Clay Travis Thinks Trump Should Get Himself Sent to Prison By Deliberately ‘Goading’ Judge and Violating Gag Orders

Fox News’ Jesse Watters and Clay Travis were giddy over the ramifications of Donald Trump potentially going to jail amid his legal battles.

Watters used his show on Tuesday night to sneer at the U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan’s reinstatement of Trump’s gag order in his Washington D.C. election subversion case. The Fox host focused on how Eric Holder recently expressed reservations about jailing Trump. However, Watters skipped over the part where the former attorney general said “any other defendant would probably” face jail if Trump were a “normal person.”

When Watters brought Travis on for his thoughts, the Outkick founder spoke positively about how Trump would politically benefit from getting sent to prison.

“Getting arrested before the trials even began and getting put in jail would one billion percent be beneficial to him because it delegitimizes all of the already illegitimate trials,” said Travis. “I would be goading. I would be trying to get these judges to put me in jail at this point if I were Trump because I think it benefits him.”

Watters clearly agreed, snickering “me too” during Travis’ argument. He then sarcastically asked, “Do you think Trump is gonna respect the gag order?… No one can shut him up!”

This eventually brought Watters to his other question: “What would be the one thing he should say to get hit with the gag? It’s gotta be a good one! It’s got to be juicy.”

Travis laughed before giving his answer:

I think just pointing out that Judge Chutkan has already decided that he needs to be imprisoned, and that she has no business whatsoever actually sitting for this trial, and that he welcomes her trying to put him in prison because she has no ability to do it. Calling out her lack of power, I think that might be the ultimate trigger for her.

“It’s going to be a special one, whatever that post is,” Watters relished.

As Watters and Travis seriously considered Trump going to jail as a smart tactic, they failed to address the reasons why the ex-president was placed under his gag orders.

In Trump’s civil business fraud trial, he was fined twice for violating the order that forbids him from attacking or intimidating the court’s staff. As for the election subversion case, Trump was gagged out of concern that his charged rhetoric could undermine the case by intimidating witnesses, fomenting threats against the case’s key actors, and tainting the jury pool.
