A New York judge warned former US President Donald Trump to refrain from rhetoric on social media that could inflame or cause civil unrest, Associated Press reported.

The judge Juan Merchan said he was not imposing a gag order, at this point, but he asked both sides to refrain from comments that could lead to civil unrest. The gag order would have restrict Trump and his legal team as well as others involved in the proceedings from speaking publicly about the case.

We have real problems that we are ignoring while this circus goes on. Judge is threatening to take away President Trump’s 1st ammendment rights by fiat.

“Judge is threatening to take away President Trump’s 1st ammendment rights by fiat.”

Judge isn’t threatening to do that. Judge did it.

And he warned both sides? Then why was that fat f—k Bragg standing at podium late this afternoon inflaming the situation?

If Merkin imposes a gag order Alan Dershowitz has promised to put together a team of 1st Amendment specialist lawyers to fight it and personally take it to the Supreme Court.

Well Trump should post pointed posts with video from this evening on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and everywhere. Simply be in their face.

This is fake news. There is no gag order of any kind.

Dershowitz is speaking up for Trump, which is appreciated. Just listen to his podcast conversation, quite good.

“refrain from rhetoric on social media that could inflame or cause civil unrest”

That statement by that partisan corrupt judge says so much about his bias and his inability to conduct a fair trial. Trump has NEVER said anything to inflame or cause civil unrest. That is media and democrat manufactured propaganda. The fact that this judge with his and his family hatred of Trump does not recuse himself just shows how unethical and corrupt he is. He and others like him will ultimately be the cause of a hot civil war if one comes.

Since this whole circus is taking place after Trump announced his running for president, a gag order would have to be put on the entire media as well as anyone connected to the Democrat party!

(Can Congress members be gagged?)🙄

If not, it would be a clear violation of the election interference law!

The democrats would be able to lie, and bad-mouth Trump and neither Trump or his team would be able to respond?

Think about it .. democrats, (including Biden) running against Trump in the primary could talk trash and a gag order on Trump would create a serious violation against the entire Republican party and it’s supporters!

I don’t think so!

I am not an attorney but I did stay in a trashy hotel once!😁

It’s ridiculous to pretend having free speech and forbiding presidential candidates from speaking about corruption in the court system.

You describe exactly what Dershowitz says would be his attack on a gag order.

Judge Merkin is a clown to even bring up civil unrest. What does he think this half baked indictment is doing? And a gag order would only exacerbate it further.

Vague enough to threaten Trump about anything he might post.

This is true banana republic stuff. The rest of the world is laughing at us, and rightly so. All of our pretensions about American rule of law and civilized political norms are down the drain.

Yes, it is and just imagine how easily Dershowitz and a team of 1st A. specialists would tear this judge apart for it. Then there would be the SCOTUS majority opinion. Or opinions. It would humiliate him.

Exactly. He can apply any subjective opinion to justify a rationale for a gag order. He will just wait for his orders to do it from the unseen players in this farce.

So, a negro and a hispanic have been assigned by the turd rollers in the RAT Party to bring down Trump. I think most Americans are going to have a problem with that.

It’s funny that Adam Schiff was the name of Dick Wolf’s fictional DA in Law and Order.
