    I'm surprised that it took this long. The question is who has he not sued?

    Watch him play the victim card as the case either goes away or he loses the case. More fundraising no doubt as CNN is almost as big a bogie man as Hilary and Hunter Biden in maga world.

    Trump claims CNN's use of the term "the big lie" damaged Trump by associating him with Hitler.

    I bet most of the Trump's uneducated base didn't get the reference, and for those that did, it just further endeared him to them...

    I hope they force Trump to pay CNN's attorneys' fees when he loses.

    I'd like to see Trump sue somebody for calling his relationship with Stormy Daniels "the big lay."

    How was he damaged? He grifted $250M off of it. CNN should ask for a brokerage commission.

    this. he pays a minimal filing fee to make a big headline and then fails to respond to anything else likely because he failed to pay the attorney that filed the suit, all to play the victim card and then fund raise off of it.

    As I recall, that was a valid question as early as the 1980s.

    I don’t suppose there’s any way to have a consolidated “Trump Does Something Stupid” thread just as we have a single thread on the invasion of Ukraine?

    I wonder how much of his annual income is used to pay attorneys’ fees.

    How much? Since the guy reports almost no income or even negative income to the IRS, and uses grifter money to pay attorney fees, the answer is ∞%.

    'The Big Grift', could be another winning book title as it is a long story.

    As soon as he is deposed by CNN's attorneys he will drop the lawsuit. It's virtually certain that Donald Trump a pathological liar who is incapable of telling the truth would never allow himself to be placed in a situation in which he has to answer questions under oath.

    Perhaps surprisingly, a large percentage of the people he's threatened to sue. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he's threatened to sue just about everyone with a recognizable name.

    I like the idea, but if we boil it down to that generic, such a thread would be effectively useless. He does something stupid practically every day.

    More than stupid. What he does is evil and destructive
