No one, therefore, should be surprised that Trump’s poll ratings have cratered<\/a><\/strong> and he is exhibiting signs of severe depression and desperation. Consequently he is resorting to bizarre antics such as calling for the termination of the Constitution.<\/p>\n

Now Trump has filed a lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board that is profoundly frivolous. He is finally fulfilling a promise he made two months ago<\/a><\/strong> to file this suit in two weeks. Now he’s boasting about it on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, with a link to an article on Fox News. Fox reported<\/a> that…<\/p>\n

“Former President Trump filed a defamation lawsuit on Tuesday against the Pulitzer Prize Board over the 2018 National Reporting prizes given to The New York Times and Washington Post for coverage of ‘now-debunked theory’ of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, the allegations of Trump’s unsavory connections to Russia were not only never “debunked,”<\/em> they have been affirmed repeatedly. Fox went on to quote from Trump’s filing saying that…<\/p>\n

“The complaint made a series of points indicating why it feels the Pulitzer Prize-winning stories are unworthy of the honor, including Special Counsel Robert Mueller failing to find evidence of collusion.” [and that]<\/em> At the time of publication, nearly every branch and agency of the federal government had examined this issue and reached the same conclusion: there was no conspiracy or cooperation between President Trump or the Trump Campaign and Russia.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All of that is patently false. Mueller explicitly stated in his report that Trump was not exonerated. What’s more, he told the House Intelligence Committee that Trump and his campaign \u201cwelcomed and encouraged\u201d<\/em> Russian interference<\/a><\/strong>, and that there was sufficient evidence to indict Trump. A Republican-led Senate Intelligence panel found that Russia had an extensive program aimed at disseminating disinformation intended to benefit Trump and to harm Hillary Clinton. Even Vladimir Putin admitted, with Trump standing right next to him, that he wanted Trump to win and had helped him do so<\/a><\/strong>. Much of these sordid associations were catalogued in the book Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin\u2019s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong>, by Michael Isikoff and David Corn.<\/p>\n

The most likely outcome for this lawsuit is a quick dismissal by the court. The judge will surely notice that Trump isn’t even suing the news outlets that published the stories that won the Pulitzers. He’s suing the Pulitzer Board for awarding the prizes. Which they have every right to do. They even had an independent review conducted after receiving a demand from Trump to rescind the awards. That review found that “no passages or headlines, contentions or assertions in any of the winning submissions were discredited by facts that emerged subsequent to the conferral of the prizes.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Look for Trump to continue to descend into an abyss of anxiety and madness as the prospects for his being held to account legally come closer to fruition. One of the signs of that descent could be revealed soon. Trump also posted a comment<\/a> Wednesday that said cryptically that “AMERICA NEEDS A SUPERHERO! I will be making a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT tomorrow. Thank you!”<\/em> America is anxiously awaiting this announcement with popcorn at the ready.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> Trump’s “Major Announcement”<\/em> turns out to be just another grift<\/a>. And a hysterically pitiful one: “MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here! These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career! […] GET YOUR CARDS NOW! Only $99 each!”<\/em> His glassy-eyed cult disciples should snap these up. Who wouldn’t want one of these?<\/p>\n
