A gag order will not stop him from spewing his hate and confusion. He would have to be put in jail, which his base would eat up. And even then, that would not stop him or his legal team from arguing in bad faith at every turn.

It’s important to request the gag order, but don’t expect anything to come of it.

We only got Al Capone due to tax evasion, and even Trump gets around that! The fucking mafia committing crimes has to worry about the IRS more than dipshit orange fuck Trump.

Again, can we call ourselves a democracy when one of the "only" choices is a convicted felon who tried to coup the government? Because there's a word for when the "the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens" run the joint, it's Kakistocracy.
