Trump’s threatened Trevor Noah lawsuit won’t even reach a jury

[Conservative from Georgia]

That you’re a putz.

lol. See? Wanna know if I conservative is full of shit? Just ask him what he think is gonna happen.

This feels less like law and more like a tantrum dressed up as a lawsuit. Donald J. Trump threatening to sue Trevor Noah over a joke just screams legal illiteracy: satire and opinion are protected by the First Amendment, and public figures face a brutal defamation standard. No false statement of fact, no provable “actual malice,” no real damages..,so this dies at the pleadings.

Translation: lots of bluster, zero case, and a very short trip to dismissal.

Why do you call yourself a "Conservative"?
You despise conservatives.
Your avatar is Ronald Reagan. He would be appalled by your viewpoints.
What a bizarre person you must be.

Hi Lockback. What do you think about the lawsuit?

It really doesn't matter. He's just going to threaten and intimidate anyone who tries to hold him accountable in any way.

And of course, that spreads to anyone else who would even consider it. So the lawsuit itself is damn near irrelevant.

That's not going to stop. It's a natural impulse for authoritarians, especially those who are hypersensitive like Trump.

and the left has been hypersensitive about Trump for over 10 yrs .. face it ... MAGA is here to stay !

Yep. He hopes that this intimidation will cause fewer people to mock him.

Because he is the biggest baby in the history of anything.

 

[Leo123]

Actually, Trumps felony crimes started it

No, Democrats making up supposed crimes Trump committed started it.

 

[Hollie]

TRump is a convicted felon
The only reason he got away with other felony charges was not because he was innocent but because he was elected President

Another of your goofy conspiracy theories.

Poor, angry POC. Can’t get over cackles losing the election.

Trump has succeeded in triggering TDSers. Again.......

Trump got triggered by Noah and Leo isn’t confident about the tantrum/lawsuit.
Leo pretends Trump being triggered equals Trump triggering others.

You helped to destroy the tea party due to most of the men and women running for office being regular peasants. You infected it with some frauds and the party eventually atrophied as the peasants running were mocked, smeared and worse.

This has become a litigious society. Unfortunately it's Democrats and "Lawfare" that started it all.

Trump had over over 3000 lawsuits before he was ever elected president. Trump used the legal process like a cudgel to screw over hundreds of contractors and vendors.

So spare me your idiocy of lawfare. Trump invented law fare.

 

[rightwinger]

Fuk him if he can’t take a joke

On election night in 2016 Hillary Clinton was the biggest infant in human history. She drugged and drank herself into a stupor and could not even make a concession speech. She had the pizza pedophile talk for her. Trump knows now what he did not know then.

Noah doesn't know the difference between a joke and an accusation of child molestation. Trump was correct to threaten the dufus. No, I am not confident that a lawsuit against Noah would go forth because there are too many far left judges but I'm happy Trump punched back.

Yeah screwing over those who provided services to you is “smart” business. That is true only to the MAGA cult.

And there it is, ladies and gentlemen. This Trump lover finally admits his lawsuit ain’t going anywhere. Exactly as stated in my title.

I actually think this particular lawsuit could merit going to trail if they can prove it is a false statement and can quantify some sort of actual damage. It shouldn't even take 5 minutes to prove the actual malice given Noah's record.

I think Trump should just let it go. But I also think it’s telling that all these comedians have no material other than to attack Trump. I also think it’s telling that the audience that he’s playing to has no sense of humor other than when it comes to attack Trump.
