Do You Think The Gag Order Against Trump Is Unconstitutional?
Here’s the Scoop
Former President Donald Trump, always one to challenge perceived injustices, has taken aim at a federal judge’s decision.
The judge slapped a limited gag order on Trump in connection with the Washington, D.C., criminal election interference case.
An undeterred Trump was quick to dub the decision as “so unconstitutional” at a campaign event in Adel, Iowa.
In fact, mere hours before, his campaign spokesperson had gone on record calling the order “an absolute abomination.”
During the event, Trump voiced his incredulity, saying, “Today a judge put on a gag order. I’ll be the only politician in history that runs with a gag order where I’m not allowed to criticize people. Can you imagine this?”
He confirmed his intention to appeal, reiterating his viewpoint, “it’s so unconstitutional.”
In what might be seen by some as a classic Trump move, he juxtaposed his legal predicaments with that of notorious American gangster Al Capone.
