‘Trump is likely to violate his gag order again. Jail him if he does.’
Chris Brennan in USA Today
Fining former President Donald Trump $9,000 for violating the gag order in his hush money trial isn’t going to make the former president “control himself,” says Chris Brennan. Trump has spent a lifetime “testing the limits of what he can get away with.” If he keeps bad-mouthing witnesses, “New York Judge Juan Merchan must jail Trump for at least one night.” That “might be the only way to get through to him.”

Patrick T. Brown at CNN
Protests against the Gaza war by pro-Palestinian students have sparked chaos on college quads, says Patrick T. Brown.
