Donald Trump could be forced to have a timeout if he keeps misbehaving, Jimmy Fallon quipped Thursday.
The Tonight Show host was reacting to a Business Insider article about what might happen if the former president continues to violate a gag order in his hush money trial in New York.
Jailing Trump on contempt would likely mean locking him up for an hour or 2 behind the courtroom, experts predict, the article was headlined.
Business Insider cited legal experts who suggested that Trump could be ordered to spend a short stint in a secure space behind the Manhattan courtroom as punishment for being held in contempt of court. One attorney said it was a way for a judge to give a defendant a taste of jail so they understand the seriousness of their situation.
In other words, Trump would be the first former president to be given a timeout, Fallon cracked as he began to laugh. And if that doesnt work, theyre going to take away his iPad and no dessert for a week.
