Trump knows exactly what he’s doing when he eggs on his rabid base that this “political hack judge” in New York is “unhinged” and “must be stopped.” He hides behind the First Amendment, but he’s a mob boss, and he knows from experience that there are dangerous elements in his MAGA base. People will take things into their own hands when he demands, “WE NEED JUSTICE IN OUR COUNTRY!” Trump must be kept from issuing threats to witnesses and court officials ahead of his trials.
