Alvin Bragg is desperate to put Donald Trump behind bars before his likely stacked jury even weighs in.
The former President may have just given them the opening.
And now Donald Trump has posted ten words on Truth Social that have Alvin Bragg demanding he be imprisoned.
Manhattan Democrat District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s witch hunt against former President Donald Trump has been a transparent political show trial from the very beginning.
But thanks to Democrat-appointed Judge Juan Merchan, who also just happens to have previously donated to President Joe Biden’s campaigns, Trump is not allowed to say anything publicly about the trial – whether in spoken word or written on social media.
That includes the fact that Manhattan Democrat DA is attempting to assemble an all-Democrat jury filled with anti-Trump radicals, a task that’s made all the more easy when the Democrat Judge refused a change of venue motion and kept the trial in Democrat-controlled New York City.
And unfortunately, Trump may have run afoul of that gag order.
Trump recently shared a quote from Fox News’ Jesse Watters on Truth Social, in which the Fox News host highlighted how difficult it would be Trump to receive a fair trial when “they are catching undercover liberal activists lying to the judge.”
That quote was in reference to a now-viral clip of a prospective juror who attempted to claim that she could be impartial and free of bias in the case while simultaneously admitting that she despises the former President and suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
This prospective Trump juror was dismissed because of scheduling conflicts but told the court she could remain unbiased. Here she admits she’s “not a fan” of the President. If Trump gets a fair trial in New York it will require a not insignificant miracle. pic.twitter.com/1sV4zVcM9j

Bragg previously requested that Judge Merchan punish Trump for supposedly violating the gag order when he responded to attacks levied against him in the media by pornstar Stormy Daniels and his former attorney, Michael Cohen, who is reportedly one of Bragg’s “star witnesses” despite openly admitting to committing perjury the last time he testified against Trump.
And in that request, he specifically requested that the Democrat Judge imprison Trump for some 30 days if he were to violate the order again.
Needless to say, the Manhattan District Attorney will likely use Trump’s Truth Social post to push for that exact outcome.
Of course, the day after Trump’s post, Bragg’s case was rocked by another bombshell, when a juror from the ultra elite and left-wing Upper East Side of Manhattan, came forward to tell Judge Merchan that “after sleeping on it overnight, she had concerns about her ability to be fair and impartial in this case.”
Merchan questioned the juror, who proceeded to reveal that after family and friends sent her internet posts that exposed her identity, she realized she wouldn’t be able to avoid being affected by “outside influences.”
“Yesterday, alone, I had friends, colleagues and family push things to my phone regarding questioning my identity as a juror,” she told Merchan. “I don’t believe, at this point, that I can be fair and unbiased and let the outside influences not affect my thinking in the courtroom.”
Only time will tell whether Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan attempt to imprison Donald Trump for violating a gag order.
But one thing that is for sure is the fact that he likely won’t be receiving a fair trial either way.
