Trump's been practically daring the judge in his hush money trial to lock him up for contempt. He may be hoping to campaign on it as an example of the "witch hunt" he's facing.

But I suspect a night or two in a holding cell at Central Booking (adjacent to the courthouse) might serve as a serious reality check for him.

@mattblaze Maybe. Or exponentially increasing fines—$1,000 per incident is petty cash for him.

@SteveBellovin @mattblaze I was thinking fibonacci sequence nights in jail. Figure it out quick!

@WildEyedBoyFromFreecloud @mattblaze Per Matt's citation, that's capped, too (and probably rightly so).

@mattblaze Does he even understand that in downtown NY, the only people who would show up for that would be cheering the perp walk?
