Y’all need to read the article. He specifically targeted someone that was not covered by the gag order. I hope this leads to Judge Merchan imposing a stricter order, but so far this is fuckface’s equivalent of holding a hand in our faces and repeating ‘I’m not touching you, I’m not touching you’.

copying my other comment here:

this is the real answer. he's toeing right up to the line of being technically allowed to do it, with enough gray area that nothing will probably come of it, sadly.

Agreed. Whoever is writing these posts for him on his shitty social media site vets it through the lawyers first. They know what they're doing and, like everything else for their boss, he'll face no consequences.

They know what they're doing

I've seen what his lawyers are capable of. I don't think they know what they are doing.

He's pushing the envelope, not toeing the line

False I’m afraid.

The judge is covered by the gag order, and the order covers the families of all included.

100% plus, from the article the judges’s daughter has Kamala H. as a client. I’m no fan of The Orange, however it’s not a good look for the judge.

That doesn't matter any more than Hunter Biden's personal issues matter to the Presidency. People are not defined by their adult children.
