Why wasn't he immediately thrown in jail for that?! Fucking rich people.

For real! Putting it on social media WHILE IN COURT, should be the same as if he stood up and said it in front of the judge.

30 more...

Man, I thought he went feral, they need to work on their headlines.

I’m so tired of people saying the headline was misleading because they lack basic reading comprehension… but that’s not the case here. Was expecting to see he threw his phone at the clerk or something.

That would have been great to see on video… but he probably would have missed her “Bigly”.

They worked on this one, I guarantee it. They know what the fuck they implied. Clickbait bullshit

Man, this guy is committing more crimes as he’s on trial for crimes.

Posting their IG account is pretty much a direct threat by mobilizing his stupid fans.

More crimes for him to never be held accountable for. Chalk it up, Merrick. It’s on your watch.

Merrick finally realized he was too much of a coward to handle it and passed off to Jack Smith.

This is who they choose for their savior, this geriatric child. He's like the classic fast food manager who still has the high school mindset, but with money (for now) and inexplicable influence.

"The New York judge presiding over Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial on Tuesday issued a gag order after the former president attacked his clerk by name and shared her image on social media,” The Messenger reports.

Said Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron: “Personal attacks on members on my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate, and I won’t tolerate it.”

A little late there judge. Hopefully the rest of your peers will not be so dumb about letting him wreak havoc and destruction the only way he knows how.

What, did someone think he wouldn’t scream for murders to be committed against any and all? Time for everyone who was, uh, unclear in 2016 and/or 2020 to get their shit together. The man is a demented narcissist rapist fraud and it will Never. Get. Better.

This farce is running WAY too long.

I would legitimately pay $5 to see a picture of trump angry as fuck sitting in court where he knows he's guilty as fuck with duct tape on his mouth preventing him from doing anything more than making humming noises through his nose.

"Schumer's girlfriend, Alison R. Greenfield, is running this case against me. How disgraceful! This case should be dismissed immediately!!" he wrote. Despite his claim, there is no evidence of a relationship between Schumer and Greenfield beyond taking a photo together at one point.

It doesn’t matter. The average trumpster is so fucking dumb, they will eat it up. Warping it into a fact in their heads.

It's called stochastic terrorism. When Trump publicly names someone as an enemy, he won't be the one to physically attack them.

I read this as "the average trumpeter is so fucking dumb..." and assumed you were either trombone or French horn. 😄

The comments on Twitter are brain-meltingly stupid. The MAGA morons actually think Greenfield is Schumer's girlfriend because Trump made that post.

If they had an iota of critical thinking skills, they wouldn’t be Trump supporters in the first place.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Former President Donald Trump attacked Judge Arthur Engoron's clerk in a now-deleted social media post while in the courtroom with her on Tuesday.

Trump appeared in a New York courtroom for the second day of his trial of Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit alleging that he committed business fraud.

James accused the former president of inflating his net worth by billions of dollars to obtain benefits such as better bank loans and reduced tax bills between 2011 and 2021.

He posted a photograph taken of Greenfield with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, calling for the case to be dismissed over the picture.

Politico reporter Kyle Cheney wrote, "Trump, on Truth Social, is attacking Judge Engoron's *clerk,—who is literally in the courtroom with him—while calling her 'Chuck Schumer's girlfriend' and posting a link to her Instagram account.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has requested a gag order in the federal case surrounding the January 6, 2021, riot at the United States Capitol building.


The original article contains 566 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Why this awful reddit-style click bait? The truth about Trump is bad enough as is, no need to lie about him.

Damn. Newsweek has sunk so low from their former self.

From the headline, I thought "attacked" meant "assaulted," and that's obviously the connection the editor wanted me to make.

But no, Trump made a disparaging post against this woman on his fake Twitter network. Shitty, but not as bad as the headline implied.

You should just be glad they didn't say he "slams" her.
