I did it to make
his life miserable, which
I’m happy about
From the article, Trump Sues The Des Moines Register, Escalating Threats Against the Media by Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Maggie Haberman, David Enrich and Alan Feuer.
The article states:
In Mr. Trump’s own telling, winning his civil legal actions isn’t always the point.
Mr. Trump, who has often attacked journalists publicly for details in news accounts that he hasn’t liked, famously lost a libel case that he brought against the writer Timothy O’Brien over Mr. O’Brien’s description of Mr. Trump’s net worth as much less than he claimed it to be.
The case played out over the span of years. But during the 2016 election, Mr. Trump told The Washington Post that it was worth it, even with the loss.
“I spent a couple of bucks on legal fees, and they spent a whole lot more,” he said of Mr. O’Brien and his book publisher. “I did it to make his life miserable, which I’m happy about.”
“I spent a couple of bucks on legal fees, and they spent a whole lot more,” he said of Mr. O’Brien and his book publisher. “I did it to make his life miserable, which I’m happy about.”
There isn’t enough here to move my needle of dismay and disgust anymore.
There is a spoiled little ten year old coming in the run things from the Oval Office again and may God Save the United States.
It’s like when The 19th century Mexican dictator Porfirio Diaz once said, “Poor Mexico, So Far From God, So Close to the United States.
Only we got the poor United States.
So far from God.
So close to Donald Trump.
I am also reminded of what Winston Churchill said when Germany under Mr. Hitler attacked the Soviet Union and Mr. Churchill said, “If Hitler invaded Hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons.”*
I think that I can say if Mr. Trump sues the Devil, I would make at least a favourable reference to the Devil in Court.
