    I feel like they’re intentionally giving him a wide berth, so that when he inevitably violates the court-imposed restriction, the judge can turn around and say “look, I gave him as much consideration as I reasonably could, and he still violated the court’s orders, so I have no choice but to exercise punitive action”.

    I positively cannot wait for the inevitable violation and consequent punitive action.

      I positively cannot wait for the inevitable violation and consequent punitive action.

      Strange way of saying “and the courts doing exactly nothing about it.”

      No judge is going to be willing to endure the shitstorm that would be associated with putting him in jail until the trial, and Trump isn’t going to shut up until they do. So expect a lot of the legal equivalent of “I’m going to count to three…”

      And expect the results to be the same.

      You will be waiting indefinitely. When has he ever been punished for his antics? Why would that change now?
