Summary
Donald Trump has sued pollster J. Ann Selzer and The Des Moines Register over a pre-election poll showing Kamala Harris leading in Iowa by three points, claiming it created a “false narrative of inevitability.”
Trump, who won the state by 13 points, alleges election interference but provides no evidence of wrongdoing.
Legal experts expect the case to fail, citing First Amendment protections. Critics argue the lawsuit is intended to burden media outlets financially.
Selzer has retired, and Gannett, the newspaper’s parent company, has defended the poll’s methodology as sound.
What a childish sore winner. Contrary to popular belief polls don’t predict results, they represent a fleeting moment in time. Now fuck off, you won.
Trump is mad the poll made him worry he might not be elected like Putin promises.
Reminder to everyone that you, YES YOU, can claim the 2024 election was stolen to your maga peers using the same rhetoric they used in 2020.
I heard there was bamboo fiber in the ballots
The voting machines were hacked
Took too long to count to NOT be fraud
Boom, now they understand exactly how they sounded the last 4 years. They hate it, and I’ve made at least 3 people throw tantrums midday.
trump is a weak, pathetic idiot. I hope he sues me too.
How could he possibly prove damages here? He won.
Trump is a fucking baby! He can’t even win without bitching about it.
The DmR is such a weird target. It may be in a blue city but it panders to the red state. It spends most of its time sucking off the far right policies of iowa politicians and normalizing the tiny dicked, serial sex pest’s insane behavior.
I do hate Trump, but and bear with me here but maybe there’s actually some good that can come out of that. Maybe we’ll get more accurate polls. Maybe we’ll get a better understanding where people are actually at.
One can only hope.
This isn’t about polling, it’s extortion, he’s trying to get money. He’s going to keep doing this for the money
You know that. I know that.
It’s called a small silver lining.
Jesus Christ man, you want to throw out the first amendment over a bad poll? Seriously?
A little reading and comprehension goes a long way.
Where did I say I want to throw anything out? Where did I say I like this lawsuit? Where did I even imply that I want this lawsuit to continue?
The only thing I said was maybe something good can come of it. It’s called a thin silver lining.
Headline: Trump sues pollster
You: This could be good, maybe we’ll get better polls.
What did I miss?
Because you didn’t state what I said.
What I clearly said is MAYBE there MIGHT be SOME good.
Specifically what I said was "maybe there’s actually some good that can come from this " which is a massive difference then saying “this could be good”.
99.9% of it is bad, but that means that .1% of it might end up with some good. Not sure how any of that is confusing.
