Trump threatens to sue ABC

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

"I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 million. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings."

1. Of Course! Whiner Traitor undoubtably

was Burning from being Scorched Red Hot by Jimmy .. the Nation loved it!

[Norbert]

2. Gee, if Kimmel's ratings are that bad, let the process take its course.

that is, if the ratings are bad.

[Wiz Imp]

13. The ratings are not bad

The ratings have declined over the past 10 years at basically the same rate as ALL ratings for broadcast TV. More recently, his ratings have actually risen since the Colbert cancellation was announced.

3. Meanwhile, on ABC's site they say he said some "suspect" things about climate change."

Calling it a hoax is now "suspect" huh? Hmm okay.

4. Rump's greed and corruption out in the open.

He uses our government to stuff his bank accounts and persecute anyone he doesn't like or who speaks out against him.

9. Trump has incorporated the entire US gov't into his Crime Syndicate.

5. ABC started this because they gave into him over something minor and CBS followed over another ridiculous claim

George Stephanopoulos said that he was convicted of rape, quoting the judge, but it was worded as assault on paper. And then he sued CBS because they had edited the traditional 60 Minutes presidential candidates interview which he refused to show up for - and of course they edited it for time or camera angles, that's what they do, but they foolishly gave in and paid him. So now he thinks he "owns" both networks.

6. DO IT YOU FASCIST FUCK

LET'S TEST THEM AND SEE WHAT THEY DO THIS TIME

[Norbert]

7. How is this helping the price of beef and coffee?

[MadameButterfly]

8. Maybe now ABC understands why you shouldn't capitulate to blackmailers

He coming out and saying it, that getting the money is incentive to keep doing it.
Will they do better this time?

[newdeal2]

10. I think they will pay a higher bribe

They still have pending deals that need government approval.

[MadameButterfly]

11. and so he'll keep doing it to everyone who has a deal

he can weigh in on. He'll find an offense.

unless this stops working for Trump.
This could be very expensive for networks. What if they started taking to each other?

12. Any money he wins in lawsuits should be returned to the treasury.

IMO.

[rurallib]

14. I have been wondering about that

When he sues say an NYT for billions while he is president - should he win he gets the money, not the government.

So when ABC handed over $16 million or whatever it was, that went straight to Trump, correct? That just seems so incredibly sleazy.
