Trump LAWSUIT Scheme SCREWS HIM BIG TIME - Legal AF
Trump’s latest lawsuit against The New York Times just collapsed in record time — tossed out by a federal judge in Tampa before the Times even had time to respond.
Michael Popok breaks down why the judge shredded Trump’s filing as a “political screed masquerading as a lawsuit,” why sanctions could now be on the table, and how Trump’s legal forum shopping backfired.
