She claims $150 million against the Daily Mail in England because they (she alleges) damaged her good name and will cost her lots and lots of sales of her designer goods that she was going to sell in enormous quantities by using her husband's Presidency to promote them, presumably just by his prominent name. We see today though that Дональда Трампа is using his office to try to damage Nordstroms, so she was undoubtedly expecting him to actively promote her lines.
