Donald Trumpā€™s supporters unleashed a wave of death threats and antisemitic and homophobic messages to the judge overseeing his fraud trial, as well as his chief clerk, according to a state court filing this week.

A filing to support New York Justice Arthur Engoronā€™s opposition to a freeze on a gag order in the case includes a statement from the courtā€™s top security official, who has collected ā€œhundreds of threats, disparaging and harassing comments and antisemitic messagesā€ that followed the former presidentā€™s harassment.

Federal prosecutors ā€“ who are seeking a separate gag order ā€“ shared those threats with the federal appeals court judges who will decide whether Mr Trump should be gagged in his election interference case.

But on Friday, the former presidentā€™s attorneys dismissed those threats as ā€œirrelevantā€.

    Trump is a cult leader. Much like Charles Manson, all he has to do is speak, and there are carzy cultist who will do what he wants.

    Trump: ā€œStand back and stand byā€. The Proud Boys are an armed and violent hate group at Trump command. There are many metally ill people that listen to their leader and they are also standing by for Trump to speak.

        Maybe I watch too many interviews of Trump supporters talking, or listen to them at work. They say crazy things and Trump is able to connectā€“or more accurately, use them. But you are right, there are many who are not crazy and support Trump. They just give a small knowing smile when they hear their fellow supporters doing the crazy talk.
