Donald Trump’s supporters unleashed a wave of death threats and antisemitic and homophobic messages to the judge overseeing his fraud trial, as well as his chief clerk, according to a state court filing this week.

A filing to support New York Justice Arthur Engoron’s opposition to a freeze on a gag order in the case includes a statement from the court’s top security official, who has collected “hundreds of threats, disparaging and harassing comments and antisemitic messages” that followed the former president’s harassment.

Federal prosecutors – who are seeking a separate gag order – shared those threats with the federal appeals court judges who will decide whether Mr Trump should be gagged in his election interference case.

But on Friday, the former president’s attorneys dismissed those threats as “irrelevant”.

I would vote for any female that met him on a debate stage and dropped references to 1) his mushroom dick 2) his tiny hands and 3) the fact that he had to pay hookers to touch his mushroom dick and keep quiet about it.

He would call her any sort of horrible names names on stage and her comeback would be 'don't you pay $200,000 extra for that?'

The meltdown would be glorious.

An even BETTER comeback! 'Does your wife charge you extra for that sort of thing? Or was that what was renegotiated in the last prenup?'
