If you or I did that, I imagine the judge would find us in contempt of court and potentially have us tossed in jail for a day or two to cool down. I can fantasize that the judge in this case gives Trump a time-out until he agrees to behave (and return him to time-out each time he violates that agreement.)
If he did that, when Trump complained that he was a presidential candidate with campaign events to attend, the judge could point out that all Trump had to do was behave with decorum and he wouldn’t get tossed in jail (forcing him to miss those events.)

He is so heavily leveraged, and his businesses money losing, this could be the death blow.
Even if it does, the only deathblow that matters is the one that keeps him out of politics.
If he was completely out of politics, I couldn’t care less if he spent the next 100 years sitting on his gold toilet in his gaudy hotel room or guest-room-made-home in Florida.
I love both.
wish that inflatable baby trump was out in front of the courthouse where he couldn’t miss it.
Rather than kicking him out, I think the judge should make him sit in a corner, facing the wall.
I hope the judge comes up with lesser examples of people who committed contempt of court that resulted in jail time, and use those as sentencing guidelines to keep him cooling off in jail for a month or two.
Trump has never stopped complaining and defaming Carrol, even after losing the initial lawsuit for defamation.
Getting thrown out of court is red meat for the MAGA wolves, that’s all he has left, perhaps as a way to grift them of more donations.
He’s playing the victim so his rubes sympathize and or feel sorry for him. “Vote for me! It’s sooo unfair. They hate me!” “… send money!”
oh, that would kill him. the diapers.
Give him a mask like that guy who jumped the judge recently had.
The whole thing is somewhat ironic since Trump wanted to make it easier to legally accuse people of libel and slander.
I was thinking ball gag, spit hood and restraint chair.
Can someone be too poor to run for president? I’m sure it’s in the constitution somewhere.
Politics? Yes… but he’ll never shut up. He’s the vengeful type. And his mindless MAGA horde would hang on every syllable and interpret each mealy mouth utterance as some command for action. I’m still pulling for a massive brain embolism and that right soon.
Every denial is an admission; every accusation, a confession.
I just wish we could skip right to where a massive stroke turns TFG into a rotting vegetable.
