The judge in the New York civil trial against The Criminal Donald John Trump yesterday issued a limited gag order against the former president, essentially telling TCDJT to put a sock in it in public about said trial. On his social media site, Trump lied outright saying a member of the judge’s staff was Sen Charles Schumer’s “girlfriend”. “And this rogue judge, a Trump hater. The only one that hates Trump more is his associate up there [the staffer],” Trump said. “The person that works with him. She’s screaming into his ear almost every time we ask a question. A disgrace. It’s a disgrace.” It’s unalloyed fiction of course from a desperate, frightened man, a man who’s cornered. To see this portrayed on the Big Screen, you have to go back 36 years and watch a particular performance by none other than Robert De Niro.
