How is it not a bigger story that Trump falls asleep every single day of the first criminal trial of a U.S. President in history? Somehow, we've already gotten bored with Don Snoreleone. - BlackKnight10K tweet
Why is it that Trump isn’t supposed to comment on the trial, but serial liar Michael Cohen can go on all the leftist networks and talk about Trump?
The gag order on Trump is unconstitutional and Trump should just keep talking and paying the fines. The leftist morons still have no idea why this is just making Trump stronger.

First, you're right, Cohen should not be able to talk about the trial and should be under a gag order like Donny VonShitzinPantz. This is Newsweek from May 1st.
A judge may place Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen under a gag order for his negative comments about the ex-president, two former federal prosecutors have said.
Joyce Vance and Preet Bharara were reacting to social media comments by Cohen, who is now expected to be the star witness in Trump's hush money case in New York.
"Witnesses need to keep their mouths shut until they are in the courtroom," Vance said.
Second, your comment that Cohen is a "serial liar" is hilarious, given that Liar Donny has been documented as lying while in office over 30,000 times. VonShitzinPantz is a habitual and serial liar, so more so than Cohen.
However, courts must also account for a countervailing constitutional right: the right to a fair trial. Media reporting can influence the jury pool, change witness testimony, or simply make for a chaotic courtroom. It can be harmful for minors or other crime victims that don’t want to talk about their experiences openly. It can impede discovery if the materials at stake concern trade secrets or commercial information. Judges have a constitutional responsibility to prevent these harms if they can. The Supreme Court has recognized that a judge can and must do what is necessary to control their own courtroom and keep it from devolving into chaos.
The occasionally competing First Amendment and fair-trial interests have to be weighed against one other when it comes to gag orders. Balancing the considerations requires conducting a fact-specific inquiry, depending on the exact gag order—what it’s protecting, who it restricts, and what the realities of the trial are.
Cohen has lied many times under oath, which doesn't bother the media at all... they believe every word he says as long as it's against Trump.
If you'd ever like to compare Trump's lies to Biden's, I'd love to participate in that exercise so we could see who has made the most egregious and substantive lies over the last 50 years. Hove you noticed the retirement of all the fact checkers since Biden took office?

Donny VonShitzinPantz. LOL I can smell
the desperation in you posts.
Face it. The arc of history is moving and has left you in far left field.
VonShitzinPantz is what Michael Cohen, Donny's former lawyer, called him in texts. That text was read aloud in court last week and is now public record.
Desperation is trying to defend a man like Donny VonShitzinPantz. You might want to think about leaving the cult.

Trump lied over 30,000 times in the four years he occupied the oval office. Has Biden come close to that? Nooooope.
It's an old joke but....
How can you tell Trump is lying? His lips are moving.
