So at 11:00 a.m. ET, Trump posts on Truth Social calling Judge Merchan's courtroom a 'kangaroo court' and calling on Merchan to recuse himself. Trump also assails the gag order, (falsely) claiming that he cannot defend himself.

Trump can’t get his family members to go to court to support him and he can’t get activists and supporters to show up outside to protest.

Sad!

Being too scared to say the word is a cope

He looks like he’s aged 5 years in the past week.

Double bags under the eyes.

Sleep-shitting in court.

I love it.

During the break after his gag order hearing, Trump attacks the judge.

At the Trump trial today there were 3 or 4 Trump supporters. SAD!

Trump Family Members in Court today to Support Him:

Melania - NO
Junior - NO
Eric - NO
Ivanka - NO
Jared - NO
Tiffany - NO
Lara - NO
Barron - NO
Kim - NO

This is obviously a lie. We were there yesterday. There is a space to protest right across the street and we counted five Trump supporters total. Six if you count Andrew Giuliani wandering aimlessly looking for someone to interview him.

It is driving Trump absolutely insane that he has almost no supporters heeding his calls to protest at the court. He is just there by himself. No fans. No family. All alone.

If it’s crime enough for Michael Cohen to go to prison - it’s crime enough for Trump to go to prison.

Trump and Trumpism would not have been possible without all those who knew better but enabled him, coddled him, excused him, promoted him, or just looked the other way.

Prosecution hands up ten posts, from Truth Social and from campaign website; notes that the defendant attacked witness Michael Cohen in the hallway outside the courtroom yesterday, and reads from it, says they will file another OSC today seeking contempt.

Pennsylvania, today is your presidential primary.

There’s too much at stake to sit this one out.

Let’s bring it home: IWillVote.com.

Prosecution: 'Trump continues to violate the gag order.
Just yesterday, Trump violated the order again on camera. He did it right here in the hallway outside.'

Prosecution: Trump violated, TEN TIMES, the expanded gag order. 8 were on his Truth Social account and 2 were on his official campaign website.
