Donna has every right to go after Trump
Donna has every right to go after Trump
No, friend. She would just end up owing money. It's the same reason why Trump can't sue me for saying he is a moron and should be in prison.
Why do you want to give Trump the power to sue people who say he is an idiot?
He already does!! Where have you been!
Can you cite the case where Trump succeeded in suing someone for calling him dumb? Please be specific in your citation.
Anything here?
So when Colbert called Trump "Just plain dumb" Trump sued for defamation?
He freakin sued CBS for billions! And got 16 million.
What's the case number and which specific cause of action was over being called "dumb?"
Yes. Because they settled to bribe him. So unless you think Trump has a good reason to wanna Bribe Donna Brazile, Cliffords v Trump. Where Trump got $300,000.
Probably already has!
He has not. Whether or not you consider someone "dumb" is purely dependent on your own personal views and definition of what you consider to be "dumb." As such, it can't be proven false and isn't actionable in a US Court.
They called him dumb, when clearly he can't stop blabbering, and therefore isn't a literal pile of feces.

No part of that case was about calling someone dumb, either. Would you like to try again?
Sorry, whack job. Read the article!
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled last fall that Trump defamed Carroll by saying in 2019 that he had never met her and that her book, in which she accused him of having raped her in the dressing room of a luxury department store in the mid-1990s, “should be sold in the fiction section.”
He is the president of the United States!! And has a huge platform. Sorry, you are wrong about this.
Reach isn't an element of defamation.
You're making an ethical argument rather than a legal argument. He *should* not say things like that; there is no legal mechanism to prevent him from doing so.
Ironically that makes it harder for him to have defamed her because then you have sovereign immunity and Westfall to contend with. But you aren't ready for that stuff yet.
He only has immunity if it’s part of his presidential duties. Name calling and defaming a reporter would not be considered presidential duties… But, you don’t want to hear about that
Unless it gets Westfalled which is up to the DOJ and which courts have given an incredible amount of leeway on. But they won't need to Westfall it. Because they can win on MTD and then rule 11 or Anti-Slapp her into owing Trump hundreds of thousands of dollars.
He has not. We would be able to see it if he did. But he has not.

Nothing in the lawsuit was over being called dumb. Would you like to try again?
Which was not ruled on before Paramount decided to bribe trump.
Bribe? Last time I checked, it was Trump suing CBS? No?! Also, got Colbert fired.
Yes. Bribe. Trump sued. Paramount wanted to do a merger that Trump controls if it happens or not They settled Surprise merger approved! Bribe.
She has every right to go after you or me too. You can always file a suit. There just wouldn't be any point in doing it
Absolutely! If I have personal-distress or lose my job? Yes
I said she has every right to *go after you,* Rob, not that you have every right to sue. She has the same right to sue you that she does to sue Trump. She could sue either of you if she wants, but neither of you have defamed her, so what would be the point?
This is getting no where. Dude, he slandered her and asked for her firing. She has every right to sue him. End of story.
He didn't. This isn't slander under US law.
"every right to sue" is a meaningless phrase. That's the point I'm making to you. She has the right to sue you or me to. Having the right to sue someone doesn't mean that you actually have a valid case.
He didn't slander her, and if she sued it will go for her like it did for Stormy Daniels, with her owing Trump money The day you want to stop being like maga and understand why things work the way they do, let us know.
The freakin PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA just called a person dumb on a national platform and called for her firing. If that’s not slander, I don’t know what is.
That's right You don't know what is. Statements of opinion can never be slander unless they are based on undisclosed facts. No matter who says them.
What part of reputation are you not understanding? And you wonder why Florida is such a backward state
The part where that is one element of the tort. Its like saying someone did a murder because they had intent to kill but the victim is still alive Do you know the 4 elements of the tort?
Nope. You have just as much right to sue her for being Donna Brazile. And your case would go as well as the one you want her to file.
I don’t have a bully pulpit that reaches 100’s of millions of people or the president of the United States. Sorry dude, you are wrong. Donna has every right to go after Trump. You may not like it, but she has the liberty to do so.
Not a relevant factor.
Again. Clifford v Trump or Trump V Clinton et all for how that would go.
