Frivolous law suit, but disclosure would be interesting. redstatebluegirl Apr 2020 #6

I could imagine lots of outside funding to defend that station; discovery will be delicious. lagomorph777 Apr 2020 #10

Trump will argue that he libeled himself. So the ad can't be broadcast. nt NCjack Apr 2020 #7

drumpf will lose because the ad only shows his words. However, when it loses, he will take it to SCOTUS who will have an emergency videoconference to stop it. In the meantime it will hopefully continue running and do damage to the fake drumpf desired image of being in charge.

Trump has done this his whole life, hoping that the person he sues will just fold before it gets very far. He knows most people don'thave the money to fight him. But this time he is barking up the wrong tree. No media outlet is going to fold that way.
