Good I think more people should stop being afraid of the media and sue the crap outta them.

Back in the days, the newspaper or media will apologize for any misinformation reported and they’ll report the mistakes immediately but that’s not the case anymore. In other words, we should take the media accountable if they didn’t do their due diligence to report FACTS not their opinions!

Mitch Mcconnell's wife should sue Trump for the racist "Coco Chow" nickname he gave her.

Accurate descriptions are not slander or defamation.

Trump suing someone for name calling? Now that's rich! What's his next lawsuit going to be? Suing the Sun because he had to get a spray tan?!

There's a long list of offensive nicknames Trump gave to many people that Trump should be sued for.

Hahahahahahahaha! Guess this was the only way he could think of to come up with the $250 million the NY Ag is suing him for.

Trump is forgetting one thing: discovery.

It ain't defamation when it's true and easily proven.
