The competition for “Most Litigious President”<\/em> has long been decided with Donald Trump coming in at the head of the pack by insurmountable margins. Trump is well known to sue anyone or anything that dares to tell the truth about him, or pursues a policy path that he disagrees with.<\/p>\n

The list of Trump’s legal victims includes politicians, universities, government agencies, legal firms, and perhaps more than anything else, media and journalists. Suing the media is one of the methods that Trump regularly employs to intimidate the free press, and\/or to exact retribution on them for doing their job. And if Trump can’t muzzle the media, he will simply banish them.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there is still some measure of integrity within the American judicial system. And Trump’s batting average with his loopy lawsuits is pitifully low. The most recent example of this is a suit that Trump filed last year against the Wall Street Journal over a well documented and sourced story concerning Trump’s unsavory relationship with child sex trafficker and pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. As reported by NBC News<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“A federal judge in Florida on Monday dismissed President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over a story on a bawdy 50th birthday card he allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles tossed the case after finding Trump\u2019s suit \u201ccomes nowhere close\u201d to reaching the standard of actual malice.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trump’s lawsuit was utterly meritless from the start. Particularly the claim of $10 billion in damages. The birthday card, that Trump said didn’t exist, was later provided to Congress by the Epstein estate. In addition to his birthday greetings, Trump expressed his hopes for his good friend that “may every day be another wonderful secret.”<\/em> Which is ultra creepy given everything we know now about Epstein and Trump.<\/p>\n
