More than half of Americans view those court gag orders against Trump as a First Amendment violation -Daily Mail/TIPP poll

What kind of a nation slaps a gag order onto its leading presidential frontrunner in its coming election over his criticism of the court's conflicts of interest?

According to normal people, a tinpot regime, which is how a majority of the American public sees it, according to a new Daily Mail/TIPP poll:

Americans by wide margins say gag orders imposed by judges against Donald Trump violate the former president's right to free speech, a DailyMail.com/TIPP Poll shows.

Fully 56 percent of voters say orders barring Trump from commenting on the cases against him undermine his first-amendment guarantees, our survey reveals.

Another 32 percent said the orders did not infringe his rights, while 12 percent said they were not sure.

Our exclusive poll of more than 1,000 US adults comes as Trump, his lawyers, and voters grapple with the implications of curtailing the speech of a prominent politician.

Even Democrats agree that something skeevy is going on. And more than 1,000 U.S. adults were aske -- by the most reliable pollster in the U.S.

This is the kind of thing we see going on in Nicolas Maduro's Venezuela, where the same kind of shutdown effort is going on against its dissident leaders, or in Vlad Putin's Russia, where any opponent of the regime is promptly dispensed with through the corrupted legal apparatus.

We see it here, too. And done by a judges with the worst bias, one with a bona fide communist background, having been raised among people with these values.

Trump has criticized the courts for being biased with one of the first officers of one of these courts apparently being unusually close to Democrat leadership.

The ones who don’t understand it is a violation are my enemies.

Read the First Amendment. Gag orders are nowhere to be found in it. Gag orders were illegitimately carved out of the Constitution by the Judicial Branch for their own purposes.

What's up with Independents splitting their vote on this obvious infringement of Trump's rights. Even the majority of Dems got it right.

“So what do you think about the case against your client?”

“Sorry. I am not allowed to say.”

The numbers cited indicate clearly that 48% of those polled are either whacked out on drugs or are at room temperature IQ level. This is concerning.

It should read: “ONLY HALF of Americans view those court orders…”, and express outrage that the percentage is that low. Any idiot can see that this is a free speech violation!
