  1. We know that Donny's calls like "I'm coming for you" have meant threats against people involved and election workers at minimum wages, and other Republicans like the Secretary of State in Georgia as well as all his current judges and attorneys prosecuting have all gotten death threats since the A😮ge of Donny! Now, that is beyond acceptable, and it always follows Donny's remarks on the media! If I had to be a witness, after hearing what others have gone through, ARE YOU KIDDING? ? I am a coward plus I WOULD NOT WANT MY FAMILY TO PAY like Pelosi's husband did! YOU?
    Donny is a monster and a fascist. We don't play well with monsters! Lock him up!

  2. I love that trump is ordered to shut him up! His lies has proven to be deadly😢

  3. What in the world is going on? Why isint Trump in jail? Jesus this country is so racist that they won’t send their own to jail no matter what Trump has done.

  4. Send Orange stain to Russia.

  5. I wish Trump would practice his 5 th Amendment more often.

  6. Trump should have been in jail 2 years ago

  7. Just another attempt to stop free speech.
    I want to hear what Trump has to say.

  8. This stable genius should know that posting and saying inflammatory things aren't helping his case.

  9. I wished the media would stop nudging and second-guessing the prosecution ! We only need about 1% of the reporters we have today! They should move their fathful talents to something more impactful, like inlisting in the military as an EM or officers candidate school where they can hone their duty to become a more complete representation of media. A lot are soft.

  10. I like former presidents that do not suffer from narcissistic personality disorder. "People with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) may seem self-centered or so focused on their own importance that they've lost touch with reality. They may also not appear to care about others and rely on manipulation to get what they want."

  11. Lock Trump and his corrupt buddies up immediately!☆

  12. CHUMP LAWYERS DEFEND A DOMESTIC TERRORIST

    CHUMP20TOLIFE 🇺🇸🇺🇸

    🇺🇸 AMERICA IS HOLDING TERRORISTS ACCOUNTABLE AGAIN 🇺🇲

  13. Trump invited
    He incited
    They rioted
    Then Trump denied it
    Even though he'd contrived it
    Now he is finally indicted
    And his wrongs shall be righted!

  14. Trump castrated Lester Hoax

  15. Impeach Joe Biden for Bribery. Enriching his family with millions from fake shell companies, RBMBs and overseas bank accounts. These MF in the liberal medoa are covering up for Joe Biden !!!!

  16. ABSOLUTELY ANY OTHER DEFENDANT WOULD BE REMANDED TO JAIL FOR THE SAME THREATS! Equal justice yeah right! He isn't even paying his own legal bills…..

  17. Trump has every right to speak, just like any other free Americans exercising their Constitutional rights of Free Speech and.. the pursuit of happiness. ✊🇺🇸🗽

  18. The judge should define a narrow lane what he can talk about regarding the case, and if he violates the borders of that lane, full censorship. I give Trump about, oh, maybe 6 hours before he violates that order.

  19. Everytime you hear the name "Trump" = replace it with "Hitler" and you'll see how his conduct meshes with that psycho

  20. just issue a total gag order because he can't shut his mouth and when he violates it throw him in jail until the trial

  21. Freedom of speech is not over or take advantage of freedom of speech, because your speech had done so many bad for who stupidly listened to you now in the jail and you still outside still Big Lie and asking for money from poor people for your legal fees so much funny 😂😂😂

  22. well what could one say innocent until proven guilty seems some in the media and the followers have an opinion of guilt, good to see some one eyed people can.t see past their own bias, Trump is at this point innocent before law until he is either found guilt or exonerated otherwise let the bias judge's do what they do best

  23. 🇺🇸🇺🇸Trump🇺🇸🇺🇸

  24. Trump's lawyer: "Yeah, our client is a raging autocratic loudmouth who cannot stop talking and intimidating witnesses and investigators".

  25. Obviously the world knows more than most Americans:
    https://youtu.be/iIOSTGskYX8.
    The TRUTH hurts, doesn't it.

  26. This man doesn't need a protective order, he needs a muzzle!

  27. Firing back ? well i guess it's better than the usual trump firing them haha

  28. The sky is blue – any human
    That's only your opinion – Republicans

    Lava is hot – any human
    There's such a thing a cold lava – Republicans

    Liquid water is wet – any human
    No, it's dry as the desert – Republicans

    When people are this mentally ill, they need to be placed in a mental institution because they are clearly a threat to every mentally healthy person.

  29. This man is mental and delusional. Hes not fit for president

  30. Team Trump

    Morons Assemble

  31. #CRIMINAL45 is incapable of being in the presence of‘sensitive’ documents without trying to sell their contents or otherwise use to his benefit no matter the cost.

  32. Trump needs to be in jail without bail until the trial!

  33. An innocent man would want to get court as soon as possible and prove their innocence.

  34. Yelling "fire" in a crowded theater is not free speech. Good luck Mr. Trump. I suggest you carefully reread Brandenburg v. Ohio 395 U.S. 444 and review what has actually happened when you open your mouth.

  35. Trump is worried he's being violated. Hasn't he been doing to that people all his life. He comes from planet I'mtheonlyonethatmatters.

  36. An Insurrection Violates Americans Constitutional Rights!

  37. I love how they pronounce words he misspelled in his tantrums lol

  38. Us Trump fans trust the msm.
