Boing Boing - Dictator Trump once again let out his inner fascist today at a rally in New Hampshire, saying CNN and NBC should "have their licenses taken away" for not airing his victory speech last night. "NBC and CNN refused to air my victory speech," the sore winner said to a crowd of booing devotees. "Because they are crooked, they're dishonest, and frankly, they should have their licenses taken away."Although Trump was wrong about CNN, who did air his rambling speech (although they cut into it around the 10-minute mark for commentary), MSNBC made a point of keeping his speech off the air.
CNBC - A New York federal judge threatened Wednesday to kick Donald Trump out of court for making “disruptive” comments during the trial that will determine how much he has to pay E. Jean Carroll for defaming her after she alleged he raped her decades ago.
The warning by Judge Lewis Kaplan came after Carroll’s lawyer complained that Trump had continued making comments audible to jurors, including, “This really is a con job,” even after the judge told him to “keep his voice down.”
“Mr. Trump has the right to be present here that right can be forfeited and it can be forfeited if he is disruptive, and if he disregards court orders,” Kaplan said after jurors were excused for lunch at U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
“Mr. Trump I hope I don’t have to consider excluding you from the trial, I understand you are very eager for me to do that,” the judge said. “I know you would because you just can’t control yourself in this circumstance.”
Trump raised his hands in the air and shook them in response to Kaplan’s warning.
The judge earlier in the day had snapped at Trump’s lawyer.
“I said sit down!” Kaplan told the attorney, Alina Habba when she repeated her call to postpone the trial so that Trump could attend his mother-in-law’s funeral.
Habba replied, “I don’t like to be spoken [to] like that ... I will not speak to you like that.”
Kaplan shot back, “It is denied. Sit down.
