No filthy, no filthy, you are the filthy!
Always with the disgust and contamination fear. Like he’s kind of weird about that, you know? Just saying.
How is this not a textbook case of defamation?
Can any attorneys here weigh in on whether or not this is libel/defamation via a powerful public official using his office as a means to intimidate a small business owner?
Well, they do that by keeping the filth out of the restaurant, or removing it quickly if it comes in.
And taking out the trash. And the malodorous purveyors of lies.
Good point.
If the owner needs money to sue, I’d be more than happy to chip in.
From what I’ve read about the menus at Trump facilities, he’s much more interested in how a restaurant looks than what they serve.
You see, if you hadn’t published Trump’s ignorant tweet in the first place, you’d have no need to publish this article refuting it. You would have thereby saved two spaces for something worthwhile.
See how well that could work?
It’s a violation of the ethics regulations. He’s not supposed to do that. It could be defamation but I doubt the restaurant sues - that’s a lot of trouble.
It depends too on whether they are losing business. IF they aren’t then they haven’t been harmed. They might pick up business from this.
tt’s an abuse of power. It’s wrong, it’s probably illegal.
I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!
Funny, I have that rule, too — but it’s about presidents, not restaurants.
Yes. He’s not too big on metaphors, or irony.

“by contrast, the kitchen of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort was hit with 13 health violations in April 2017 and was slapped with 15 violations in the club’s two kitchen’s in a follow up visit in November 2017.”
people should make a bigger deal of this on twitter!
When I get too speculative about how all that works in his funhouse mind there’s a kind of alarm that goes off with the urgency of a sub’s dive warning but it’s saying NO NO PURRING CATS GOOD FRIENDS DINNER AND CONVERSATION GOOD DECENT LIFE etc. Not stuff I want or need to understand.
Being attacked by tRump should actually be good for business. If were in Lexington VA, I’d head over to the Red Hen right now and bring all my friends. Maybe, come back for dinner.
Yeah I have a feeling that could be the outcome of the whole thing.
The morans are calling the OTHER Red Hen to tell them how despicable they are.
I didn’t vote for Hilary because during a debate he indicated that she was using the restroom. Gross, no other presidential candidate has ever done that.
Trump has thrown the economy into tank and the Senate is set to cut medicare but this is how TPM spends its journalistic time? Oy.
