I'm still puzzled as to why handling Trump in court is viewed as some sort of challenge.
Just ignoring his miscoduct in Court, emboldens him and erodes the legitimacy and respect for the court.
Fining him is useless, because it's not his money. He'll get the money from fundraising.
But Trump is fundamentally a coward who would immediately crumble in custody.
Simple enough. Warn Trump that his outbusts will result in him spending a night in jail for contempt of court. Give him a second warning. Heck give him a third.
After that, just get the cuffs on him and take him to jail for the night.
Next day, two warnings, 2 days in jail.
Next day, one warning, 4 days in jail.
Next day, no warning, 8 days in jail.
After that, just keep doubling the jail time.
No appeals court would criticise that conduct on the part of the trial judge, and let's face it, Trump is such a little baby he'd stay quiet after his first stint in jail.
Fuck the political implications. One crucial aspect to the rule of law, is that while court proceedings are ongoing, the authority of the Court must be respected by all parties. Period.
The fact that Trump is getting treated with kid gloves while he blatantly disrespects the court process is already a failure to uphold the rule of law.

Truly, it's time to pop this pimple and see what happens rather than wait until it's too late.
Rule of law? What does that matter to Caesar? He will be the law, or perish.
