Not a Bad Day

It looks like Judge Arthur F. Engoron has  had enough of Donald Trump's bull sh%$ and has issued a gag order on Trump preventing him from threatening his staff.

Here's hoping that Trump blows his lid and ends up in a cell:

The New York judge presiding over Donald J. Trump’s civil fraud trial ordered the former president Tuesday not to attack or even comment on court staff after Mr. Trump posted a message to social media targeting the judge’s law clerk.

Mr. Trump went after the clerk, Allison Greenfield, shortly before noon on his Truth Social site. His post was a picture of Ms. Greenfield with Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democratic majority leader. Mr. Trump mocked Ms. Greenfield as “Schumer’s girlfriend” and said that the case against him should be dismissed.

………

After the break, the judge, Arthur F. Engoron, explained what had happened, though he did not name Ms. Greenfield or Mr. Trump, referring to the former president only as a defendant.

“Personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I will not tolerate them under any circumstances,” the judge said.

Justice Engoron said that his statement should be considered a “gag order” forbidding any posts, emails or public remarks about members of his staff. He added that serious sanctions would follow were he to be disobeyed. He did not elaborate, but experts said that if the former president violates the order, the judge could fine Mr. Trump as much as $1,000 — or even hold him in jail for up to 30 days, though the chances of that happening are slim.

You are harshing my mellow, dude.  I want jail.
