The Spin

Democratic narrative

For the sake of the integrity of the judicial system, and the safety of anyone Trump considers an enemy, Chutkan must impose the strictest gag order possible. Trump's social media rants are nothing new, but – as was proven on Jan. 6, 2021 – his followers can turn to violence when instructed, and he must be stopped before someone gets hurt or this case gets tarnished.

Pro-Trump narrative

The witch hunt against Trump continues. The prosecutors’ charges against Trump violate his First Amendment rights to question the results of the election, and now they want to stifle his ability to speak on his own behalf. With a biased Obama-appointed judge overseeing this case, Trump can’t get a fair shake, and the weaponization of the Justice Department to stop a political opponent will unfortunately continue.
