Public Notice
Key point from this article is that the people that paid extortionist Trump WANTED TO
Tuesday was a busy day for Donald Trump at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. At the very moment he was arguing to revive a RICO trollsuit against Hillary Clinton, his effort to revive a defamation trollsuit against CNN got unceremoniously kicked to the curb.
It’s just another day in the life of the world’s most vexatious litigant. It’s also a potent reminder that, when media outlets stand up to the president’s shakedown lawsuits, they always win.
Trollsuits for fun and profit
Donald Trump spent much of his time out of office pursuing garbage lawsuits. He sued Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook for tortious deplatforming. He sued the Washington Post and New York Times over stories about the Mueller Report. He sued Simon & Schuster for publishing recordings made by Bob Woodward for his book “Rage.” He sued the Pulitzer Prize Board for refusing to retract prizes awarded in 2018. He sued New York Attorney General Letitia James twice. He sued Clinton, Jim Comey, Robert Mueller, Rod Rosenstein, the DNC, and half of DC for doing THE RICO to him. And he sued CNN for using the phrase “Big Lie,” which he said was defamatory.
Paying the blackmailer makes you look like a cowardly mark — both to your audience and to the guy grabbing you by the wallet. And with courts announcing that they won’t be part of the president’s extortion racket, media outlets need to toughen up and quit paying the vig.
The decision to sue South Park will demonstrate beyond any doubt that Donald Trump has such thin skin and a guilty conscience that he considers a cartoon joke intolerant. The damage from this lawsuit will cost Trump 500 billion laughs, and he won't be able to stop the total destruction of his image.
