Former President Donald Trump received a $5,000 fine on Friday for violating the gag order put in place by Judge Arthur Engoron to protect his staff and his courtroom’s proceedings.
$5000. What bullshit.

Unfortunately Trump’s best and only defense right now is that this is all a deep state witch hunt and he’s being treated unfairly by the justice system. The way to not let that defense gain any traction is to make it painfully obvious to any observer that they are handling Trump as a defendant with kid gloves.
That’s the problem right there: Trumpers aren’t “observing” any of this, they’re just absorbing what (little) the right-wing media are saying about all of this. And the right-wing media will say it’s a witch hunt regardless of what’s actually going on. Worrying about what the right-wing media are going to say about anything is a losing game.
