Trump went gangster on Truth Social and waded neck-deep into hot water – 17 unfavourable verdicts
As Einstein once said ‘The definition of being a stable genius is breaking your bail conditions the day after they were set at your arraignment.’ or something like that. Looks like he was right.

Free speech is one thing, but this is over the line. As a prosecutor, I'd be sorely tempted to make a motion to revoke Trump's pre-trial bond & put him in custody. Let him explain it to the judge. pic.twitter.com/qEhiXtVFnu

Is anyone still on speaking terms with Donald Trump a good enough lawyer to explain to him that threatening public officials on Truth Social is a felony? pic.twitter.com/VpiO9lIFhS
