Publicity stunt. Not a chance he will win. Doubtful it will see trial.
Just Trump keeping his name on his followers minds. “Taking it to big evil corporations in a valiant fight for ‘freedom’” sort of thing. Trump has made a career out of these stunts. Usually against those with much smaller pocketbooks and the desire to keep out of the public eye. Pretty much the exact opposite of these three companies.
His track record hasn’t been great in court recently. I guess the good thing is that when you’re batting .000 you can’t get any worse.
I suppose the current method of response to the court would be the losing side increasing the size of the court as soon as they have the power to do so.
This has nothing to do with First Amendment rights. It’s about the use of social media platforms. And what Trump doesn’t seem to get is that it is their sandbox and therefore their rules.
Trump was always fascinated by religious hucksters and how they were able to fleece their followers. Apparently learned enough to put it into practice.
He doesn’t care. All of his legal bills are being paid for by the campaign. So as long as those contributions keep coming in he is flush. I do hope that his Lawyers are smart enough to get paid up front.
And between this case and the tax fraud cases, my guess are that there are going to be some Lawyers who get to take a step up on the car they drive or the boat they own.
Years ago Mike Douglas had a Televangelist on his show. At one point Douglas asked him, “Why are you wearing a $600 suit and a Rolex”? Televangelist; “Because the people would not follow a poor man”. Douglas; “They did 2000 years ago”!
I always love this take. Its the perfect defense…Trump or some Con does something asinine. Dems calls them on it. The act of pointing out the stupidity means the Dems are triggered…
