The threat wasn’t explicit, but it was certainly implicit. That’s why he posted her personal social media info. He is fully aware he has an army of followers that will take that and run with it. I don’t think that he should be able to get away with that so easily.
If I had thousands of followers and I posted your social media info while insulting you, wouldn’t you consider that a threat? I don’t think a gag order, which was very narrow, is much of a punishment.
Whether or not it rises to the level of “inciting imminent lawless action” is a different topic, but it’s not like he was merely insulting someone to their face - he was pointing tens of millions of his psycho followers at her.
Why wasn’t he immediately thrown in jail for that?! Fucking rich people.

Should still be in contempt of court either way.

Ok? And? Why wasn’t he thrown in jail for that? I read the article.
Because that’s not technically illegal until the gag order, which went into effect after the post was made.
It’s not illegal to threaten someone?
He wasn’t threatening. He was insulting. The word “attack” is misleading in this context.

Which is why he now has a gag order. The act of posting someone’s ig isn’t illegal, but now it is with the gag order.

He was also inciting his followers.

I expect the judge to do something about it once he found out more than a narrow gag order, but apparently that’s asking too much.

Why does the defendent get to be on his phone during his own trial?

There’s no rule against it
Us poors can’t bring cell phones into the courthouse.
Err, what courthouse are you talking about? Never seen an outright ban just gotta silence/turn it off.
Every courthouse I’ve been to in my area will not allow cell phones inside. Must be a state-based or county-based thing.
Fucking seriously. This man is bad enough without clickbait bullshit.
I saw “Trump” and “attacked” and immediately knew he was spittin words lol
For real! Putting it on social media WHILE IN COURT, should be the same as if he stood up and said it in front of the judge.
