How many people would even qualify under his diatribe of political targeting to keep him from being elected?

Doesn't a class action suit, you know, need a number of plaintiffs?

You, too, could join with Trump for only $250, to be included as a plaintiff in the great law suit!

His rallies have been disappointing and the MSM isn't interested. He's trying to recreate the "Trump magic" and attract some donations as well in the process, but it is over. He looks so desperate and pathetic.

Do the trick. He can’t sit on his toilet and lash out at his enemies and rouse his MAGA troops. He must be so frustrated without his Twitter. It was so fun and easy for hi.

I'm not a lawyer, but as I understand it, a class action lawsuit is one in which other people have been harmed in the SAME WAY that you've been harmed, and they JOIN your suit against the harming party.

So this is going to be interesting. How does Chump explain that other people were harmed when he alone was kicked off Twitter and Facebook?
