Perhaps a little vacation at the Rikers Island Resort will provide the necessary motivation to behave?

Trump wouldn't show for court ordered Community Service and would end up being jailed anyway, so why waste time!

Community service just sounds like an attempt to humiliate him. We know what happened when Obama made fun of him publicly at the correspondents dinner. Never willfully humiliate a narcissist.

This timidity about incarcerating Drumpf for contempt is just one more example of giving him a pass for his rules violations. If we keep moving the red line, he will simply run to cross it to show who's "boss". Time for serial strong corrective punishments for this psychopath.

judge Chutkin proposed speeding up the trial if he violated the gag order. Why not do that here?

This is perfect! Make him wear an orange jumpsuit suit while he’s out on the side of the road (no MAGA hat or cellphone), provide a portable toilet that hasn’t been serviced in a while - and if it’s hot, even better. Don’t let the secret service participate; they can only watch. Peanut butter or bologna sandwich for lunch; water only to drink. Set a goal of how much trash he has to pick up (by weight?) and a minimum time he has to work each time he comes out (4-6 hours not counting transportation time?) until his hours are complete. And give him a limited time to fulfill his obligation. Maybe a Drill Sargent-type prison guard to keep him motivated and document his work/time would be a good idea. (I’m having too much fun with this!)

No. Make him work on a public golf course, cutting grass and raking sand traps!

I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!! Can he possibly be assigned to work in front of my apartment house in Manhattan????? ,…..or maybe it’s better to put him in some obscure part of an outer boroughs…not Staten Island, please too many F’g MAGAS there….but some place near a garbage dump…which is where he belongs!!!

Great idea! And those of us who live on Manhattan’s Upper West Side remember that there used to a huge sign on the southbound Henry Hudson Parkway announcing that “DONALD J. TRUMP” was responsible for keeping the highway clean. Never saw him out there. This penalty would make that absurd publicity stunt come true.

This would allow for the photo op of the century that I believe billions of people would see around the world. Love it.

I've always thought he should be made-up to look like a non-white person and sent out into the world without his phone for ummm..... a week. Of course we can't do that, but he could pick up trash, bag at grocery stores etc in poor areas. Any punishment would be welcome. And yes, he has looked thinner.
