One old fart to another. Trump Cites Rupert Murdoch's Age in Bid to Depose Him Right Away in WSJ Lawsuit
President Trump asked a court Monday to order an expedited deposition of Rupert Murdoch in his suit against the Wall Street Journal, citing the mogul’s advanced age.
Trump sued Murdoch on July 18 over a Journal article that alleged he had written a “bawdy” letter to celebrate Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday. The defamation suit alleges that the letter is “fake” and seeks $10 billion in damages.
On Monday, Trump’s lawyers argued that they should be allowed to depose Murdoch right away, noting that he is 94 and “is believed to have suffered recent significant health scares.”
Trump has said that he reached out to Murdoch before the article was published to warn him that the letter was fake and to threaten to sue.

Just to make sure he REALLY knows what he’s doing by filing this suit.
Don't vote for the old guy. DonOld does not seem to emphasize age anymore.
