The Malignant Loser's playbook when in a legal bind is to attack the witnesses, the prosecution and the judge, not as a legal maneuver but as a political shout out to his increasingly violent cult, using his failing social media platform. However, the judge presiding in his massive business fraud case brought against him by the State of New York noticed his attack on the court's clerk, and pulled the Malignant Loser up short:
"Judge Arthur Engoron rebuked Donald Trump after the former president attacked his clerk in a social media post on Tuesday and forbade the parties from making any future comments about his staff.
'This morning one of the defendants posted on (a) social media account a disparaging untrue and personally identifying post about a member of my staff. Although I have since ordered the post deleted and apparently it was, it was also emailed out to millions of other recipients,' the judge said in court.
'Personal attacks of any member of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I will not tolerate them,' the judge said.
Trump looked straight ahead at the judge as he issued the order.
The judge then said all parties must not speak publicly about any members of the court staff.
'Consider this statement an order forbidding all parties from posting, emailing or speaking publicly about any members of my staff,' Engoron said. 'Failure to abide by this … will result in serious sanctions.'” (our emphasis)
Since the Malignant Loser believes he's above the law, he'll likely test Judge Engoron's ruling, his legal counsel's advice notwithstanding. We are confident that the judge will impose a "serious sanction" on the lawless demagogue as a result.
