Didn’t he attempt to sue “infringers” before?

Should be dismissed with prejudice - the image was used in the public domain as a meme MILLIONS of times before it was co-opted for Trump memes.
Furie enjoyed the meme use before because it furthered his popularity and never tried to sue or shut down the illicit use before so it’s become, defacto, a public domain item.
Copyright law here is clear - once the cat is out of the bag there’s no putting it back in.
