Donald Trump has launched a fresh tirade on both the judge and his chief court clerk in his New York civil fraud trial just hours after a gag order banning him from criticising court personnel was paused.

Judge Arthur Engoron had issued the gag order in the case after the former president made a series of false and disparaging remarks about his chief clerk of court Allison Greenfield both to reporters outside the courtroom and on his Truth Social account.

Mr Trump had already violated the gag order twice and incurred $15,000 in fines as a result.

    The reason Trump got so fucked in this trial was because his lawyers neglected to ask for a jury trial like he usually does, now he’s actually bound by a judge who understands the law rather than jurors he can emotionally manipulate.

    It seems like Trump is trying to build a case in the court of public opinion, but not a legally valid one, that this is just persecution because of personal and political reasons. And he’s going to do it by making the judge hate him, in hopes that he can overturn his fuck up. I just don’t think that," the judge treated me unfairly because I insulted his staff" is a very compelling argument.

    Frankly, if he was anyone else he would probably be thrown in prison for contempt of court by now.

      I think he did it on purpose, because he knew he’d loose, and now he gets a media spectacle.

                Yeah, that works because of the ‘z’ I would say.

                I’m having trouble finding another word that rhymes but still uses an ‘s’ and not a ‘z’.

                I guess there’s ‘choose,’ but visually it looks closer to ‘loose’. Which would just confuse the people we’re trying to give clarity to.

                  This is why English used to have the f shaped s which let the reader know how it was supposed to be pronounced.

                  Edit: also muse, fuse, cues, skews English is just fuckin weird
