The problem is that this is a strategy, and it might work. The judge is showing signs of exasperation. The defense is laying the grounds for an appeal based on judicial bias. Viewed in that light, each time the judge interjects out of annoyance or exasperation is citable evidence. It’s funny, but it is also rather dangerous.
The judge needs to calmly and patiently explain to Trump that he will be jailed for contempt if he doesn’t follow the rules and act in good faith, and then dispassionately follow through with that consequence.
Don’t threaten him, don’t cajole his lawyers to constrain him, don’t complain about his behavior. Just give him a time-out, like the petulant toddler he is, until he gets it through his skull that his bullshit won’t be tolerated.
Once he comes back, if he won’t agree to behave or if he does promise to behave and then breaks that promise, simply immediately put him back in the cell for another round.
Trump needs to see the inside of a holding cell for a while in order to act right.
As much as I’d love to see it, jailing him for contempt would play right into their plan. He wouldn’t see 24hr of cell time before his fanatic base would be whipped into violence, painted as political persecution of the GOP (defacto) nominee
It’s all paper thin excuses to anyone with critical thinking, but we know it’d be a successful ploy.
What the fuck is the national guard for then? It’s the correct and legal punishment, and it’s a matter of national security. These concepts are not conflicting.

They already do violence who cares. Every mass shooting is almost always a Trump supporter.

I’m prepared to defend myself, my family and my home. Ever fought a bully? They fucking cave with the quickness.
One silly removed got shot through the neck and they scrambled out of that part of the Capitol.
I’m not brave, but if they think I’m harmless, they are free to test that assumption.
Get fucked Babbitt
Fuck em. They already sent their best on Jan 6. I’m not impressed. The National Guard can steamroll them and the cops if the cops turn traitor.
It doesn’t even need to be 24 hours. I suspect giving him even a 1-hour time-out would be plenty.
I couldn’t care less what The Base thinks of it.
That’s a luxury only afforded to spectators.
Better be really afraid of them and be extra nice then. They will hate that and your party will win.
It’s not terrible for the crazies to show us where they be.
The thing is, no one is showing up for his side to protest. They didn’t in Miami either.
Let them do their violence, it’ll end like Ft. Sumpter the first time around.
