“Daily” statements by former President Donald Trump “threaten to prejudice the jury pool” in the federal case where he is charged with crimes related to trying to reverse his loss in the 2020 election, prosecutors said Tuesday.

    Are you going to actually do something about it? No? Then shut the fuck up, because he’s not going to stop. As long as your answer to “What are you going to do about it?” continues to be “Nothing” in practice, he is going to continue to do this. So either do something about it or expect it to get worse. He’s not going to shut up on his own, no matter how much legal advice he’s given.
