The judge presiding over the civil fraud trial of Donald J. Trump fined the former president $5,000 on Friday for violating the terms of a gag order imposed this month.

The judge, Arthur F. Engoron, had barred Mr. Trump from attacking his court staff after the former president posted a picture on social media of Justice Engoron’s law clerk, Allison Greenfield, with Senator Chuck Schumer, the majority leader. Mr. Trump labeled Ms. Greenfield “Schumer’s girlfriend” and said she was “running this case against me.”

Wow, weak sauce. $50,000 would have been better.

Wow, weak sauce. $50,000 would have been better.

Maybe fine will be increased for second violation.

Wow, weak sauce. $50,000 would have been better.

Five lashes to his bare back should suffice.

Cue righties hyperventilating about the 1st amendment, while forgetting that fair trials are also ingrained on our Constitution.
