It's a good question. Protective order would have to very narrowly tailored. First Amendment considerations are real, but 1A protection does not attach to speech intended & highly likely to incite imminent lawless action.
If the judge considers imposing a protective order, he'd first have to decide whether Donald's current attacks on DA Bragg & the judge himself rise to the level of incitement of imminent lawless action so as to not be protected by the First Amendment.
Judge Juan Merchan will likely impose a protective order if he decides that Donald's attacks are highly likely to incite attacks on officers of the court - including himself. When he does that, he will have to specify what Donald cannot speak about.

Establishment GOP is rising up against American rule of law. They aren't being subtle about it either. They have weaponized House resources to defend Donald Trump in the court of public opinion. They've gone as far as intimidating prosecutors.
Twitter will soon be flooded with NRA bots defending guns by lying about the 2nd Amendment. There are many interpretations of the 2nd Amendment. In no interpretation is killing innocent civilians - including children - a purpose for which the right can be asserted.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." archives.gov/founding-docs/…
