    He is begging for jail. Judge Merchan needs to put his foot down.
  • Why is he being permitted to hold a press conference every day right outside the Courtroom?? NO ONE else would EVER be given that privilege. Make him go out on the steps, or the street.
  • @JakeLowe-di4zi
    Why are taxpayers still paying for this mobster’s security.
  • @Sandis2ndwind
    FINALLY someone said it "Because he IS an ex President" he should be held accountable and not be treated differently because he was an ex President. My opinion - If you're President - YOU should uphold the law, constitution, etc. above no other!!!
  • @sherrytelle
    If he is not held accountable it will be another nail in the democracy coffin.
  • Totally agree with Tim O'Brien throw this clown in jail he's trying to intimedate these jurors.. His sycophants like Jesse Watters and Clay Travis ought to have reprecussions on them as well..
  • @jockyoung4491
    He's not going to stop until you MAKE him stop. 12 year old brats are like that
  • @user-wt7iw9xw8i
    I agree that he should be treated harshly with respect to gag orders BECAUSE he was president. A president should know better.
  • I've always wondered how the Secret Service Agents feel about protecting such a despicable man?
  • @dwilkinson4947
    Trump should be treated like a dangerous crime boss, because he is. Former president should have nothing to do with it. Everybody has a day job.
  • @sherylallen2962
    He is not intimidated by fines he must be put in confinement!!! Or he will not stop!!!
  • @antrygis1
    The judge needs to stand up and say, "Bailiff's put this man in holding. He has broken the agreement he has made with this court and will not interfere with these proceedings any longer." And then put him behind glass where he can watch but not speak.. Come on judge. DO IT!!!
  • @letdmichael
    Trump is an embarrassment to our great country. Trump's rightful place is a jailcell not the Whitehouse.
  • @Thewitchesflame
    Any one of us would have been jailed MONTHS, even years ago. His base is dwindling, he is ramping up the threat. So WHAT if secret service has to sit outside a jail cell? Boohoo. Make this sorry excuse of a male specimen face the punishment we would have to face.
  • The only way to understand Donald Trump is through a Mob Boss lens. It's not complicated.
