Holy shit! Rupert Murdoch is worth 24 Billion?!?! Trump is picking the wrong person to sue this time!
Trump usually gets people to back off when he threatens a lawsuit because of how expensive it can be but if there is one person who can afford to take on Trump, it's Murdoch! Trump’s strategy only works when he’s wealthier or more powerful than his opponent. But when he’s facing someone like Murdoch with $24 billion, elite legal teams, and less incentive to protect him, the old playbook fails.
So unless Trump is willing to risk enormous exposure and legal defeat, this will end with a bang on Truth Social, followed by a whimper in court. This may embolden other outlets, exposing Trump to much more scrutiny
Unfortunately, Trump has brought some of his base back because of the article.
