 A few thoughts about the gag order: 

🔹 it is narrowly tailored (don't talk about court staff) 

🔹Trump has no excuses: he doesn't have to talk about court staff as part of his campaigning and they're not speaking publically about him so he has no need to respond

🔹the court staff are not public figures or government officials so it reduces the 1st A issues

Generally, prior restraints are allowable if narrowly tailored to prevent immediate likely harm.
