Please do it!
Hell to the yeah.
DO IT.
So the argument is they did take it down from Truth Social, but it remained on the campaign website? I mean, I GUESS that's plausible deniability... but still feels intentional.
Folks, it’s not like Trump can afford to pay lackeys or webmasters to do things. Stuff like this is just gonna slip through the cracks. He doesn’t have millions in campaign contributions pouring in from dumb fuck sycophants as a direct result of these charges!

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The judge presiding over Donald Trump’s $250 million civil fraud trial in New York raised the possibility on Friday of putting the former president in prison after Trump failed to comply with a partial gag order requiring him to remove a post trashing the judge's law clerk on social media.
Judge Arthur Engoron said in court on Friday morning that Trump had posted on his social media account "an untrue and disparaging post about my clerk" and that he spoke to the former president about the matter.
He continued, "Despite this order, last night I learned the offending post was never removed from a website.
Engoron said the post remained on Trump's 2024 campaign website for 17 days and was removed late Thursday night after the court emailed him.
In response, Trump's defense attorney, Chris Kise said, "Based on my understanding this was truly inadvertent."
"Truth Social was taken down and Trump never made any more comments about court staff, but it appears no one took it down on the campaign website.
The original article contains 267 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 37%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
JUST DO IT
Effectively, still no consequences.
This turd has been threatened with jail too much. Neither he nor his sycophants believe it. Call their bluff!
