Former President Trump sues CNN for defamation, accusing the cable news network of taking persistent actions aimed at 'defeating him politically.'

sued CNN for defamation on Monday, accusing the cable news network of taking persistent actions aimed at"defeating him politically."

"Beyond simply highlighting any negative information about the Plaintiff and ignoring all positive information about him, CNN has sought to use its massive influence—purportedly as a 'trusted' news source—to defame the Plaintiff in the minds of its viewers and readers for the purpose of defeating him politically," Trump lawyers Lindsey Halligan and James M.

Desperation has set in.

Now he wants to try comedy. This is a joke.

HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, !!!!!

oh jeez just open your mouth old fogey

Couple problems there: One: it isn't defamation if it's true, no matter how mean. Two: CNN is a private corporation that is free to campaign to defeat you 24/7 if they feel like it.

They just report the truth. The propaganda network may do more to hurt you than them.

Trump

Honestly he gives that info about himself freely 🌟🌟keep it up!

CNN or any other News station doesn't have to defeat trump... He defeats and defames himself every time he opens his whiney disgusting mouth. I'm so sick of him playing the poor victim while committing crimes right in our face. Only a FOOL would buy his shtick.

It’s always all about him.😠😠😠

Hahahahahahaha!!!

Oh, boo hoo! 🙄

What a joke.

Daaaaaaaas tiny hands

Judge Judy Please 😃

“I am SUING the Corrupt News Network (CNN) for DEFAMING and SLANDERING my name,” Trump said via fund raising email Tuesday that encouraged supporters to contribute $5 or more. “Remember, when they come after ME, they are really coming after YOU.' Trump scams the stupid for money.

Say you’re broke without saying you’re broke:

Lol, what a loser

It's not slander if it's the TRUTH.....!!

Is he now admitting he was “politically defeated”? Please take note DOJ.

Wow, Trump is almost not Wretched

Another frivolous lawsuit and attempted distraction. This case will be thrown out like all the rest, and his lawyers (I use that term very loosely) likely won’t get paid for their efforts.

LaBoomer68 Everything they said is and was true. VoteBlue2022

He is going to go broke with all these law suites he is losing!

Bahaha. If only he Concentrated on the virus while he was in office as much as he concentrates on suing people. And he never wins. He never wins in anything

Nobody in their right mind would want Trump to be President again. Actually he needs to have his past presidency erased from ever happening.

Pfffft pls

He is doing a pretty good job of “defeating himSELF politically.”

How the con started... . 'Donald Trump is HONEST... COLOR BLIND... ETHICAL...' Seriously, it's on video. Ivanka thought we were idiots. Ivanka's LIES normalized tRUmp.

Hard to prove the truth is defamation. But then that's what liars do.

Then every Democrat politician should do the same to FOX.

Trump needs to sue himself because he is his own worst enemy

Darla_jimswife What’s next with this traitor.

The man is in desperate need of attention, he’s like a middle school student , sickening

What a joke. Every MAGA and Trump thinks the democrats listen to only CNN to form an opinion about Dump but the truth is we formed our opinions on Trump by listening to Trump

New Trump lawyer for this case.

GOOD POLITICAL MOVE.... Who's next ?

Hell, I'm gonna sue Fox 'News' for taking persistent actions aimed at re-electing him into political office.

Trump is King

He gotta get money for all the different trials coming up.

Absolutely hate this man !!! He is the DEVIL !!!!!! Please return to HELL !!!!!

Haha! This will be hilarious!

It’s Tuesday so it must be deflection day.

Bull crap

LOL 😂

They could take a suit out against Trump, pretending to be the president seems like a good place to start

Oh, what positive information can one find about the guy who didn't pay his contractors, and Trump University was a fraud, Trump Charity was a fraud, who was hit with a $250 million lawsuit for fraud, who took classified documents, and paid off a pornstar?

Baaaahaaaahaaa

How bout biden sue trump for all trumps attacks on biden .. wait I know how bout the orange stain on America Donny boy realize he’s in politics and grow some thicker skin

So biden can sue fox over Fox News over their attacks?

I wouldn’t be surprised if his suit fails to survive a motion to dismiss / 12(b)6 on 1st Amend. grounds.

NBC next?

So Hillary and everyone else he’s ever mentioned can sue him.. smart move Donny, open those floodgates

DISTRACTION FOLKS THAT'S ALL IT IS. NOTHING TO SEE HERE

Soo

I will never forget the fact that Americans voted this absolute clown into power. This will be in history books as what not to do as a voter for hundreds if not thousands of years

Trump has a track record of losing law suites.

Stupid lawsuit

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂this man thinks he’s going to get sone sort of settlement because he’s done in New york and going to have to pay that 😂😂

Yaaaaaaaaawwwwn

Hmm defeating him politically!?.😂

Wow! What surprise…It is just another grift to fund raise by a con artist that won’t run again for fear of losing. Let him go GOP and get back to some semblance of respectability

I think CNN is always reporting the negative sides of Donald Trump .i do not know why. CNN boss Ted Turner is Democratic sided person always against Republican candidate.This is part of politics i supposed

LOL.

I'M SO TIRED OF THIS MF

1st amendment ringing any bells?

Sigh.

That's how he hopes to make money. He sues people & also holds MAGA rallies to 'pay his legal fees.' I quoted it as he allegedly never pays them. I think this current attorney demanded his money up front. I wonder if anyone has a running total of how many people he's sued?

Is 'taking actions to defeat him politically' a crime now ?

He is loser....

Congratulations President Trump.

For reporting on his various illegal activities? This should be good.

Always trying to Sue someone and to make money to pay his loans

Give it a rest Orange Julius Caesar. It’s not libel…you’d have to be telling a lie. Repeatedly. Say, how’s FoxNews doing these days…?

Good, wait until he has to go under oath.

About time. You all know that if everything was noble in court, you will all lose. We all know that politically, attacking other candidates paid the bills. Now you'll have another to pay.

😂😂😂

He is doing that himself. CNN just reports the facts.

Trump followers has the same mentality as the Terrorist group the Taliban.Trump even call them smart' and said they had 'good fighters,'trump Terrorist group, they glorify trump and is willing to kill for him.Theyhave Issue storm of death threats against our politician and pol

I can understand how reporting the truth about t'rump could be misconstrued as defamation. Basically, literally, everything t'rump does defames his character, legacy and honor. He is the absolute worst of humanity and faced with that fact becomes defensive, angry and litigious.

🤣😂Hilarious.

You do understand that, as a public figure, Trump has to prove actual malice in addition to damages, right? He cannot do so. This lawsuit is merely a publicity stunt. And you're playing along by reporting on it.

dictators and communists are greedy killing demons that are the cause of wars and epidemics they are always looking for ways to destroy the free world that god has given mankind so we together send it to hell where it was born

He really needs to lay off the Adderall.

This is just so hilarious.

Trump has to deal with the criminal bankers. With the dark American background power.

Otherwise known as reporting on his actual activities and words

Trump's defamation case against CNN is designed to deflect attention & to put the channel & its journalists on the back foot: It's a purely political move (AttackAsDefence) which should be ignored politically, while the matter is aired in court!!

So he is suing them for $475 million plus compensation for refusing to take down 34 articles he don't like is ridiculous. They are just reporting what he does. You notice he's trying to keep it all in Florida probably so it can go before judge Cannon. That's very obvious .

Trump will try anything to get money 🤑 & mo $$ & mo 💰🤑 for Shocktober 🎃

😂😂😂

deflection from him stealing and selling gov't secrets

Who's next ?

Nope. You do that quite successfully, yourself.

Deflect much

But it’s ok when Fox News attacks Democrats? What a big cry baby. Somebody should give him a pacifier.

Lol, what a joke!

You talk about being a 'Snowflake'...This guy is a freaking avalanche 😭

Another scheme to get his dimwitted supporters to send him more cash

He should be sueing a lot more people. Like all of the ones that were involved with stealing the 2020 election. They all know who they are!

He can't handle the truth.

Wont work. Waste of time.

trump's business model for maga money

Desperate, demented,Don.

Judge Judy Please

Trump is a 🤡

The problem is the liberal judges that are bias against conservatives.

Can you say paranoia!

Because he needs money

He is a waste of Human space.

Truth hurts this horrible human

Hahaha. What an idiot

Wonder why more people don’t sure him when he calls them names.

Good move considering he will now have to agree to participate/cooperate in a deposition. He carries the burden of proof. This is all a diversion tactic.

Can CNN plead the 5th?

Wait, “Low ratings CNN” “defeated him politically”, how is that possible. I can’t wait for discovery in this case, Trump will take the 5th in his own law suit.

You don’t have to like or dislike Trump, fact is, he’s got a point! 💯‼️

😂😂😂😂😂

Discovery will be fun.

What does that even mean?

Bring on discovery

His lawyers better get paid in advance

Lol. And this after CNN sold its soul so he'd like them. Hahahahahahaha.

Always the victim, he's claiming CNN 'lied' about him, really? The lyin' king himself. He defamed himself by being crooked, they just reported on his crookedness

MAGA's Head DUFUS FactsMatter Donnie

Good , time fake news paid for misinformation

NBC is next

He did that himself on Cspan.

If someone ought to be sued for defamation It's him Does nothing but slander

CNN should counter sue trump back forthe same thing lol 😂 what a joke

fReeDUm oF SPeEch

Trump is defeating himself with his lies, idiocy and corruption. Americans got wise and voted the moron OUT. We'll find paper towels somewhere else.

And off he goes again, screaming MeToo from the poop deck after jettisoning decency and reasoned debate (and shredding top secret documents) when he had his turn.

Someone’s trying to set a Guinness record for the biggest loser of lawsuits.

I sure cannot wait for the blow back on crybaby tRump.

We knew this lawsuit was coming. Please don't laugh.

I don't want to and I can't believe that evil is a normal state of people. And yet everyone laughs at this faith of mine.' Fyodor Dostoevsky

Judge: “They didn’t do anything but report all the stupid shit you said and did. Gtfoh”

Can you actually sue someone for stating the truth?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Actually, I think his own actions may ultimately affect his chances...DOJ willing.

Seeking attention again orange vagina neck man child

NBCartoon Tabloid Network spinning is next🇺🇸🇺🇸

Groan! Trump is such a small and pathetic human being.

Bitch needs money

You are probably next

As long as he breathes and has a pulse, this is what we can expect from him. The trick is to… Never mind. 🤐

Finally even tho nothing will ever happen

Great. CNN lawyers will depose Trump and the resulting information will be worth millions and he’ll lose the suit.

And I hope you are next

Actions he takes and the words he uses are doing the work for anyone looking to bring the orange clown down.

Why is anyone still pretending that any of Trump's fake lawsuits are real? He's not going to testify under oath in discovery EVER. FFS.

I wonder how many lawsuits Trump has initiated in his lifetime….

Well then in that vein, can Hillary Clinton sue Fox, Newsmaz and OAN ?

He started it, they finished it

He would sue his mother if he thought he could make a buck .

Trump's lawsuits are either thrown out by the courts or he drops them before a trial, because he knows he'll have to take the stand and testify under oath.

tRump/republicans just don’t get hypocrisy.
