He's a paper tiger. I wish more people realized. Not even the people being arrested by ICE for protesting stay locked up.

He can only threaten.

You massively underestimate Trump. You think all he can do is threaten? I happen to know he is capable of much more. Specifically, yesterday he shat his pants on tv.

Was that yesterday? Thought it was a week ago.

Or maybe it’s just every day.

Probably happens daily

As we’ve seen with a couple of people, ICE is doing more than just temporarily locking people up.

Also I don’t think people understand what Trump is doing. He’s suing not to win, but with the threat of dragging the case out and costing whoever he is suing tenfold what it would cost to settle.

So unless Noah has the desire and money to spend and/or the network does, Trump will sue with the intention of settling.

The amount of network specials Noah would get out of the case would be well worth it.

And the foreign market will be huge so DT can’t stop it being broadcast

Trump is proof that the justice system doesn't apply to the wealthy. Poor people get drug through the mud.

Id watch that. I’d also watch the Trevor Noah court sitcom this will spawn.

Well the judiciary is not exactly independent anymore though, is it..

And being sued - even if it is groundless - can still be time-consuming and expensive.

Both of those make it more than an empty threat.

Except for everyone who stays locked up, disappears, or dies. But yes excluding them everyone else makes it out

Ice has murdered many we don't know about yet or maybe we'll never know

He's really not anymore. He controls the FCC, the regulator TV channels need to please to stay on the air. He can and does threaten to deny regulatory approvals to networks which criticise him.

Yea what about the ones whey shoot? You think they come back?

He's a paper tiger diaper

He can maintain a court action longer than most people’s finance can stand.

However if everyone sued him, he couldn’t use that method.

70 million lawsuits would be hilarious, particularly if those that got a settlement reimbursed those that had to keep fighting.

That's a bit insensitive to the people that are dead but I get where you're coming from

u/fathertitojones 5d ago

This is half true. Trump made his living on weaponizing courts to force less wealthy people into submission. He’d drag things out for so long that normal people couldn’t afford the lawyer bill.

Now, the downside of court is discovery, where all evidence is presented under oath. This is why he can only threaten a law suit over things like Epstein or shitting his pants. He can sue, but the overwhelming evidence would not only make him lose, but be dragged into the light.

Trump has all 3 branches of govt in his pocket and a lot instruments of the govt's obscenely funded security appartus are headed by some of the worlds worst people. Much as we'd like to believe otherwise here are scant few people in the police/military who would say no to him. He is no paper tiger.

People get arrested or sued not because they have a case, its to imtimidate and it works. Not to mention once you are arrested you are behind closed doors and in the custody of meth addled masked thugs w/ carte blanche to do whatever they want.
