Trump dares Judge to imprison him

To me, this doesn't sound so much like a dare as it does bluster for his base to reinforce a key narrative that he wants them to believe - that they are being persecuted by commie/traitors and that, he, their savior-king, is being especially persecuted to bring him down. Their victimization is his victimization and vice versa, therefore anything that victimizes him, victimizes them.

But notice he didn't throw himself into the lions den. For all the nasty crap in those statements, he didn't actually go against the judge's gag order. I don't think he is desperate enough to gamble on challenging the gag order in a clear and unambiguous way. He's an expert at walking right up to the line and smugly dangling his foot over it without touching down, so that's what I think is likely to keep happening - at least for a while.

This.
