The term for what Trump does is called “stochastic terrorism.”

You could Google it if you want the exact definition for that phrase, but basically it’s when a public figure uses their platform to agitate their followers or fans against someone they don’t like. All in an effort to make them carry out what that person would like to see happen to the person they don’t like.

So Trump says “Judge so-and-so is just trying to hurt me,” and the people who love Trump send death threats to Judge so-and-so.

And when Trump says “gagged” in the video you’re about to see, you need to know he’s taking a legal term — gag order — and sending it out to his fans as physical injury.

A gag order will be necessary in EVERY case Trump ever faces, because he’s a stochastic terrorist. This is all on purpose. He says the worst things possible about someone in the hope that one of his followers will commit violence against them, and solve his legal problem.

The gag orders that have so far been imposed are literally because Trump engages in this behavior, and innocent people have been harassed, threatened, and sometimes even cornered by angry Trump supporters.

Now, his beef is against Judge Juan Merchan, and the only good thing about his message is that he pronounced his name correctly.

Merchan actually preemptively issued a gag order for the first of Trump’s criminal trials. The others were only civil, and didn’t carry any possibility of jail time.

But it was with good reason; The people associated with both the E. Jean. Carroll case and the NYC fraud case were ALL threatened by Trump supporters, so Merchan was taking precautions.

“But he gagged‘ me, like ‘you can’t talk.”

As though the judge had his hands around Trump’s neck.

And then Trump goes on to say that when he’s allowed to talk, he can tell people what’s really happening, and then explicitly says “Those people become very angry.”

This is maybe the boldest example of his terrorism since he first ran for president. Really? He’s going to tell people they SHOULD be angry?

I only wish there were such a thing as a permanent gag order. Watch:
