'They've Taken Away My Right to Speak,' Trump Says While Ranting to Reporters

The former president got very mad about his inability attack witnesses and jurors before reportedly dozing off in court again

Donald Trump claimed on Friday that he has been stripped of his constitutional right to speak to the press … while ranting to a giant gaggle of reporters. 

The former president took time before entering court in his criminal hush money trial to once again complain about a gag order barring him from attacking witnesses, prosecutors, court staff, and jurors involved in the case. 

“The gag order has to come off. People are allowed to speak about me and I have a gag order,” Trump said. “They are taking away my constitutional rights to speak, and that includes speaking to you. I have a lot to say to you, and I am not allowed to say it — and I’m the only one. Everyone else can say whatever they want about me. They can say anything they want, they can continue to make up lies […] But I’m not allowed to speak. I want to speak to the press and everybody else about it. So why am I gagged?”

When he was still on shitter, I replied to him "shut up" six times in one hour. My account has been restricted ever since (I can't post). I stopped using it anyway, probably I should delete it

Have you considered that maybe your voice is being silenced?

I legit wondered why you were replying to him while he was on the shitter for a hot minute....
