So here’s what the judge should do: Put Trump in jail for contempt for 1 hour.
Trump won’t be able to resist exploding about how this is the worst thing, etc. He’ll belly-ache for days about it.
The rest of the world will collectively roll its eyes. All the “oh, but we can’t punish a president” people will clutch their pearls and whine about how we’re all going to hell.
Lather, rinse and repeat this every future time Trump violates the gag order. Maybe bump it to 2 hours.
Eventually, people will figure out that putting Trump in prison won’t bring the End Times. Trump will realize that he’s completely run out whatever sympathy and attention his 3 remaining supporters can conjure. The justice system will eventually just forget to release him after his hour is up.
