this should be a clear violation of the gag order. but it wont be. theyll be some hand waving and he wont be held to account. and no, a monetary fine is not justice.
While Trump deserves our ire and some jail time, I'm more concerned with what his popularity says about our society.
He's a gift in some ways: he's shown the true colors of our neighbors to us. If he makes it to the oval office again, so much would have to have gone wrong in the belt-and-suspenders approach being used right now.
I trust that there's an end game to disqualifying him because that's the only way we can buy time while figuring out how to address the ugly xenophobic truth about the future in the US.
I STRONGLY recommend reading Susan Faludi's "stiffed" if you want a play book on where we're headed (spoiler: it's the 90s again, but worse because one of the lost boys could be POTUS again)

"I wasn't calling for violence when one of my supporters did violence to these people. I said citizen arrest. They misinterpreted when they thought I wanted violence. The knock-on effect of chilling any future prosecutions also isn't what I wanted."
Please just vote this buffoon out. I beg of you as a European. Please vote him out and make him irrelevant in every way possible. Just stop this madness.
Hahaha, wow that's great news. It was always apparent he didn't understand what was happening around him, but he is really firing both barrels into his own feet here.
