In reply to the discussion: Trump sues Murdoch, Dow Jones over WSJ story on Epstein birthday letter: court records [View all]ShazzieB
(21,421 posts)No matter how ridiculous his claims are, he always seems to be able to find some idiot lawyer to represent him. I'm damned if I know why, but we've seen it too many times to count.
I think suing is an intimidation tactic for him, one he's relied on for years. I'm sure it's been effective for him in the past. If he still had any of his marbles left, he'd realize that the Wall Street Journal is not going to be intimidated that easily...if at all.
Furthermore, I dont believe they would have run that story unless they were absolutely sure of its veracity and had iron clad evidence that it's true. There's no way he can get them to retract this story, much less apologize to him, and in the highly unlikely event that this ever actually goes to court, he'll end up looking like an absolute fool when the WSJ produces the evidence that the story is true. The WSJ knows all this, and they're probably having a good laugh over it right now.
Basically, Schlump has painted himself into a corner here. Filing this suit was a stupid, stupid move, and I think it's just another sign of how his cognitive abilities are unraveling.
