LOCK HIM UP!

NBC News: Trump is using his phone in the courtroom, openly flouting the rules of the courtroom. Blanche just told him to stop and Trump tucked the phone in his pocket while looking annoyed. @MSNBC

Lot of loose talk (“The horror! The horror!”) about Trump “getting away with something” because he’s not in jail for life yet.

Again, it’s getting hard to distinguish Trump supporters from Trump detractors.

There is a hearing on Tuesday for Trump’s contempt. If Merchan puts him in jail, and Trump appeals for a mistrial (prejudicing the jury/jury pool), and everything could go to shit. So calm down. Every action has consequences. The contempt finding will not help him, even if the punishment doesn’t satiate tout le internet.

Please note Trump’s lawyer told him to put the phone away. And prospective jurors are watching Trump petulantly refuse to rise when they walk in . I want him to behave that way for six weeks, and play with his phone as often as possible. Blanche understands this, too.

It’s fine with me if Trump doesn’t. The courtroom is a very closed loop. What goes around in there comes right back around, very quickly.

Trump is going to FAFO. Let him.
