Smell My Feet!

Trump fumes at CBS News over a Harris interview. Now he is suing,

For a guy who claims to believe in freedom, he sure doesn't like it when it doesn't suit his own agenda. He claims to be a man of the people but is doing things that seem out of touch.

While many of his strongest supporters sit in federal time out  or the iron college for criminal acts, he has the privilege to travel wherever wants despite his own criminal conviction. He is the very definition of white privilege.

The former president has officially sued CBS News for $10 billion. Why?

Because he took a bunch of nonsense off the internet and ran with it. 

When you are running for President of the United States, you want to reach a huge audience. Doing interviews on 60 Minutes makes a huge difference.

Vice President Kamala Harris did it and the folks in MAGAland believe the program deliberately edited questions and fed her questions.

They are also wearing Trump merchandise. 

Have you seen the new MAGA Garbage outfits?

Goes great with the Trump sneakers, Trump watch, Trump bible and Trump NFT platforms. A whole gift set on behalf of MAGAland. Since he licensed his name to these products all the proceeds go to E. Jean Carroll and the State of New York.

If I was Trump, I better be preparing for post election. If he does not win, he will be facing lawsuits, his criminal sentencing and a lot of angry Republicans who feel that he couldn't seal the deal. 

Why the election is so close?

1. White people.
2. Israel.
3. The junk food media holding double standards towards Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald J. Trump. 
4. Lack of college education and personal bias.

I have a strong feeling I think Harris is going to win but do not count Trump out.

He has pulled off upsets before and the election could come down to a handful of states. 

Suing the free press because you don't like the interview.... Priceless!

What makes it so ridiculous, Trump turned down a 60 Minutes interview. He feels comfortable being interviewed by Fox, Newsmax or interviewers friendly to him.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Amarillo, Texas, seeks $10 billion in damages and is just the latest litigation that Trump has filed against a media entity that broadcasts or publishes content he doesn’t like.

The lawsuit claims that the network violated Texas’ Deceptive Trade Practices Act, which generally is aimed at false advertising.

It's almost over.

Trump has been fixated on 60 Minutes and has threatened to sue CBS ever since it aired an interview with Harris as part of its election special on October 7.

Trump claims that CBS intentionally sought to present Harris’ more succinct answer in the 60 Minutes broadcast to help her campaign.

“To paper over Kamala’s ‘word salad’ weakness, CBS used its national platform on 60 Minutes to cross the line from the exercise of judgment in reporting to deceitful, deceptive manipulation of news,” the lawsuit claimed.

Trump has called Harris a “very low IQ person,” and the lawsuit is the latest attack, late in the campaign, on her syntax. The latest filing seems designed to drive home some of Trump’s attacks on Harris and the media. It includes some of his Truth Social posts following the 60 Minutes interview, including one in which he called Harris a “moron.” The lawsuit gets the dates of the Face the Nation and 60 Minutes broadcasts wrong by a day.

A number of times before, the former president has filed lawsuits against media outlets, seeking to call attention to what he considers media unfairness, only to have judges dismiss the complaints. They include Trump lawsuits against the New York Times and CNN.

CBS said in a statement that Trump’s “repeated claims against 60 Minutes are false. The interview was not doctored and 60 Minutes did not hide any part of Vice President Harris’ answer to the question at issue. 60 Minutes fairly presented the interview to inform the audience, and not to mislead it. The lawsuit Trump brought against CBS is completely without merit and we will vigorously defend against it.”

As Trump continued to blast the network, the show told viewers that Harris’ two different responses were all one answer to the same question.

In a statement, the show said, “Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response.” Networks routinely trim interviews to fit into a segment length. Fox News, for instance, trimmed part of Trump’s town hall with Harris Faulkner, removing portions that showed audience participants openly advocating for the former president’s election, CNN reported.

In a letter sent to Trump’s legal team earlier this month, CBS News SVP Gayle C. Sproul wrote that “60 Minutes did not hide any part of the Vice President’s answer to the question at issue.”
