Donald Trump won't let anyone keep his mouth shut. Even an order from a judge leaves him cold. He is launching a counterattack on his online platform.
New York – Donald Trump doesn’t let anyone dictate anything to him. He proves that again and again. Current example: He is now testing what the restricted speech ban in the upcoming hush money trial in New York is all about. Just a day after Judge Juan Merchan banned him from publicly commenting on those involved in the trial, Trump launched the next verbal attack on his online platform Truth Social.
This time his anger was directed at the judge himself. In Trump's eyes, he is seriously ill. And why? Because he suffers from an “acute case of Trump Derangement Syndrome”. Merchan had issued another “illegal, un-American, unconstitutional order” to take away his rights, Trump complained. However, this loses something in the translation, as Trump uses the beautiful spelling “unConstitutional” in the original.
Donald Trump also attacks the judge's daughter
But Trump was far from finished: With the “malicious gag order,” this judge was wrongly trying to deprive him of his rights under the First Amendment. And that when everyone in the state knows that “I have done nothing wrong!”
In the second section of his three-part diatribe, Trump also addressed Merchan's daughter, who allegedly published "a picture of me behind bars." The judge's daughter can share photos of her "dream" of "putting me in prison" with impunity, Trump said. Maybe the judge would hate him so much because his daughter was making money from her anti-Trump campaign? Then the judge decides against him and at the same time makes his daughter and the company she works for richer and richer. "How can that be?"
In the third part of his suada, Trump asked the judge to declare himself biased without delay. But if the “biased” judge continues to preside over this bogus “case,” it will be “another sad example of our country becoming a banana republic.” Then Trump took the opportunity to once again describe the hush money trial as a “witch hunt.”

Donald Trump's behavior is extraordinary
Did Trump violate the speech ban issued by Merchan? Probably not. Because the judge didn't explicitly mention himself. Nevertheless, Trump's behavior is remarkable. Lawyer Nick Akerman also sees it that way. The former Watergate prosecutor said in an interview with CNN that he had never seen anyone show as much “contempt and open hostility” toward the courts as
Trump
. “This is totally unusual, something like this just doesn’t happen.”
Akerman also gave the simple reason for this: because you are putting yourself in danger. “This is the judge who will sentence you. It's the judge who could send you to prison. So you don't do things like that." Trump, Akerman said, was the only person he had ever seen who had done something like that.
Trump, who wants to be re-elected to the White House for the Republicans in the US election in November, is accused in the hush money trial of, among other things, falsifying business documents. He has pleaded not guilty.
