the standard of proof for label/slander against a public political figure is extremely high. so to answer your question ( tho i doubt you were looking for one ) is no, thier chances of winning would be next to zero.

So, should the Trump family sue for all the lies and outright distortions the media gleefully tells?

Will it make them more careful in their reporting knowing they will be held to account?

And I am referring to STRAIGHT news, not opinion from liberal pundits at MSNBC-unless they claim lies as facts
Did anything happen to Trump when he falsely accused Obama of not being born in the USA?

But Trump, like the coward he is, formally apologized in a news conference, admitting he was wrong and saying that Barack WAS born in the USA.

If Trump and his family of thieves, liars, and swindlers tried to sue anyone for what they said about him the suit would be laughed out of court faster than you can say maga.

And it isn't illegal to criticize the President...yet at least.

(sigh)

They are reporting AS FACT that Trump colluded..no evidence has been offered to prove it.

Can you not see the difference? They dont say "Trump allegedly colluded, or Trump is suspected of collusion..No, they say "We have new information regarding Trump colluding with Russia".

Get it now?

No, they’re reporting on an investigation that is going on, which is a fact.
What lies?

What lies has the MEDIA told about Trump? List them. I know it's hard when Trump is the liar.

Trump is a frequent liar. He might win a settlement by out spending an opponent in legal fees until they cry uncle, but do you really believe he'd win any slander or libel suit that went to trial?

Attorney: State your full name please

Trump: Donald Just the best at everything ever Trump.

Judge: OK, I find for the defendant. Case dismissed.

You were kidding with this thread, right?
