In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump announced that he was revising a lawsuit against The New York Times to include the organization’s polling research, which currently shows him tanking on everything from the economy and immigration to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

    Would be nice if everyone start suing him, overwhelm him and his lawyers.

    How many frivolous lawsuits do we need to see tossed out before your ability to sue is at least put under stricter scrutiny?

    This is an intimidation law suit. The fact that its baseless won’t matter to others scared to speak out. He’s also suing JP Morgan, and ceo Jamie Dimon, for $5B as intimidation because Dimon, at Davos, said the WH should cool down the hostility over migration.

      On one hand, I’m genuinely curious to see how the JP Morgan suit pans out. They have vast financial resources, an army of lawyers, and unlike some of the other defendents in Trump’s recent lawsuits, a potentially dangerous precedent to be set by settling.

      On the other hand, they’re both scum and they deserve each other.

      That’s all he knows, how to bully and use any resources at his disposal that will accomplish that. Oh he also wants his bank account numbers going up, which again look at the first statement, is why he bullies. He also bullies for slights which were well earned.

      How anyone can see this person as a leader shows a huge lack in education, which is what the Republicans wanted but still this is like giving the world’s largest military to a toddler that has discount Goebbels (Miller) doing a ton of their work.

      The real question will be whether they’re dumb enough to settle with him, dumb enough to bow down and kiss his feet, knowing that as he’s proven time and time again that won’t stop him from coming after you in the future.

        CBS, Disney, Columbia U have all bowed down to him. These suits are too frivolous to settle, and they turn NYT, Dimon, Powell, Cook into DNC idols somehow. The purpose is entirely to cower everyone else into submission, and the sycophants to rage against DNC idols and cheer for his anger, in distraction of “tough guy failure” for a European solution to Greenland, or his Mossad agent BFF who suicided in impossible manner under his watch.

      “Yes sir, your new clothes are fabulous! What’s that, they look and feel like there’s nothing there? And all the peasants are laughing at you for being naked? No no! The clothes are meant to feel and look that way! Everything is fine!”

    I mean in his experience there’s definitely a chance they just give him $20 million so why wouldn’t he, this is actually rational when you’ve been allowed to follow toddler logic for a while

    Presidents are generally immune from lawsuits because we don’t want them being distracted by them, yet this guy can sue whoever he wants?

    NYT times should countersue. Why not? We’ll see if they can use the ancient legal theory of “He started it!”

        No…the country is CURRENTLY run by a cabal of rapists, sociopaths & pedophiles.

        But not being able to sue the president was in effect long before this shit clown came to be.

      NYT […] should countersue.

      I love this for him so much. Let the NYT countersue and force them to declare suing polls as part of his duties or pay up on a 1A fault.

      By all counts of the last year, this childfucker can clearly do whatever he wants… up to and including rape children.

    Funny, I thought he doesn’t read the Times because it’s such a “failing” paper and he doesn’t associate with losers.
