Why stop at $250 million? Why not ask for a billion? Anyone know who is paying the legal fees?
I don't think he stands a chance--perhaps he should go check out Westmoreland vs. CBS.
And isn't the fact that Trump is urging a private citizen to sue a political enemy, a HUGE ethics violation?
I mean, we all know it is a jackass thing for a president of the US to do, but how many ethic violations does this guy and his admin get away with before something is done to contain this so-called president's moronic actions?
Vanity Fair: .... lawsuit is almost surely unwinnable...
in order to successfully sue the Post for damages, Sandmann’s lawyers will have to prove that the paper acted with malice—that is, with deliberate intent to hurt Sandmann, and with knowing disregard for the facts.
Covington Catholic Student Hired PR Firm Co-Founded by Mitch McConnell's Former Aide
RunSwitch PR has three senior members on its staff. Among those three, one of them, co-founder of the company Scott Jennings, has strong ties to Republican candidates for office and served for some time within the administration of a Republican president.
Jennings has held a senior position on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Kentucky) re-election campaigns. He’s also served as a senior adviser to Mitt Romney during his 2012 presidential run, and worked on Jeb Bush’s failed run for the GOP nomination in 2016.
Jennings also served in “key roles” on former President George W. Bush’s 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns, according to his bio on RunSwitch’s website. From 2005 to 2007, Jennings worked in a governmental role as Special Assistant to the President and Deputy White House Political Director.
ENCOURAGING LAWSUIT Trump encouraged a student from Covington Catholic High School, Nicholas Sandmann, who has filed a lawsuit against the Washington Post, tweeting, “Go get them Nick. Fake News!”
The Hebrew Israelites are not black Jews in addition to hating white people they also hate Jews. They are a racist hate group in addition they also hate black Africans. What bothers me most about this incident is that people continue to be ignorant of what these vile Hebrew Israelites stand for.
Some food for thought to chew on.
Quote:
What largely unifies the various sects today is a Black Nationalist concept of Judaism that (in not such a different way from Black Liberation Theology’s idea of Christianity or the Nation of Islam’s take on being a Muslim) sees African-Americans as God’s one and only chosen people.
Biblically and biologically, Black Hebrew Israelites see themselves as descendants of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. In the Old Testament, each tribe was named for a son of Jacob, himself the grandson of Abraham. They believe their ancestors were expelled from Israel in the year 70 A.D., then emigrated to West Africa, and were exported to North America as slaves. Today, they believe, the original Israelite tribes have modern equivalents: “the Negroes,” Puerto Ricans, American Indians, and nine other groups of brown-skinned New World inhabitants. They hold a grudge, meanwhile, against “continental Africans” who they believe sold them to the white man.
Of course, “real” Jews don’t consider them Jewish, and vice versa. Tom Metzger, the notorious leader of White Aryan Resistance, once said about them, “They’re the black counterpart of us.”
A white supremacist leader, Tom Metzger, once said of extremist Hebrew Israelites, “They’re the black counterparts of us,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The extremist white theology is known as Christian Identity, which has had some affiliated congregations in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
Hebrew Israelites believe African-Americans are God’s chosen people. The movement goes by several affiliated names.
There are extreme Black Israelite groups that espouse a theology that is a kind of color-reversed version of the religion of white-supremacist Christian Identity groups, believing that blacks are the true Hebrews and rightful heirs to Israel and whites are evil. The neo-Nazi Tom Metzger, leader of White Aryan Resistance, has said of such black supremacist groups, “They’re the black counterpart of us.”
A 2008 report from the SPLC said extremist Hebrew Israelites “have a long, strange list of enemies,” including white people, “fraudulent” Jews, Asians, continental Africans and gay people.

so..... there were no "ethics violations" by the media and thousands of other twitter and facebook celebrities and politicians who tried to destroy these kids lives? What would you do if your teenager had been subject to the same. including death threats? or maybe you never had children...………..
