Oct. 20 (UPI) -- A Manhattan Supreme Court judge on Friday fined former President Donald Trump $5,000 for violating a gag order placed on him during his civil fraud trial in New York.

"Donald Trump has received ample warning from this court as to the possible repercussions of violating the gag order," Judge Arthur Engoron said in his order Friday. "He specifically acknowledged that he understood and would abide by it.

"Accordingly, issuing yet another warning is no longer appropriate; this court is way behind the 'warning stage.'"

Engoron also threatened Trump twice with jail time if the former president violates the order again, CNN reported.

This just the boop on the nose to remind him the judge ain't fucking around. It's how I get my dog's attention when she starts to get hyper. I tap her nose and she realizes she done goofed and starts behaving. Trump can either behave or serve some time. We all know what he's likely going to do and we'll see the first former president who sees the inside of a prison cell.
