Oct 3 (Reuters) - Former U.S. president Donald Trump sued CNN for defamation on Monday, seeking $475 million in punitive damages and claiming the network had carried out a "campaign of libel and slander" against him.

Trump claims in his lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, that CNN had used its considerable influence as a leading news organization to defeat him politically.

CNN declined to comment on the case.

He took it easy on them.

He should sue them for every penny they have or hope to collect. 

Turn the joynt into TRUMP NEWS NETWORK!

You've been suckered by ANOTHER Trump money grift.

He knows his CULT will send him money cause they're stupid enough to believe his BS.

This will disappear well before discovery, but AFTER he's used it to raise $Ms from the suckers.

Trump is a conman, and you've been conned.

You are absolutely right. There is no way in hell Trump is going to allow himself to be questioned under oath. The man can't string three sentences together without lying at least twice. He can't afford to be questioned under oath.

That's why he took the fifth 400+ times in a recent deposition, DESPITE the fact that can be taken as an adverse inference in that civil lawsuit.

You are so blind that you only have eyes to destroy him and you are blind to what you are doing to yourself or the USA.

Meh if I were Trump i'd probably sue CNN for defamation too.  But I also wouldn't have whipped up Jan 6.

Why would he NOT use a show of NUMBERS to try to influence those in the Deep State to do the right thing?

Trump authorized the National Guard on Jan. 4 to be in position as soon as the local authorities, Mayor Bowser or Spkr. Pelosi, issued a request. 

Why would DJT authorize a coup d'etat where he knew the Guard would be?

Why would he send the guard if he knew the coup was going on?

You do realize that pressuring Pence to not certify the election results he wanted to overturn is a coup attempt right?  And same with pressuring a high ranking Georgia official?

Get it out of your head that he was trying anything illegal.

He would not have failed if he had tried such a thing.

It is obvious that you don't know much about Trump.

Donald Trump is a tremendously capable individual who did a magnificent job as POTUS.

Superb.

Shame on you for not doing your homework. The Leftists made you their punk.

WWW.MAGAPILL.COM 

They spewed out their lies about him and you swallowed it.

The man builds skyscrapers.

What rich man's son inherited millions, turned it into billions, has an international organization and properties all over the globe.

His organization has employed 20,000 people for decades.

You think he is stupid.

It won't be hard to string together a laundry list of times that CNN lied about him in an attempt to destroy his character.

Even if CNN was right 20% of the time, which is unlikely, they're still screwed.

I'm not sure what CNN can actually say or do in their own defence, it seems pretty cut and dried.

If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

If you missed something on the Cultist Narrative Network, don't worry, the dolt horde here will make sure everyone hears it.

And if you have any grandkids, they will be taught in grade school about Trump's greatness.

And they will ask you why you were so dim witted not to recognize his excellence and dedication to America.

And I heard he isnt going to stop with just CNN.

ALL THE MAJOR TV NEWS NETWORKS colluded to prevent any of his accomplishments  from being reported to America's voters for almost 3 years. Iinm.

One of my all-time favourite MSM comments was "Suleimani was a beloved father figure to the Iranian people" lol.

The only thing worse was calling the Christmas parade incident in Waukesha a "car crash" (involving 50 pedestrians).

They will prolly claim 1st Amendment right of free speech. And/or, they reasonably believed what they said was true.

You have been lied to and misled to think Trump was trying to make any official break the law.

What Trump was doing was being the ONLY responsible person with power who was trying to make the election system work properly and as it was supposed to.
