Into that no-good prison.
President Donald Trump has declared that he’s “willing to go jail” as he vowed to break a federal judge’s gag order against him.
During a rally in Iowa, Trump told hundreds of supporters in suburban Des Moines that he will never be silenced.
Trump held the rally just 91 days before Iowa Republicans are due to hold the first-in-the-nation 2024 presidential caucuses.
Earlier on Monday, Obama-appointed federal District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan slapped a gag order on Trump.
The order bars the 45th president from attacking or criticizing witnesses, prosecutors, and court staff involved in his Washington, D.C. criminal case.
Wrong answer, Mr President, sir.
I mean, on the one hand it’s a good thing he’s “willing to go to jail,” I suppose, since that’s exactly where he’s headed in any event. But speaking strictly for myself and no one else, I’d like to see a bit more of the “hell no, I won’t go” spirit of outraged defiance from him, a little more “come and get me if you think you can, motherfuckers.” Submissive resignation—a shrug of the shoulders and a “well, whatchagonnado” as if equality under the law still meant a goddamned thing in Amerika v2.0—just ain’t gonna cut the mustard anymore.
Speaking for myself only, I think you’re missing what “willing to go to jail” means. It is what you seek IMO.
