Remember Cheryl Jacobus? She’s a Republican consultant who got into a war of words with Donald Trump who ultimately called her a dummy. She then wanted to sue, claiming Trump hurt her career. The courts seem to agree she did that to herself.
The New York Post reports:
Appeals panel upholds dismissal of defamation suit against Trump
President Donald Trump has survived a GOP consultant’s attempt to revive her $4 million defamation case against him, with an appeals panel ruling that Cheryl Jacobus couldn’t show that his tweets calling her a “real dummy” hurt her career.
A lower court tossed Jacobus’ Manhattan Supreme Court suit in January finding that Trump’s statements were opinion, not fact.

Glad to see there are still some lawyers/judges in our country with some common sense and fairness...
Cheryl Jacobus, what a dummy!
Gonna have to change her name to “Cheryl Jacobus-Snerd”
Honey Badger Trump wins again.
He don’t give a chit.
This was the same reason why Sarah Palin’s libel suit against the NYT was tossed. To even pursue legal action in a case like this you have to ddemonstrate that you’ve suffered some kind of harm.
Her lawsuit proved Trump right.
Her being a real dummy is what hurt her career. Trump was right.
Speaking of Palin, she has not spoken out in a long long time. Not about Trump, Moore, FBI, RUSSIA.
Rudi too, silence.
Perhaps she should have asked for a second opinion.
