Donald J. Trump lives in different Reality….
As President ?
He’s been trying to bend EVERYTHING to be the way he see’s it….
For his Republican party members?
He’s had his way…..
For the Federal Government ?
Partly….
For other countries?
Few….
Mostly NOT….
He’s even got most Democratic lawmakers to keep their mouth shut….
Cept Gavin Newsom….
Today he adds the NY Times to his list. ( WSJ, ABC, CBS)…
$15 Billion suit against the NY Times for soiling his image and hurting his feelings….
Image THAT?
A convicted Criminal President going after those reporting about his bending reality to his wishes….
A aging man, in ill health, with a oversized ego, driving a country down ward annoyed at those exposing him or?…. Not agreeing with his efforts…
President Trump on Monday filed a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times and four of its reporters, claiming the paper is a “a full-throated mouthpiece of the Democrat Party.”
Why it matters: Trump frequently sounds off on the Times’ coverage of his administration, campaigns, business dealings and legal cases. The suit is an escalation of his long-running feud with the news organization.
- “The ‘Times’ has engaged in a decades long method of lying about your Favorite President (ME!), my family, business, the America First Movement, MAGA, and our Nation as a whole,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday.
The other side: A spokesperson for The Times said in a statement provided to Axios that the lawsuit has “no merit.”
- “It lacks any legitimate legal claims and instead is an attempt to stifle and discourage independent reporting,” the statement read. “The New York Times will not be deterred by intimidation tactics.”
Driving the news: The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, points to three articles and “a malicious, defamatory, and disparaging book. It also points to the editorial board’s endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
- The suit alleges the book and articles were crafted “with actual malice, calculated to inflict maximum damage upon President Trump, and all published during the height of a Presidential Election.”
- Trump’s lawsuits claims the Times was striving to damage his business reputation, sabotage his candidacy and prejudice judges and juries in the legal cases against him in the lead-up to the 2024 election.
- After he won the election, the suit alleges, the Times still sought to “subject him to humiliation and ridicule.”….

Used to be a ‘Public Person’ gotta take the hit’s….
These suits would be thrown outta court from the jump….
That’s why the suit was filed in ‘friendly’ Florida?….
