This was an utterly meritless lawsuit. ABC suits are cowards who embarrassed their news division. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/14/us/politics/trump-abc-settlement.html?campaign_id=60&emc=edit_na_20241214&instance_id=142268&nl=breaking-news®i_id=6849641&segment_id=185757&user_id=9b5812394d1b4b4bbd22643d4d562367

Still a court case showing how he is a rapist would have been a good mirror for the amoral voting public.
From now on he will be like Joe and Mika: Apologizing for any criticism of Trump or his criminal administration from any of his guests.
We are in a dictatorship. The sooner people recognize it the better.
The judge overseeing the case ruled #Felon45 was a rapist.
How is the term false? How does #Felon45 get over malice, when Judge Kaplan said he was a rapist?

It was frivolous
The bar for public figure is properly set high
This is an outrageous capitulation on the part of ABC
No way is that any where near that standard

A reputation he did forge.
One day, a tyrant
Bade him be silent.
So he gave away Liberty's torch.
Legacy media is dead.
They voluntarily gift $15M directly to Trump's pocket.
Is it just kissing the ring? It seems like kissing the ring.
ABC tipped quickly
And Trump can take his mushroom stub and bag of lies back to his MAGA land of Perves & Predators…the tacky and trashy class residing at Mar-a-Lago.
Payment for future access.
If Trump had lost the election, they probably would not have settled.
ABC is spineless.
A payoff.
I hope they create independent American oriented news outlets outside of America, not owned by billionaires that’ll kiss the orange ass to protect the other companies.
Cowards.
No longer a legitimate company/news org.
Traitor. Let’s make him President!
There’s something darker going on here. Why is this happening? Why does no one stand up to him? He holds no power. Who does? Something so wrong here.
Trump is going to demand a 3rd term in 2 years .
ABC folded before the first shot was fired.
Legacy media is a disgrace.
They deserve their cultural irrelevance.

It's sickening and embarrassing to our nation.
#Resist
What do we take away from that son of a bitch?
Let's bring our cars to his golf courses at night and do donuts on the greens!
NO respect...
NO mercy....
Refuse and resist.
Down with the oligarchy.
Down with Trump.
They are all overreacting OR being very proactive! You decide! Even Tim Cook is reportedly having dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago…
Lolz.
There is no limit on bribery of the President if it is for his official duties.
Did I get that right?

to a Guilty Sex Offender! 🤔
Who wants to join my class action lawsuit and reach a settlement for $15,000,000.01?

No one ever sues him for the hurtful lies that he has told.

Does anyone have the courage to stand up to one of the worst men in America?

It's trivial to find that this isn't the case. "Judge says easily falsifiable thing" is a better headline.
*Because* he's so bad, you don't need to spread lies about DJT.
You don't need to appeal to authority here. This is trivial to confirm.

"Substantially true". Whatever, that's still not what the jury found. There's a lot of idiots on the bench.
Ei
The judge explained that what he was found liable for is sexual assault according to the legal definition, but that same act is called "rape" in common speech
* Say they found it happened
* Don't say they found it happened
This isn't a trick question
It's utterly disgusting cowardice, but $ is their ultimate price.
Giving that man money is like leaving food out for racoons.
It's open and shut. They're just sending him $15MM to try and curry favor.
ABC just gave in without a fight.
Trump won the election. ABC has to survive. They will not if they do not play ball. So they play ball. Fascism wins.
Who was really spineless? The American voter.
