    Don’t kick him out, that’s exactly what he wants.

    F**KING ARREST HIM and charge him with contempt of court.

      Judge doesn’t need to charge him, he can just be found in Contempt & held.

        Yep, I don’t think I have the self control to be a judge. I think the maximum is 180 days and the very first time he uttered even a syllable off topic or without being asked a direct question his ass would be in for the maximum allowable amount of time.

          I feel the same, but he’s going to appeal and one of the arguments will be that the judge was biased against him. The judge tolerating more than would be expected torpedos that argument. So this is trying to make the result appeal-proof.

      Judge: Mr. Trump, I hope I don’t have to consider excluding you from the trial. I understand you’re probably eager for me to do that.

      Trump: I would love it

      Judge: I know you would like it. You just can’t control yourself in this circumstance, apparently.

      Trump (muttering): You can’t either.

      Ladies and gentlemen, this is a real conversation had by someone who once was and is again running for president. What fucking weird timeline are we living in?
