During the jury deliberation on Thursday, former President Donald Trump took to social media to express his dissatisfaction with the instructions provided by Judge Juan Merchan, labeling them as 'unfair.' Trump further criticized Merchan in a subsequent post on Truth Social, alleging bias and lamenting the gag order imposed.
It is important to note that Trump has consistently portrayed the gag order as more restrictive than it actually is. At a recent campaign rally, he claimed that the order prevented him from speaking to the public, despite the fact that it does not prohibit him from engaging in campaign activities or addressing his supporters.
