If Donald Trump can't help himself and continues chastising anybody from witnesses, court staff, or even jurors in his hush money trial, he will be headed to jail for contempt, an expert warned Tuesday night.

Former federal prosecutor and law professor Ryan Goodman sees drastic measures being employed should the former president fail to respect the New York judge's gag order, put in place earlier in the day.

"Now we have a gag order that says, 'If he goes after those witnesses, et cetera, there could be consequences and, at a certain point, he could be held in contempt, and that could mean jail time because there's nothing else that the court revealed to use in order to deter him, and he seems undeterrable otherwise."

Judge Juan Merchan issued the gag order to stop Trump from taking aim publicly at anybody directly involved in the case. It cites his his history of “threatening, inflammatory, denigrating” remarks about people tied to previous cases.

1. There's no way trump can help himself

His pathology is too far gone. It's only a matter of time before he violates the order.

2. One line? Is that a solid, thick line? Not two lines to define a lane?

Or did Trump mean, stay within his lane?

3. With this recidivist it's always a dashed line. n/t

4. If the financial sanctions won't work, I'd actually reward him...

...with an all-expenses-paid "week to remember" at one of the state's finer facilities that cater to people of discerning tastes - like Donwuld. "It's to die for!" -Bernie Madoff

5. Could, could, could.

I’ll believe it when I see it, because Trump can’t STFU but I don’t believe anyone has the guts to do the right thing and jail his ass.

I wish I believed differently.

6. Jail, I'll believe that when I see it.
