Honestly, I'm kind of impressed that trump could read at a high enough level to edit quotes. That's gotta be like 5th or 6th grade level at least, which is well beyond where I thought his reading skills were at.

So what? It's clear that he gets to do what he wants.
"It's not an 11th violation of the gag order! It's the first time he violated the gag order in this way. That automatically restarts the count!" -- Trump's lawyers, probably.
80/20 odds says this judge goes with it so he doesn't actually have to punish Trump.
Just like QI. Was never warned about this specific type of violation, so this scolding won't even cost $1,000 for Donald.
It was so clear that these stooges were only there to violate trump's gag order on his behalf. Of course he edited their speeches. Imagine how embarrassing it must be to have a senile dullard who can't string a sentence together correcting you when you already lie for a living.

That's mighty fine prose, dude.

You can keep it! I don't need it back.
Lol savage
That's a witness to criminal contempt of court. The prosecution should get this guy to swear to his hat he saw under oath so Trump can spend some time in prison for his games.
Edit: I'm not fixing that typo, let him swear to his hat.
They clearly don't want to send trump to prison, even though he most definitely deserves to rot in there, because of his rabid dumbass cult followers. So why not send anyone who helps him violate the gag orders to prison instead?
That's a start. Donald loves throwing his cronies under the bus so he'll be fine with it also.

Upbean for standing on principle 👍
Trump is never going to prison. This judge will not jail him.
Americans swear to hats in court? That explains a lot.

💯
I am totally blanking on what he actually meant there.
Swear to his...god? Heart? I feel like I'm missing something really stupidly more obvious.
Honestly having Trump swear on one of his stupid red hats with MAGA would probably be the equivalent to his version of swearing on the Bible. After all, his word is gospel to his mouth breathing cult.
"..swear to what he saw under oath.." I think
He accidentally hit the suggested word "his" while trying to type the word "what," would be my guess.
The sentence should read: ...swear to what he saw....
I figured it was just some turn of phrase I had never heard before.
I have no idea either, and that makes it even better.
I'm all for making this a thing
Probably had to dumb down the language for the intended audience.
Dumb down TOMMY TUBERVILLE? We're in uncharted territory now...
The submarine will almost certainly implode before we get that deep.
It’s just grunting and “master lock” over and over.
