In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump announced that he was revising a lawsuit against The New York Times to include the organization’s polling research, which currently shows him tanking on everything from the economy and immigration to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
This is an intimidation law suit. The fact that its baseless won’t matter to others scared to speak out. He’s also suing JP Morgan, and ceo Jamie Dimon, for $5B as intimidation because Dimon, at Davos, said the WH should cool down the hostility over migration.
On one hand, I’m genuinely curious to see how the JP Morgan suit pans out. They have vast financial resources, an army of lawyers, and unlike some of the other defendents in Trump’s recent lawsuits, a potentially dangerous precedent to be set by settling.
On the other hand, they’re both scum and they deserve each other.
The real question will be whether they’re dumb enough to settle with him, dumb enough to bow down and kiss his feet, knowing that as he’s proven time and time again that won’t stop him from coming after you in the future.
CBS, Disney, Columbia U have all bowed down to him. These suits are too frivolous to settle, and they turn NYT, Dimon, Powell, Cook into DNC idols somehow. The purpose is entirely to cower everyone else into submission, and the sycophants to rage against DNC idols and cheer for his anger, in distraction of “tough guy failure” for a European solution to Greenland, or his Mossad agent BFF who suicided in impossible manner under his watch.
That’s all he knows, how to bully and use any resources at his disposal that will accomplish that. Oh he also wants his bank account numbers going up, which again look at the first statement, is why he bullies. He also bullies for slights which were well earned.
How anyone can see this person as a leader shows a huge lack in education, which is what the Republicans wanted but still this is like giving the world’s largest military to a toddler that has discount Goebbels (Miller) doing a ton of their work.
