  1. I hope he sues McDonald's for giving him a small BigMac.

  2. Trump can’t handle the truth.

  3. Trump is a Domestic Terrorist.

  4. Al he knows how to do is sue people.

  5. Best of luck !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    So Biden can sue Fox for all their BS !

  6. MAGA donors: stop donating to the gift fund. Take your family on a trip, even a nice day-away trip and get a break from the drama king…he loves to keep the drama cranked up. It's his MO. He must always be at the center of attention whether it's positive from you or negative from the rest of us. Attention 24x7x365, he craves it.
    Reconnect with your family especially the kids, you will never get back the time and money you waste in him.

  7. 2. Donald Trump claimed that the 2020 was stolen. There were numerous irregularities observed in those hotly contested states such as Pennsylvania. Instead of using investigative journalism to find out the truth, there were zero effort by mass media to find out whether Democrats were really cheating during the election. From Washington Post to NY Times, CNN to NBC, they simply asserted that Donald Trump “falsely claimed the election was stolen”. Period. No investigation even to the now famous Biden’s curve. While we are not suggesting that the 2020 election is crooked in favour of Biden, it is worthwhile for mainstream mass media to get to the bottom of this case. Many US voters doubted the legitimacy of the Biden administration. If US spent millions of dollars to ensure fair election in Iraq & Afghanistan, why no one in mass media care about the fairness of the 2020 election? Indeed, unfair election in 2020 and Hunter Biden became forbidden words in mainstream mass media. Mainstream media seem to forget that they are supposed to report the truth and they are making themselves the propaganda apparatus of Democrats. If the election was really fraudulent, mainstream media may assist to send a mentally decayed old man to the White House to manage the most powerful country in the world facing challenges from axes of evil. Under mainstream mass media and Democrats, US is moving towards the path of China and Russia: hatred of free speech, cannot tolerate different opinions, big government, weaponizing legal means & IRS to attack political opponents etc. You have a AG of NY devoted full time to attack Donald Trump. Apparently she forgets that her duties are to serve the people of NY, not for her personal vendetta. In short, mass media & Democrats are extremely efficient in destroying the fundamental values upon which this great Republic is built.

  8. The mainstream mass media devoted all their energies to attack Donald Trump during and after his presidency & portrayed Trump like “an enemy of the state”, a “racist” and “sexist”. So why mainstream media hatred Trump that much. The major reason is that Donald Trump exposed the biased reporting & false news spread by mainstream mass media. Only 36% US adults trusted mass media (Source: Politics as of Oct/21) and this figure is decreasing rapidly in 2022. Two cases to illustrate this point. 1. Hunter Biden: No mass media is taking the lead to investigate what is inside Hunter Biden’s laptop and his real relationship with China. It is confirmed that he received money from CCP through his association with a Chinese energy company. You have a son of the President of the US that received money from a country that threatened to use nuclear weapon to wipe out LA but mainstream media kept silent. (TBC)

  9. Wishes he sues NBC too

  10. Sue for me to could you? 🤟

  11. Trump 2024 🤍❤💙

  12. So Trump is arguing that the term Big Lie is a false claim because his claim about the election being stolen is not false? Good luck with that.

  13. Cnn has always told false stories but sometimes I got to deal with arrogant hot heads telling false stories about me so cnn telling false stories about Trump that is dishonest

  14. Ha ha if he was smart he would save that money to fight the many more battles geared to placing him in jail

  15. Yes Trump needs to sue CNN along with MSNBC!

  16. it's fox that should be sued ,I watch both sides to be able to form a true opinion

  17. CNN pls don't settle. The case can be dismissed on summary judgment.

  18. why would they settle look at all the racist comments trump has made and his affiliation he and his chronies have with racist groups

  19. Defamation is being honest about trump. 🤔🤔🤔

  20. Hahaha, who in their right mind thinks CNN is anything but a corrupt propaganda tool for the left?

  21. Seems like Delaying tactics as he’s facing a multitude of lawsuits!

  22. It's true. CNN spread lies about Trump. And they ignore or cover up all the Biden family business that is illegal. Can anyone explain how Hunter got so rich? All the while smoking crack and bussing in hookers from out of state? CNN is fake news. If it's not why are ratings down?

  23. Trump "defamed" HIMSELF, period. The near illiterate CON MAN is a DISGRACE, through and through, absolute DISGRACE. Media is not supposed to report on the ILLITERATE DUMMY? Too bad, CRY MAGATS! Besides, its not "slander" when its the TRUTH.

  24. TRUMP – 2022 ?

    Honor, morality, faith and integrity

    Are the glue which holds society in place.

    Pornography, hate, jealousy and greed

    Cause man to be plagued by disgrace.

    Night and day we’re informed by headlines

    Which seem to give evil added time.

    Always at war killing one another

    In our world full of violence and crime.

    The mad dogs of man refuse to repent

    For they have no sense of guilt nor sorrow.

    Worshiping hate and the dark side of life

    Abusing victims past, present and tomorrow.

    We think highly of those who create

    Goodness and beauty around them.

    But those who squander their lives away

    Our predictions for them are grim.

    The fame of people should always be

    Estimated by the means they used.

    It’s human breath that promotes most fame

    Often unwholesome and abused.

    The perfume of good deeds projects fame

    Performed by those with great passion.

    Not by persons in corrupt temples

    Whose honesty, they must ration.

  25. Oh courses they ain't buying it lol they don't buy anything with trumps name on it but watch them go down

  26. I don’t know if it will happen but I hope Trump is able to sue CNN. It’s time to hold MSM accountable for their lies.

  27. CNN is not perfect. Even a lefty like me knows that. CNN is at least grounded in reality, regardless of how bias it is. It’s very clear what they are not doing what Info Wars and Brietbart do and have done.

  28. Watch Trump run CNN 6 feet into the ground. Another common Trump W

  29. CNN should return the favor and Sue Trump for calling them “Fake News”… make him prove it 🫤
