A New York appeals court has reinstated a gag order that barred Donald Trump from commenting about court personnel after he disparaged a law clerk in his New York civil fraud trial.

A New York appeals court Thursday reinstated a gag order that barred Donald Trump from commenting about court personnel after he disparaged a law clerk in his New York civil fraud trial.

The one-sentence decision from a four-judge panel came two weeks after an individual appellate judge had put the order on hold while the appeals process played out.

Trial judge Arthur Engoron, who imposed the gag order, said he now planned to enforce it “rigorously and vigorously.”

Trump attorney Christopher Kise called it “a tragic day for the rule of law.”

    While the order was on hold, Trump posted about Greenfield as recently as Wednesday, referring to the judge’s “very disturbed and angry law clerk.”

    Yes, I would imagine she is rather disturbed by the fact that she’s getting hundreds of death threats from your cult just for doing her fucking job. I’d also imagine she might be a bit angry about it.

    I’m so fucking sick of waiting for Trump to experience even enough consequences to no longer be able to afford a 1% lifestyle. So fucking sick of this back and forth tit for tat bs.

    Someone wake me when he’s in prison garb, or (the horror) forced to buy a typical suburban home to live in, or is in any way finally made to confront and acknowledge the harm he’s done and the awfulness of his own character.

    Imagine someone defending Trump calling anything “a tragic day for the rule of law.”
