Trump's criticism often comes at a cost for his targets. Merchan, Engoron and the judge presiding over his federal election interference case in Washington, D.C., Tanya Chutkan, have all recieved threats following Trump's complaints.

[…]

While he didn't initially issue an order at the start of the case, the judge said he was acting now “given the nature and impact of the statements made against this Court and a family member” as well as district attorneys and witnesses, adding that “given that the eve of trial is upon us, it is without question that the imminency of the risk of harm is now paramount.”

[…]

"Indeed, his statements were threatening, inflammatory" and "denigrating," and the "consequences of those statements included not only fear on the part of the individual targeted, but also the assignment of increased security resources to investigate threats and protect the individuals and family members thereof," the judge wrote.

That this is being reported on and treated as somewhat rational is the slow march into fascism that will destroy us.

How could the Germans let Hitler take power ?!

Just like that, apathy and propaganda.

Like Tolkien said, evil triumphs when good men do nothing.

Germany at least gave Hitler a brief time out in luxury prison after his putsch, we cannot even do that much.
