the EXPLOSIVE UNHINGED ATTACKS work out for him.
Snowflake behavior ❄️👶
When you're famous, they just let you do it.
Did anyone expect something different? He is a big child that never learned the meaning of tbe word "No". He simply cannot accept that someome sets real limits to his doings, so they must be wrong.
Definitely the actions of an innocent man. Lmao he's such a loser, and sore one at that. Hopefully they bleed his criminal organization dry with the verdict
He stormed out because he shit himself. Again. And was stinking up the courtroom. Again. If you watch the video, you see him holding his butt and waddling.
You're gonna make me look it up myself?!
I would encourage you to just take my word for it, in this instance...
Call your Senators and Congressmen and tell them this shit is unacceptable. Call over and over until their aides are sick of hearing your voice. Even if you aren't in the same party and you didn't vote for them. Let every gov't employee know enough is enough.
I hope this is used as precedent by so many people to have tantrums in court and walk the fuck out. and that all of legal history looks back on this judge for causing this with his desire to let trump do whatever the fuck he wants without significant, meaningful repercussion.

lmfao and the attorney will probably never get paid. God what those meetings must be like…
Kise has already been paid to the tune of $3M.
No attorneys will work for Donald Trump without a huge retainer up front.
Good attorneys will not work for him at all.
I wish the judge had simply replied “would you like cheese with whine?” and then locked him for contempt of court.
Since when is the client allowed to deliver a closing statement anyways
careful now, drumpf. that hamburder heart might just do the world a favour...
He should have negotiated this like how he said he would’ve done to prevent the civil war.
Sounds like someone needed some Baby Shark and a snack. Poor kid.
