George Conway: Lying, intimidating, bullying. That's Trump at his worst, and that's Trump always

Less than 24 hours after being placed under a gag order in his upcoming hush money trial, Trump has repeatedly lashed out at the judge overseeing the case on social media. Yesterday, Trump called the judge biased and confrontational and also criticized the judge's daughter, saying she used an image of him behind bars as a social media profile picture, but that claim is false, the New State court system York says the account is fake under the gag order imposed this week. Trump must refrain from talking about Witnesses, jurors, lawyers, court staff and employees in the The order from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office did not mention the judge and his family, so George Conway is not technically a violation of the gag order because he is going after the judge, not the witnesses, the potential jurors, but Donald Trump continues down this path, to no one's surprise,

find the only thing he can do if there's a list of things he can't do and that No. I don't think he can get away with it and he has no qualms about it, he has no conscience and at some point I think, even if he can't help it, he will end up violating the gag order and that will be an interesting experience. interesting moment, I mean, you could say he's already violated some other gag orders, but we'll see him go above and beyond, particularly when he walks into that courtroom on April 15 and has to sit there and listen to all the evidence against him and listen to the arguments against him yes, you know Jonathan Lamir, you know, we've been talking a lot about all the money that Donald Trump is going to have to pay, look, look how much of it is his own -It was inflicted around 90 million of that, Eugene Carroll self-inflicted, that case ended and he started defaming her again, you know, so he, the case ended, pays, I don't know, 5 $10 million, that's a lot of money for others.

People, but Trump would say no for himself and then ignores everything, starts smearing them again repeatedly and this time the court comes back and makes a decision. I think the jury made the decision. We have to do something to stop him from defaming this woman. because you would think that a verdict of five or 10 million would be enough, but no, it wasn't, and a lot of these complaints, I mean, as is always the case with Donald Trump, a lot of his Mo problems are self-inflicted problems and here we go. again, so I don't want to hear people say, well, if he ends up going to jail for a couple of nights for violating this order, you know, it's up to Donald Trump, it's up to him, them, the rest of us. 340 million Americans would not get away with what Donald Trump got away with.

I note that 30 of us 140 million of us would not get away with criticizing a judge even closely and lying about the judge's daughter I I I despite all the complaints I have practiced law for a few years and I practiced law on long enough to know that if you did something like this in northwest Florida you would be sent to jail for a night or two to think about it. Yes, it is a two-tier justice system, but Donald Trump's. got the upper hand unlike what he always says and we must be clear that this gag order is largely due to concerns about threats of violence.

There are many people linked to this trial and others have received threats from Trump supporters. This is an effort here to try to squash that to try to keep Trump quiet, you know, but he can't help it, like you just told him, he's gotten into a lot of trouble because he just can't stop talking or telling the truth in his social networks. uh and rev media site and that's what's going to have implications for his criminal trial in the first place. I think we've been living with this for so long now that Trump has legal problems that it's still going to be jarring when actually as a former president, the first former president to sit in court in about a month and face criminal charges, uh, but that's also the Political problem for Trump is that he can't stop talking famously, so he was disciplined like the last two. weeks of the 2016 campaign and that helped him when he came back and beat Hillary Clinton, but the Biden campaigns firmly believe that the more Trump talks, the more trouble he gets into legally and politically, the better it is for the president no and I think they are right , I think Trump will continue to talk and they will continue to say that Biden and the Democrats will benefit from it because he seems unhinged to voters, but I think they need to realize that Donald Trump wants to provoke a confrontation. he wants to play maada and he wants you to respond to him, go down on him so he can play with his base, see what you are doing to me, it's not that he provoked it.

I mean attacking a judge's daughter and a judge he just said. don't do this kind of thing and, as you say with the threat of violence, I mean we are not doing this to stop free speech, we are doing it because people are being threatened and potential jurors will be worried, I think it will be note. the irresponsibility of someone you would want to put back behind the chair in the Oval Office is absolutely terrifying to me, well, George Conway and Molly George, you guys first, I mean, I think the reason for these orders in the first place of silence. as Jonathan Lamir pointed out it's because of the fear of violence, retaliation, and Donald Trump is demonstrated on that point in many different ways, we could talk for four hours about the different ways he has threatened people and then of course, I have on January 6th and I just have to say that I was watching one of their networks because I liked seeing what Trump voters hear on places that call themselves news networks and they were talking about January 6th in a discussion on a speech about us actually and saying we want to make it clear that January 6th was more than a small thing and that's the problem with the speech, let's just go out and say what you hear, you can hear on Fox News people saying that nothing bad happened in January. for mostal and others they say you know that Network, they actually sit there and the people who watch that Network really think that January 6th was an important event and you are sitting, wait a second, if it wasn't there, I would see if it wasn't I would have seen newspapers in 19 in the 1930s saying you know Crystal Knox, there are some people who actually think that was a bad thing, this is the fact that Donald Trump has lulled people so much that the same people who said that it was a horrible thing in January 1930 7 now they're coming back to the cult again to the folds and you know, some people are actually stupid enough to say that that was a really terrible thing, mind-blowing to me, mind-blowing to me, it can't be the debate that they In fact, they are able to say that, in a network that has paid a high price for the elections, it is fine, absolutely.

I mean, they've created their own little bubble. It is a small bubble in which Trump lives and in which all the people, many people. those who support him live, but the question is what the people in the middle think and the people in the middle don't want that chaos, they really don't want that chaos, they're not thinking about Donald Trump yet. As much as we all do it because it's not just March, so I think you already know the strategy that the Biden campaign has, which will be to keep hitting him and keep pointing out the crazy people who keep pointing out.

The abnormal thing about Donald Trump is the right one because he's actually going to have, as I like to say, a kind of feedback effect the more you hit him and they have the resources and they seem to have the idea that we're really going to hit him hard. way they didn't in 2020, you provoke him and you get more of the kind of behavior that you can point to and say this guy shouldn't be anywhere near the wheel of an ice cream cone. truck let alone the Oval Office, so I think you know, I think the Dynamics are going to work in favor of, I mean, they're going to work against Donald Trump as he exposes himself more and more and faces more and more pressure from them. criminal cases, yes, I think so, and again the fact that they are living in a bubble, that Donald Trump Trump is living in a bubble, this reminds me a lot of Molly from 2012, when Mitt Romney and his team were watching Fox News and They just looked at websites. that told them they were up by 11 points in the Gallup poll they believed until election night.

What they were hearing inside that bubble is happening again and if you're a fascist or a cult member or an insurrectionist or a weirdo or just a monster uh or just a confused person who's stumbled in the wrong direction um that's it. a bubble that has led to the Republicans losing in 2017 18 19 20 21 22 23 so so little idiots out there saying I'm a far leftist or something First of all, I have a 95% ACU rating. I'm more conservative than any of them. I was part of Congress and a big part of the reason is that if anyone was around, they would tell them that we balanced the budget for four years. consecutively for the first time and the only time in a hundred years, so when I say all this and I say wake up, you're in a bubble, I say this as a conservative and these cult members will look at anyone.

We'll look at Liz Cheney, who I believe she also has a 95% ACU rating. We will look at me. We'll look at George Conway, who liberals hated most of his life. We'll look at all these other people who gave their lives to the conservative cause who say wake up, wake up, you're going to lose, this guy's a scammer, well, and they don't listen, instead they try to shoot the messenger who's trying to help them and thank God, because this is his very autocratic vision. for America and you know, look, we have a party that doesn't believe right now in the tenants of democracy Liz Cheney George Conway they're doing this because they're worried about American democracy right, it's no longer about left or right, it's about of our system of government versus some other feverish, feverish dream, so you know it again.

Me, George and I, our friends, vehemently disagree on many, many, many things, including abortion, which we fight about all the time, and judges, but uh, and the Supreme Court. but we also agree on democracy, right, we fight for the Supreme Court all the time, this is good, well, this is what it's really about here and this is what is missing in our speech, our political speech, Jo, we hear you fight, yes, but. fight and the Republicans that is true and the Republicans that you named, know that their crime in their party is that they said what they thought and the problem that we are seeing right now is that there are many people in the media who lean towards Lo It is true that at this moment they are eliminating people who say what they think.

Right now they are weeding out people who speak their minds regardless of who pays them.
