1. They need to sue Trump. He is slandering their paper.

The President of the US is openly and repeatedly slandering some of the largest media companies in America, dragging their reputations through the mud, hurting their shareholders, and hurting their business prospects. There is no way in hell that the President of the United States, the most powerful man in the planet, should be able to actively lie and falsely accuse papers of printing lies, when everything they have reported has been true.

7. pResident Libel Bully needs to be given a taste of his own medicine

He can dish out the libel, but I know for a fact that he won't be able to take it.

Media, go ahead and sue the living crap out of tRump and if that won't shut him up, maybe losing his entire so-called fortune just might.

2. This editorial will be understood and appreciated by the sane voters, however,

Trump voters will either not read it or simply dismiss it.

6. Sad but true.

Hard for me to see a long range outcome that is ... well, painless.

3. Therew better as hell be a bombshell coming out soon from somewhere because we know the GOP

will refuse to do their patriotic duty.

Patriotism means absolutely nothing to republicans.

5. Remember Trump and his zero source story that Obama's birth certificate was fake?

The Liar in Chief, the so-called President is at it again, lying like there is no tomorrow.

[KPN]
