Jon McHenry’s comments to The Boston Globe regarding the gag order in Donald Trump’s New York case:
Complying with the gag order is not in Trump’s DNA, said Republican pollster Jon McHenry.
“He is never going to admit that he’s wrong, and he feels like if you don’t make your case, you’re weak,” McHenry said. “If he just sits and abides by the gag order, as virtually any other defendant would, he’s just letting the prosecution make their case against him, day after day, week after week, potentially.”
Any fines would easily be offset by the fund-raising Trump could do off it, McHenry said.
“The first time he gets fined, there’s going to be a fund-raising email that goes out to small donors saying, ‘Help me fight this corrupt judge and give me the money to pay off these fines so I can continue to speak,’ ” McHenry said. “That email is probably already written. And it just needs a date put in it.”
