Trump went gangster on Truth Social and waded neck-deep into hot water – 17 unfavourable verdicts

That Truth Social post is real. A day after being in court, Trump is issuing threats. Don't treat this as normal or just his usual performance art. pic.twitter.com/vwXTsC5btP

Trump posts glaring threat on Truth Social. He’s deranged, unhinged, psychopathic, and dangerous. He must be taken into custody now and locked up until trial, like any other two-bit criminal. He’s not a king, he’s not even president. Enough of the special treatment. pic.twitter.com/uDfaxaNG8H

Pretty sure Judge Chutkan has already seen Trump's Truth Social threat, & I fully expect her to haul his orange heinie back into her court to give him one last warning. It will be even more humiliating than his arraignment as he realizes that this judge can & will clip his b*lls. pic.twitter.com/4tjDG8TXRq

We know Donald Trump. We know. We’ve known since day one. Intimidating anyone who tells the truth about you is how you operate. pic.twitter.com/jpDrheXfoB

It looks like Trump might actually be in the ‘find out’ phase of his story arc. Special Counsel Jack Smith has asked for Trump to be legally restrained in what he can say after his team is shown the prosecution evidence.
WOW!
After Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, "IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I'M COMING AFTER YOU!" Jack Smith filed a Motion for Protective Order.
Smith is claiming that the prosecution can not safely turn over all the requested discovery evidence until they know that Trump can't make… pic.twitter.com/UswXt8h4Oi

Judge Chutkan has given Trump until 5 pm on Monday to explain his comments to the court.

We look forward to learning what she thinks of this.
And now Trump attacks the judge. pic.twitter.com/zBbd1k6iln

There’s a certain irony to the possible repercussions.
Donald Trump might go to jail for the crimes he commits during his trial before he goes to jail for the crimes that led to the trial in the first place. pic.twitter.com/uEOdtcvRVl
