I have always been here
People who support Trump are always claiming that Trump never loses in the courts. When I reply with "Trump did not win in court." One big comeback is "Trump won against Stephanopoulos' and his network" which of course is blatantly false as reality is that Stephanopoulos' employer 'settled" in court
Trump did not "win in court."
and a fuller context would add:
"Still, a federal judge in New York later ruled that it was accurate to say that Trump was found liable for rape in “common modern parlance.”"
In order to praise Trump, his supporters can only misrepresent facts. I feel for them, I really do.
Here we have another case of Maga Winning!
A federal judge in Tampa struck down President Donald Trump’s $15 billion defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, saying that the 85-page complaint was “decidedly improper and impermissible” under the rules governing civil proceedings in federal court.
U.S. District Judge Steven D. Merryday, an appointee of President George H.W. Bush, issued a scathing ruling on Friday, lambasting the president and his lawyers for the lawsuit.
“In this action, a prominent American citizen (perhaps the most prominent American citizen) alleges defamation by a prominent American newspaper publisher (perhaps the most prominent American newspaper publisher) and by several other corporate and natural persons,” he wrote. “Alleging only two simple counts of defamation, the complaint consumes eighty-five pages. Count I appears on page eighty, and Count II appears on page eighty-three.”

The White House declined to comment.
“President Trump will continue to hold the Fake News accountable through this powerhouse lawsuit against the New York Times, its reporters, and Penguin Random House, in accordance with the judge’s direction on logistics,” a spokesperson for Trump’s legal team wrote in a statement.
In addition to the legal issues at hand, Merryday bemoaned the writing.
“The reader of the complaint must labor through allegations, such as ‘a new journalistic low for the hopelessly compromised and tarnished ‘Gray Lady.' The reader must endure an allegation of ‘the desperate need to defame with a partisan spear rather than report with an authentic looking glass’ and an allegation that ‘the false narrative about ‘The Apprentice’ was just the tip of Defendants’ melting iceberg of falsehoods.’”
The judge said every lawyer should know that a complaint is not a “public forum for vituperation and invective” nor a “megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally or the functional equivalent of the Hyde Park Speakers’ Corner.”
The judge said a new complaint may be filed within 28 days and must be under 40 pages long.
