Do you think Barack Obama will sue Donald Trump for Libel?

[Saboburns]

Cause personally, I've never seen a clearer case.

Link to tweet

Whoops igoofed. It's Libel when it's written. I apologize

[nolabear]

1. Can he? That would be fun. I doubt it though.

He'll be his usual classy, capable, intelligent self.

[Saboburns]

4. I'm not sure about that. I think he just might.

I would.

[elleng]

2. No, I doubt we'll hear anything more on the subject from POTUS-O.

[madaboutharry]

3. President Obama always takes the high road.

He is also a chess player. He'll just let Trump self-destruct.

[AgadorSparticus]

5. Obama has thick skin. And he is pretty darn smart.

I would think Obama is loving this. When cheeto is spinning out of control, you don't interrupt him.

[Saboburns]

7. Oh President Obama won't stop the fun

He's got at least a full year to file it.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen a clearer case.

[AgadorSparticus]

10. He definitely could. But that would be crumbs compared to what is coming up

He has much bigger fish to fry. I think it wouldn't even be worth his time.

[juxtaposed]

6. ignore is the best thing, never lower ones self to there level

[littlemissmartypants]

8. Never.

What would be the benefit?

[Saboburns]

9. Because a sitting President just told a huge frigging lie about him.

I mean. That's what Libel is.

Winning a Libel case doesn't make you look bad. It makes the Loser of a Libel case look bad.

[littlemissmartypants]

12. I don't know. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

There have been so many twists and turns in this saga it's mind blowing as it is! Thanks for the reply, Saboburns.

11. Clear case of libel

and the finest example of projecting I've ever seen on Twitter.

Here is a man widely considered to be sick in the head, calling Obama a sick man.

Here is a man embroiled in a major scandal, accusing Obama of being mired in one as well (without a shred of proof).

Here is a man who practically begged Wikileaks for more info, lamenting the desecration of our election process.

The nerve of this clown! Oh, and it's spelled "tap", you brainless scumbag!

[Mr. Ected]

13. Donald Trump has libeled and slandered President Obama since 2008

By now, BO is accustomed to the disrespect but knows that it does little to harm him economically or by reputation. It's basically "consider the source".

I think Obama will gently coax the ensuing legal nightmare for Trump to fruition.

Donald Trump is going down. His presidency, his brand, his so-called fortune.

Just turn on the fan after you flush, Obama. The orange one is gonna stink.

[Saboburns]

14. Also

Because it would put a stop to his infantile, foolish, and embarrassing tweets.

A win-win.

You want to take it easy on Donald?

Read the fucking tweet. He just lied about a damn fine man.

Wake up people. Our Country is at stake.

Oh we shouldn't dump that British tea in Bay, some people might not like it.

[Saboburns]

15. Maybe you noticed

That they own all 3 branches of government. And elected Donald Trump as President.

And I, for one, am tired of being called a pussy.

In case nobody has told you. THEY'RE KICKING OUR ASSES.

[Doreen]

16. No, Obama has much more class than that.

He does not play the childish tit for tat.

[Saboburns]

18. Sigh

Thank you sir, may I have another.

[grantcart]

17. There is no basis for libel

a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation.

To establish a basis for libel you would have to demonstrate that the published statements damaged his reputation. Nothing Trump says could damage the Presidents reputation.

The President would have to establish damages. The President and Mrs. Obama just set a record $ 60 million advance, his reputation isn't damaged and the more Trump insults the President the more people respect him.

[Saboburns]

19. Yeah y'all are probably right.

Best to go along to get along.

[Saboburns]

20. Obama could rid the world of Trump forevermore

And you think it's a bad idea.

What am I missing here?
