    Idk how the media still doesn’t know how to deal with trump. If they just start headlines with: “trump lies again, this time about _______”

        Worst case scenario, the lawyers they already have on retainer get it thrown out of court, since truth is an absolute defense against libel charges.

        BEST case, they get a judge Aileen Cannon type judge who’s actually crazy enough to let it go to trial. There’s no better publicity possible for a news outlet than fighting for free speech in court against a wannabe dictator.

    Of course he is fully aware of it and wants to implement every bit of it’s anti-american policies.
