Donald Trump is now suing what he calls “one of the worst and most degenerate newspapers” in the history of our country, The New York Times, as well as four of its reporters and Penguin Random House. And he's seeking no less than $15 billion in compensatory damages and unspecified punitive damages On top of that. right, You've got Trump accusing all of them of defamation and libel, claiming that they sought to tarnish his reputation, sink his campaign, and prejudice judges and juries against him. right, But this as you have some reports saying that the 85 page suit reads at times like a pro-Trump op ed with page after page of gushing praise for the president and repeated references to other lawsuits he’s filed against other media outlets. so you see things like it declaring, for example, that “all across our country, Americans from a wide array of backgrounds saw the truth about him and voted accordingly — The same truth the New York Times refused to recognize.” and as evidence of the paper's defamatory comments, the suit points to three articles and one book titled, “Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father's Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success.” right, All of which he claims were, “carefully crafted... with actual malice, calculated to inflict maximum damage upon President Trump, and all published during the height of a presidential election.” the lawsuit claiming the reporters knew their work was “filled with repugnant distortions and fabrications,” but they published them anyways because they could not accept President Trump's win in 2016 and could not fathom his winning again by a landslide. and so instead, the lawsuit claims they started with a “desired narrative” then “falsified, distorted, and manipulated facts, while otherwise accurate information was, and remains, available.” right and the suit, It disputes a number of specific claims. And I'm not going to go through all of them. But the the bulk of the criticism, it's aimed at the narrative that Trump achieved his success essentially through family inheritance, fraud, and a series of lucky breaks. but the lawsuit counters that Trump actually earned his money and fame through a mix of unique charisma, business savvy, and just sheer brilliance. And that the reporters knew or should have known this truth. Also, while it's not included as evidence, the suit targets the times’s editorial board’s endorsement of Kamala Harris and calling it “deranged.” all of which is why the suit concludes, “today, The times is a full-throated mouthpiece for the Democrat Party.” “the newspaper's editorial routine is one of industrial-scale defamation and libel against political opponents. As such, The Times has become a leading, an unapologetic purveyor of falsehoods against President Trump.” now, apparently in October, Trump's lawyers, they sent the Times and Penguin Random House, which published the Lucky Loser book, cease and desist letters. And now, thanks to the lawsuit, we can actually see their responses. so you've got the Times's newsroom laywer apparently writing, “little needs to be said about the rest of your letter, which is principally a litany of personal complaints about the New York Times and its reporters, punctuated with falsehoods and premised on the deeply troubling notion that anyone who dares to report unfavorable facts about a presidential candidate is engaged in ‘sabotage,’ (as opposed to, say, contributing to the free exchange of information and ideas that makes our democracy possible).” right, and then Penguin Random House, they just simply responded, “The fact that the authors of the book do not share your favorable view of your client's career, does not provide the foundation for a defamation claim.” and by and large, what you're seeing is that legal experts are agreeing with that because not only does Trump have to prove that the statements made about him are false, he also he has to prove actual malice, meaning that the defendants knew that the statements were false or acted with reckless disregard for their truth. —————————— Produced by: Cory Ray, Philip DeFranco Edited by: James Girardier, Maxwell Enright, Julie Goldberg, Christian Meeks, Matthew Henry Art Department: William Crespo Writing/Research: Chris Tolve, Philip DeFranco ———————————— #DonaldTrump #NYT #NewYorkTimes
