He just seems like the kind of guy who’s never been punched in the face but really needs to be.
I’d prefer shot with a bologna loaf out of a canon but yea agreed
I tried loading lunch meat into my canon but it developed a film.
This was such an intricately crafted joke that my brain almost couldn't handle it.
It's just too good!
I’m still waiting for someone to ask for an explanation and someone (possibly else) to provide one.
- Cannon - A big ass gun
- Canon - A camera brand
With those two pieces I'm sure it will click for you ;)

This is that joke you're so proud of, but then you tell people IRL about it and they just look at you and say "OK? Hah?" But you know in your gut it is perfect.
We see your perfection, and thank you for it.

so presidential when you cant control your own behavior.
conservatives really picking the best people.
They want the worst people. They love it. It makes them feel better about being such shitty people themselves.
For years they told us that Government would mess everything up.
And by god they're going to prove it!
Every accusation is a confession
So it’s cool if we fuck around in court? Contempt isn’t a thing anymore?
Federal judges (should) have a lot more decorum and patience. Actually all judges should have, but the US also popularized the mini dictators that dole out ridiculous punishments for "misbehaving".
People in court are not there because they bought tickets to the venue for their own enjoyment.
While I agree Trump should also have some decorum, he is effectively rich trailer trash. The judge treats him as such and in my book that makes the judge an icon.
The judge is above his petty nonsense but does take the time to make trump feel he is not in charge every time he steps out. And I think this is far worse for Trump's feelings than being stuck in a holding cell, that would just fuel his martyr syndrome.
Yeah, but when he is influencing the jury with his comments, that is different
There is always jury instructions, which can damage Trump wayyy more.
Also, if a jury knows he is guilty, have seen the footage of him immediately doing it again as he leaves the first trial, and then you see him making light of the victim and the trial.. I would expect them to be pissed off at the defendant even more.
He's rich and white so business as usual.
For rich people? No.
He's above the law. He knows it.

You want Trump to lose in court ASAP
I want Trump to lose against diabetes ASAP
We are not the same
I know it's a longshot, but I'm really hoping for rabies.
I hope for nothing contagious: his sycophants would deliberately infect themselves to be more like him and end up causing a rabies pandemic

While "former president" is a correct title, the media should really use "petulant man-child" instead. Far more accurate .

That's why he keeps doing it. They just threaten, no real consequences.
Isn't a lack of self control central to this case?
It's more that the judges will play by the rules so super hard that Trump can never appeal on the basis of unfair treatment. The consequence is really that the trials continue on as if he had never spoken, proving that his crying and hand waving have no real effect.

Don't just kick him out; give him a time-out in a holding cell!
time-of-his-life cell, when?
Aaaand that's why two of his lawyers withdrew only shortly before the trial one even just the day before. They realised how unhinged he is and that there was no way to stop him, so they left the sinking ship.
Please I hope he forfeits his right to be there lol
He wants to be kicked out. His antics are meant to force it.
This way he can go keep that martyred persecution complex working for him. Evangelicals love them a martyr,
That's why it's important for them to put him in a holding cell instead of letting him pontificate to the media on the courthouse steps.
Well, that and the whole the fucker incited an insurrection, and has promised to do it again,

Honestly I don't think Trump should be kicked out of court. I say let him ruin his case and insult the judge until he's found guilty for contempt of court as well.
He's already well past what would be considered contempt of court for literally any other living human being. They're giving him as much rope as is possible for two reasons, one being so that absolutely no one can argue a mistrial, and the second being that he continues to attempt to hang himself with every length of rope let out to him. May as well let him continue.

Mr. Trump has the right to be present here. That right can be forfeited, and it can be forfeited if he is disruptive...
Doesn't that make it a privilege?

'You just can't control yourself'
The judge apparently doesn't understand the difference between "can't" and "don't want to".
