While he was walking into the courtroom Trump was asked about Taylor Swift's new secret double album and he did not respond. Boo.

Trump is gagged.
He can't respond to anything.

Trump regularly engages with the press before and after he walks into the courtroom.  The question was dumb (no offense, TayTay, your album is fire), but the gag order isn't a giant blanket "you can't talk about anything and everything, or else...".   He's just not allowed to discuss witnesses, jurors, or pretty much any personnel involved with the case.

A 2nd alternate has been seated (they need 4 more). Apparently several prospective jurors have gotten emotional in questioning this morning, including a woman recounting her experience being sexually assaulted.

Now 4 alternates seated. It moves fast once they remove everyone in the group who can't be impartial.

A man just set himself on fire outside the courthouse, reporters saw it live. Unclear if it's related to this.

Regardless of why this person set themselves on fire (who knows, it could have even been a way to get more attention about some totally different issue like Israel/Palestine or something), I think it is a clear signal that security should be increased further for everything involving this trial, because if that can happen, who knows what else could happen in the area of people involved in the trial.

Judge Merchan should make some further orders and provisions to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone involved in the trial in any way.

As of now, no. But the judge could change that. It's also possible they could be sequestered for deliberations only.

Especially given the fire issue, I hope so.

That is a clear signal not to mess around or take any chances with this, if there was any doubt before.

The videos don't load unless you click on them. The tweet itself has a message *WARNING GRAPHIC* (as if the headline,  "Man sets himself on fire" isn't enough of a warning for those who don't wish to see it). You didn't have to click play. Thank you

They’re apparently holding a Sandoval hearing. If the judge rules they can’t bring in prior bad acts, will they basically have to exclude Trump’s entire life?

Very cool that multiple people are setting themselves on fire in public now because TikTok, Fox News, etc told them to. First that pro-Hamas lunatic a few months ago, now this MAGA nut job.

For this kind of situation I think it's best to just provide a link to the tweet along with a graphic content warning, instead of embedding it.
