Do you know what the settlement is? The press doesn’t. Do we know it amounts to anything other than “Screw it, gimme a beer, and we’ll call it off?”
That’s all right. Maybe he can get Soros to bail him out again.
The average age of Trump supporters?
Uh, maybe I am a little dense, but the reason for the loss had NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS NET WORTH. He was unable to PROVE that the author wrote the book with MALICE in his mind. The guy was trying to sell books. No violation according to the ruling. Nothing more!
Malice:
In criminal law. In its legal sense, this word does not simply mean ill will against a person, but signifies a wrongful act done intentionally, without just cause or excuse. Bromage v. Prosser, 4 Barn. & C. 255. A conscious violation of the law (or the prompting of the mind to commit it) which operates to the prejudice of another person. About as clear, comprehensive, and correct a definition as the authorities afford is that "malice is a condition of the mind which shows a heart regardless of social duty aud fatally bent on mischief, the existence of which is inferred from acts committed or words spoken." Harris v. State, 8 Tex. App. 109. "Malice," in its common acceptation, means ill will towards some person. In its legal sense, it applies to a wrongful act done intentionally, without legal justification or excuse. Dunn v. Hall, 1 Ind. 344. A man may do an act willfully, and yet be free of malice. But he cannot do an act maliciously without at the same time doing it willfully. The malicious doing of an act in- cludes the willful doing of it. Malice includes intent and will. ... Law Dictionary: What is MALICE? definition of MALICE (Black's Law Dictionary)
Trump additionally was a loser when it came to dealing with his attorneys, who knew that this was a loser of a case (most law students know how difficult it is to show actual malice), yet apparently happily took the case in return Trump’s cash.
They profited from Trump’s pathological vanity.
It’s public information, genius.
You excerpted a criminal definition of "malice." In case you haven't figured it out, a defamation case is civil law.
Criminal: When the State tries to put you in a cage.
Civil: When you injure Trump's vanity, and tries to get your money.
Maybe the point you were trying to make was that this suit does not directly go to the issue of Trump's net worth. The decision only states:
Even if the author was wrong wrong about Trump's net worth, Trump has not shown that the author had...knowledge of its falsity, or reckless disregard of whether or not their statements regarding Trump's net worth were false. The later part of the preceding sentence is the definition of "actual malice" in a civil context.
Very perceptive. Some of them would benefit Cruz better if they revealed his positive qualities than going almost moonbat negative against Trump.
Yes, he stated he would use those small donations. I gave GWB and Romney 5-10 times and more. I like Trump as he is the only one who has met a payroll. Most are lawyers with no idea of business or econ.
Trump filed his financial disclosure papers when he got into the race...You can bet Trump is worth what he said he is or Cruz and the other sleezy media types would have been all over it...

Since you are apparently the person who convinced the moderator to remove my comments because you were wrong about it not being available for republishing, why don’t you man up and ask the moderator to undelete my comments.
It’s public information. How could you not understand that. Then again, you might be a Trumpite. Support who you want, but your effort to delete comments that violated not copyright or law ws either based on ignorance or intellectual dishonesty.
Do the right thing and admit to te moderator you were mistaken.
