The posts that Merchan ordered Trump take down are now gone

As of 1:24 pm ET, all of the Truth Social and campaign website posts that Merchan ordered Trump to remove by 2:15 pm ET today have been taken down.

Merchan had ruled earlier Tuesday that the posts had violated Trump's gag order and the former president would be fined $9,000. The judge also threatened Trump with possible jail time if he continues to violate the order.

The brat was sent to the corner for a time-out, threw a tantrum instead and threatened to hold his breath until he passes out. And while his face begins to turn purple, and his congregation will continue to sing from the hymnals that old southern spiritual, "Nothing will ever happen That's all part of the plan. trump is a genius!"

Trump posts just minutes after deletion of posts Merchan fined him for

Kyla Guilfoil
Trump posted on Truth Social just minutes before returning to court Tuesday afternoon and less than an hour after the posts — which Judge Merchan had ordered to be deleted in accordance with his gag order--were taken down.

"This Judge has taken away my Constitutional Right to FREE SPEECH," Trump's new post read.

"I am the only Presidential Candidate in History to be GAGGED. This whole “Trial” is RIGGED, and by taking away my FREEDOM OF SPEECH, THIS HIGHLY CONFLICTED JUDGE IS RIGGING THE PRESIDENTIAL OF 2024 ELECTION. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!" the post continued.
