Donald J. Trump was fined another $1,000 for again violating his gag order and threatened with jail time, as his trial entered its third week of testimony. Stormy Daniels, the porn star at the center of it, could soon take the stand.

Washington Post coverage for comparison

      Ordinarily someone held in contempt would be hit with huge fines, or jailed. Orangieboi was fined $9000, which is the equivalent of you being fined 1/100th of a penny.

        1000 is the maximum fine they can give per instance.

        Think he got hit with 9. Most people would have gotten the “up to 30 days in jail” by now though.

          In addition to the fines. $9000 to an ordinary person is a huge sum of money. To a billionaire, it’s not even their lunch meal bill.

        If the fine is a fixed amount like that, the law is saying that poor people will be punished while rich people won’t.

          Most fines in US law are like that.

      He faces a fine right now,and seeing as the related instances occurred before the judge stressed that further violations will result in being jailed, this is the end of his rope. No more chances.
