The latest indictment of Donald Trump – his third so far – is moving expeditiously through the process of coming to trial. Needless to say, this is triggering severe anxiety for Trump who knows that he is guilty and is terrified of having to face the consequences of his criminal acts.

Facing this unprecedented legal peril, Trump has resorted to his standard mode of response: Unhinged outrage and hostility directed at his perceived persecutors. Just like his reactions to his previous indictments, Trump is lashing out hysterically at everyone involved, including the lawyers, the judges, and the Justice Department, who are all just doing their jobs. And it is having a profound impact on his emotional stability, or lack thereof…
SEE THIS: UPDATE on Donald Trump’s Deteriorating Mental State
On Friday morning Judge Tanya Chutkan held a hearing in order to determine the terms of a proposed protective order regarding the handling of evidence that he receives from special counsel Jack Smith during discovery. Chutkan ruled mostly in favor of the terms requested by Trump’s attorney, only prohibiting the use of certain sensitive information, such as Grand Jury testimony. However, Judge Chutkan went a bit farther to preserve the integrity and fairness of the trial. According to Politico…
“U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan warned Donald Trump and his attorney Friday that repeated ‘inflammatory’ statements about his latest criminal prosecution would force her to speed his trial on charges related to his bid to subvert the 2020 election.
“‘I caution you and your client to take special care in your public statements about this case,’ Chutkan told Trump lawyer John Lauro during a hearing. ‘I will take whatever measures are necessary to safeguard the integrity of these proceedings.'”
In other words, if Trump insists on making the sort of incendiary remarks for which he is infamous, it could result in the trial date being moved forward in order to prevent him from causing further harm and from tainting the jury pool. Trump has already made it clear that he is opposed to the January 2, 2024, trial date that the special counsel has proposed. Making it earlier would only compound his anger and fear. Except when he he’s whining that it wasn’t early enough. The judge went on to say that…
“‘The fact that he’s running apolitical campaign has to yield to the orderly administration of justice,’ Chutkan said. ‘If that means he can’t say exactly what he wants to say about witnesses in this case, that’s how it has to be.’
“‘Even arguably ambiguous statements from parties or their counsel, if they can be reasonably interpreted to intimidate witnesses or to prejudice potential jurors, can threaten the process,’ Chutkan added later.”
Judge Chutkan is making it clear that she will not tolerate the sort of disruptive and childish behavior that Trump exhibits in his social media rants and at his cult rallies. If he fails to comply with these instructions, there will be repercussion that he will surely regret. She even ordered that “Trump would be required to review [sensitive] information without any electronic devices” to prevent him from improperly making copies.
The problem for Trump is that he has never shown the discipline or maturity to be able to curtail his worst impulses. And the likelihood that he will violate Chutkan’s instructions is inevitable. He believes that he is almighty and infallible.
It’s the same self-delusion that got him into this trouble in the first place by refusing to accept that he lost the election, and then stealing classified materials and hoarding them at his Mar-a-Lago hotel/home. And he regards any criticism of him as tantamount to treason. Under the circumstance, Chutkan may have been to lenient.

UPDATE I: Over 24 hours after Judge Chutkan’s admonition, Trump has not posted a single comment maligning Jack Smith or his case against Trump’s election lies and attempted coup. Has he been scared into silence? Don’t bet on it. His manic compulsions are strong and may just be temporarily stunned.
UPDATE II: As expected, Trump has resumed his attacks on Judge Chutkan, in violation of court orders to refrain from “inflammatory statements.”

But this time he has run into a judge he can’t intimidate and with Jack Smith, Trump has run into a brick wall; Jack Smith is the kind of prosecutor Trump hasn’t run into before. He has now, for the first time.
If I were the judge, I would have ordered an immediate and complete gag order!
I think that will be coming soon. He has this constitutional inability to keep his mouth shut.
Trump deserves everything he gets from the Justice System. His whole life he has been “nothing but” or should I add, “plus everything else” a criminal con man.
I still think he should have been jailed, pending trial with no electronic devices. He is going to keep running his anal opening on his face. I hope this gets him in more trouble than he is now. I won’t breathe a sigh of relief until he is locked in a prison cell, or better yet, a prison cell under a prison with a life sentence without the possibility of parole. I would love to see him slowly rot away in prison and be rid of this horrific blight on our Nation.
The judge told him if he continues making inflammatory statements while on pretrial release, his trial date will be moved up and he’ll spend the rest of his pretrial in detention. A jail cell with no amenities. He’s finally run into a judge who treats him like any other defendant and not how he thinks he should be treated —like a successful politico. And Jack Smith isn’t a prosecutor Trump can intimidate — he prosecuted war criminals) at the Hague.
TUMP should have been put in jail to start with. I hope he keeps running his facial anus and they put his sorry low down ass in jail. I would hope they could put his trial date for next week. He must have been silent for the past 2 days as i haven’t seen any mention of his insane ranting and raving. I bet it’s eating him alive by being silent this long.
I also saw a Prison Princess Barbie with Donald Trump’s face. ;pmg jaor. built like a girl.
That one unintelligible phrase after ‘with Donald Trump’s face, is long hair, built like a girl. My sister showed me the doll.
I once saw a toilet brush with his head as the business end for sale somewhere!
We actually had one of those toilet brushes with TUMP’s head at the end of it, My daughter purchased it at thrift store in the town i live near. I think the head broke off of it and she threw it away. I would hear her laughing every time she cleaned out toilet. She hates TUMP almost as much as i do.
