Donald Trump has launched a fresh tirade on both the judge and his chief court clerk in his New York civil fraud trial just hours after a gag order banning him from criticising court personnel was paused.
Judge Arthur Engoron had issued the gag order in the case after the former president made a series of false and disparaging remarks about his chief clerk of court Allison Greenfield both to reporters outside the courtroom and on his Truth Social account.
Mr Trump had already violated the gag order twice and incurred $15,000 in fines as a result.
The point is everyone should be treated equally. It should not matter for this, if someone is a beggar, fraud or a former president (or in this case all of it). And this is not just a US thing. It’s an ethics thing. It should be like that eveywhere.
everyone should not be treated equally.
People entrusted to service the public good, either as police, or municiple/state/government officials, (and other people in positions of power over others, such as doctors/etc, but thats another topic) are people that are given elevated positions, and such should be held to a higher standard for violating the trust and authority they’ve been entrusted with, and should face far more severe punishments than a kid getting caught with weed in his pocket.
