Is this another "I'm under audit" meme where he bullshits that he can't talk about it because there's an ongoing lawsuit?
99.99999% chance it's a lie to swindle money from dumb old white people
give it like an hour or two and NYT will respond saying they've not seen any such filing

Naw, this is where he tries to chase people off by filing a slapp suit.
OP
OP
It's the campaign that's filing the suit; not sure how that differs legally.
I wouldn't think so unless the article referenced was talking about the campaign? I'd guess this is purely for generating spin
Let's take it to the supreme court. 5 - 4. :) Let's further erode our institutions until it's full blown dictatorship.
LOL DISCOVERY
Does Trump not remember how many tapes, transcripts, witnesses and evidentiary elements there are?
If he doesn't submit to discovery, he loses the case.
If he does submit to discovery, he loses the case.
If he calls executive privilege, there is no case.

The president is basically the ultimate public figure, libeling whoever is holding or running for that office is damn near impossible.
They don't actually care. This is about getting to brag to the base that they sued the NYT, the outcome is irrelevant.
meanwhile, trump campaign also sues time itself, claiming it's unfair to all living beings that people age
Yeah but lawsuits have outcomes. There's a winner and a loser. He will have to drop the suit. Or lose the suit. Or get scolded for frivolous antics. There is a guaranteed negative outcome for Trump UNLESS the NYT for some reason decides to capitulate. Which they'd be INSANE to do.
And further, Trump is a public figure, a public servant and the NYT already enjoys tremendous First Amendment rights here.
NYT can ask for transcripts, tapes, witnesses, the content's of the National Enquirer Pecker safe - redacted elements from the Mulller probe and so on.
This is madness.
They will almost assuredly drop it in the future. By then it won't matter, a fraction of the people they are trying to reach with this will ever know it was dropped.
A few obvious outcomes:
1. It doesn't really proceed in court, even potentially never truly filed as it is just for the headlines today
2. It is dismissed for lacking merits or not submitting discovery, then Trump just rails about the deep state biased judges more

Please tell me this timeline conflict will be noticed and instantly get this suit thrown out
lmao, of course. I can't even be surprised at this shit anymore.
Hopefully this suit backfires as hard as possible. Will probably just be dismissed, though. The whole point is for Trump to make a tweet saying "I just SUED the FAILING New York Times for their DISHONESTY!!1!". Red meat for his empty-headed followers, nothing more.
Libel for an opinion piece marked as such? Come the fuck on.
How is the Trump campaign not embarrassed to expose their craven absurdity like this? Or are they implying that his base is stupid and sustained by a constant diet of red meat?

That and scare tactic. Think twice before you write your opinion about him.
