He grew up on a steady diet of Soviet propaganda that leaned HEAVILY on that point. You’re probably right.

Let's not pretend like the rest of us would have disagreed. If Trump sees the inside of a cell that will be an anomaly at this point.

I think the judge clucked his tongue sternly for one of the multiple counts of Donald violating a court order regarding intimidating jurors and court staff. I knew there was a corrupt multi-tiered justice system but I have never before seen it so blatant.

Other guys in NY spend years locked up in solitary just waiting for trial, let alone mouthing off to a judge, let alone publicly asking followers to threaten or harass a jurors and the judge's staff.
