Contempt of court is a court order which the court declares a person to have disobeyed or been disrespectful of the court's authority. Often referred to simply as "contempt," such as a person "held in contempt," it is the judge's strongest power to impose sanctions for acts which disrupt the court's normal process.
A finding of contempt of court may result from a failure to obey a lawful order of a court, showing disrespect for the judge, disruption of the proceedings through poor behavior, or publication of material deemed likely to jeopardize a fair trial. A judge may impose sanctions such as a fine or jail for someone found guilty of contempt of court.
He's literally done all four things that you can do to be found guilty of contempt.
1. Disobeyed the order
2. Disrespected the judge who made it
3. Disrespected the trustee
4. Tweeted bullshit about it publicly the whole time
