'Itching to check out Rikers': Internet erupts after Trump appears to violate gag order

Donald Trump on Wednesday struck out at jurors in his criminal case over alleged hush money payments and falsification of business records, leaving the internet to speculate about what will happen next.

Trump earlier in the day quoted Fox News host Jesse Watters' apparent attack against "lying" jurors. Legal professionals suggested it was a clear violation of the gag order, and speculated that the judge will likely agree with the prosecutors' perspective on that topic.

Social media users also chimed in on what it means.

Huffington Post reporter S.V. Date said, "Looks like someone's itching to check out Rikers for a bit."

"Trump shares conspiracy theory about his jury," said the popular "Patriot Takes" account.

@anyonewantchips wrote, "Trump just violated his gag order again by posting an attack on the jury. Time for Judge Merchan to lock him up."

On the other side, Trump loyalist Tom Fitton had this to say about the post:

"Trump raises questions about corruption in the jury selection process," he wrote Wednesday.

Legal analyst and MSNBC host Katie Phang didn't hold back in her analysis, suggesting the former president tried to get around the gag order but ended up stepping in a trap instead.

"By 'reposting' or 'retyping' or 'quoting' those lies by Jess Watters, Trump thinks he's too clever by half," she wrote Wednesday evening. "He's in for a rude awakening."

She then added, "He has violated the expanded gag order."
