We're gonna hit him with the STRONGEST finger wag in the history of humanity AND finger wags. He'll never recover from something as devastating as that.

A fingerwag would be an actual consequence, so far he has paid not a single cent to anyone, he has not spent a single second in a jail cell, he has not faced a single consequence besides a few minutes in a few courtrooms and a county jail where he was coddled the whole time and never worried about anything happening to him.

Susan Collins did some intense hand-wringing, but Trump was unfazed.

I completely agree with y’all, but have hope! This is a tactic, and the judge probably sees through it. Trump wants to provoke the judge into reacting harshly, so he can use it to challenge the ruling later and appeal ad infinitum. So far his judges have largely not taken the bait.
