from what i can see this is an absolute loser of a case. my guess is that he's just posturing for his base and this will have the same outcome as when he sued bill maher for $10million for defamation. trump ( and then attorney micheal cohen ) made a big deal in the press when they filed the case but quietly dropped the suit a few weeks later, knowing that they didn't have a case ( maher's claims that trump was the spawn of an orangutan were obvious satire and immune from defamation lawsuits ).
What a yawner. It's just another Trump distraction tactic. Same old Roy Cohn mafia lawyer strategy we've seen from the beginning.

While it won't go anywhere, it's some new red meat to throw to his simple minded base. The fools will eat it up, and he knows it.

The fine print said that the hole at to be at least x amount of yards long to claim the prize. The tee markers were too close to the hole and the winner was denied the million. He took it to court and Trump was fined somewhere around 100K which he proceeded to steal from his charity.

Trump is the only billionaire I've ever seen who trips over dollars to pick up nickels.
If he can't grift, he can't make any money.

And has Rittenhouse even filed a defamation suit yet? A bit early for a victory lap there.

Not going anywhere. Just posturing.

Not sure of your pay-walled source but try to keep up with reality. Both WAPO and CNN have settled and other suits are ongoing.

On a scale of 1 to 10 for collecting on defamation.

Sandman was like a 10. (minor, non-public figure, attacked with no due diligence, did nothing to make himself *famous*.)
Rittenhouse maybe a 3-4. (Semi-public figure due to criminal charges but pretty bad coverage at times)
Trump is a -1,000,000,000. He's a public figure, you can pretty much do whatever you want there.

He has a net worth of $3B. He’s not missing picking up any dollars, but it’s funny how folks think they know how and what he should do with his finances.
