trump needs to be sequestered in a locked room where he can watch the trial on closed circuit TV for violating the gag order. Stop with those piss ant fines, they are an insult to those people he is putting in harm's way with his demented rants!!!

[irineovelasquez]

They should make it a million for every time he does it. Hopefully he goes to jail, throw away the key.

[edpetrikk]

I wonder what the court will do when Trump stiffs them on paying the fine…

[ClarenceObermuller]

Since when it becomes a crime to talk about being abused in the American democratic society.

[Wandjina]

Is this a felony? Which would put him in breach of pretrial release conditions in his other criminal cases?

[latheman]

He gets fined but everyone for the persecution can talk all they want

President Trump says his highest priority is America and the American people. The fact that this idea has been met with shock is itself shocking; if America's success is not the president's goal, what is?

[oscargluja]

Not just a great President but also a real Hero.

Donald J Trump is grade a "fill in blank". The monetary penalties will do nothing to shut Trump's big orange mouth. It is more effective to place him in jail and to take away his cell phone(s). That will silence him and scare the holy poop out of him (re. His biggest fear is of going to jail). 😂😂😂

[thomasd]

Big freaking deal. He spent more than that at McDonald's Last Week.!!. These ... judges let this guy off Scott free every single time. SMH 😡😡😡

[greghedrick]

It's time the people put a stop to all this Leave the man alone,

[trebor]

Hopefully next is a night or two in jail. And then start tripling it.

[watsonm]

Seriously you people in here are happy because he got fined for absolutely nothing. Thats what's wrong with this country is people like you.

[rifk]

I sure hope we can re-elect Trump and then send these traitors to prison.
