Although sitting in a cell is my favored outcome for him for doing this, I would love it if the judge just barred him from using electronic devices. Can you imagine how pissed off he'd be?

Will that order include a dude following him around and slapping phones out of his hand? Because he is already not allowed to talk about the case and he just ignored it.

Did you ever see the old Disney cartoon, The Band Concert, where Donald Duck just keeps pulling flutes out of everywhere like up his sleeve and under his hat? You're making me think that's what Trump will do. Hide phones everywhere so he can constantly sneak onto TruthSocial. In his socks, in his underwear, under his MAGA cap...

That is literally what he does. The classified document case revealed that he rarely uses his own phone, he just ask whatever employee he is next to to borrow theirs.

Fine, let them know that if they do that and get found out, they'll get thrown in the slammer. That'll put the breaks on that one.

  1. Brakes.
  2. That's assuming he values human life above anything at all, much less his ability to whinge like a greasy zit with a suck hole.

The brakes, even.
