He'll just keep doing it. Lock him up.

[prisonersforprofit]

joy got it right, it's a "mob" message, a vailed threat.

[karenflynn]

WHY isn't he in jail for contempt?

[wearynottired]

How far are they really willing to allow themselves to slide down the rabbit hole with him? I mean, my daddy used to say, try it. My mom used to say, try Me! Lock him up for the country’s sake. Pretend that all of this matters. Good gosh!

[GretchenDawntreader]

it's time to stop giving Trump one more chance. He's up to his 10th or so second chance. I think if you want do do an escalation of fine, he's already escalated himself into a cell. Stop treating him like he's above the law. All this is doing is teaching him he can do whatever he wants.

He's going to keep doing this and everything else to threaten people and to make the trial go on as long as possible. When you step back and look, you will see that what he is actually doing is putting on a show. In the end, it's all about getting donations from his supporters.

I used to be a proponent of put him in jail, but not anymore. After listening to the experts about what that would mean the present strategy of just putting up with him and his mouth makes more sense. He WANTS to be sent to jail and we all know that it frustrates Donald when he doesn't get his way, so why give him what he wants? He just may say something publicly that strengthens the case against him. All of this is of his own making.

[dougwendel]

Anyone else would already be locked up for contempt.

[pmjbiyy]

Donald Trump needs to spend a few weeks in jail to adjust his cocky attitude

[rustyross]

If it were you and I, we would have been put in jail for contempt way before this.

[williamgreer]

Given 30 days now for each violation. That should shut him up! At the end of trial regardless if he wins or loses.

[entrance]

Jail time until he shuts his mouth about the trial.

[busabrye]

And nothing will happen to him at all, this is insanity

[jeaniemull]

When does he pay for his crimes? Why does everyone let him slide?

[sanderlinewilliams]

All them judges seem weak, they keep giving him one more chanced...

[Tigerwarhawk]

"No one is above the law." Yeah right.

[guyinredshirt]

Why are they having hearings on contempt of court? just put him in jail for 24 hours every time he crosses the line.

[ramiroastrain]

If he’s not punished, a mockery will be made of our justice system

[StagvanHeuten]

It’s all irrelevant-nobody ever does anything.

[csnide]

Merchan needs to grow some balls and JAIL THAT CRIMINAL.
