Trump Suggested Suing CNN At No-Press Fundraiser: 'Wouldn't That Be Fun?' Back to article

Another fake lawsuit threat. Who is keeping count, other than his overworked, underpaid lawyers?

They are “phonies” and “horrible human beings”? It sounds like you have a really strong case there. Sue Trump sue!

Go right ahead, Donnie. Unlike the contractors you sue, CNN has money for a legal team. Discovery should be fun.

Don’t R’s usually rail against trial lawyers and frivolous lawsuits?

musgrove · July 1, 2017, 4:54pm

no kidding, at what point do people just roll their eyes when he makes these empty threats.

teenlaqueefa · July 1, 2017, 4:55pm

For me, the time is now.

The National GIF

Because trashing the Constitution and Bill of Rights is Sooooooo presidential

And meanwhile, Fox is the news company in chaos while facing multiple, real lawsuits.

Just more projection. Trump is actually facing lawsuits himself, with probably more to come.

And heck, after today’s WSJ revelations, if I were Hillary I’d consider suing the Trump campaign.

Trump is a tragic figure, unqualified and unprepared for public office. He’s not going to make it.

docd · July 1, 2017, 5:03pm

Please, please, please sue. It would be grand.

teenlaqueefa · July 1, 2017, 5:03pm

I hope he makes it long enough to burn the R party to the ground.

Who can even imagine 4 years of this nonstop idiocy??

pshah · July 1, 2017, 5:05pm

The Washington Post reported on Friday that some unnamed White House advisers are frustrated with Trump’s focus on NBC News as opposed to CNN, and believe his feud with the latter network has “clearer villains and heroes.”

Even his graph is disconcerting. Picking fights with media? Really? Don’t his “advisers” have real issues to “advise” on? Is there not one professional, competent, honorable person anywhere on his staff? (Rhetorical question)

He’s lit the fire—all I’m waiting for is for him to pour the gasoline on it.

dannydorko · July 1, 2017, 5:06pm

“If anybody’s a lawyer in the house and if you think I have a good lawsuit, because I feel like we do. Wouldn’t that be fun?”

I guess that the team of lawyers that Chiselin’ Trump already hired are way too busy trying to keep him out of prison that they can’t sue CNN for him.

overreach_this · July 1, 2017, 5:06pm

Oh, I betcha he does! And what an idotic buffoon!

ralph_vonholst · July 1, 2017, 5:06pm

There’s an odd, near-parasitic, relationship between Trump and the press, but most of the press never seems to realize that Trump is the dominant beneficiary of the relationship. The press can inoculate itself today, if it wants or cares to.

‘Wouldn’t That Be Fun?’

Oh yes oh yes oh yes. Do it moron, DO IT!
