Donald Trump was once again found to be in violation of the gag order against him, forcing Judge Juan Merchan to hold him in contempt...again.

The former president is at his wit's end, and he's no longer able to hide his anger and contempt towards those who don't bow down before him.

But Republicans couldn't give him a win in an election year, even if that means condemning millions of people to a horrible death.
