Trump campaign sues CNN over ‘false and defamatory’ statements, seeks millions in damages

[jertheber]

Big yawn...Trump has been suing people for a long long time. Taking care of business in the Trump empire includes a view toward others as "the enemy. " and not just a few but most everyone he does business with. He's well known for his legal maneuvering when, asked to pay his bills, when found to be lying to various banks, or whenever he feels threatened by those he has screwed over. It's a bit humorous to know that the average Trump supporter hates lawsuits and favors tight regulation of tort laws. The incredible stumbling hulk, he just keeps thrashing about, slugging at windmills and suing anyone who crosses him, not really news though....

Some history here on the subject:

Old News and Not Exclusive: This is just the latest frivolous libel lawsuit from the Trump campaign against major media organizations in the past week and a half. It targeted the New York Times last week; The Post earlier this week; and now CNN.

These garbage suits are most likely all going to be tossed, according to legal experts, as they are political and fundraising stunts. There is no merit in any of them and this is a despicable, transparent and costly misuse of the judicial branch of our government. Trump never wins these because they are either thrown out or he withdraws them to avoid discovery.

Bread and circuses.
