The parents of two toddlers featured in a manipulated video posted on social media by President Donald Trump plan to file a lawsuit against the president, his campaign and the creator of the video, pro-Trump meme creator Carpe Donktum, escalating the fallout from the doctored video, which was taken down by Facebook and Twitter.

Lawyers representing the parents of the children featured in the video are drafting a lawsuit alleging the video was altered and shared as an “advertisement and political propaganda” without permission or parental consent.

Here's a really stupid spin on the video. Turns out one of the kids has TWO daddies, how 'bout dat??! And the shysters representing them are DNC donors. I've seen enough freakout vids to realize the parents may not have a case. The kids were out in public, no expectations of privacy.

You dumb parents.

You put videos of your kids on the internet.

And FYI.

Countersuits can be very expensive.

This is not risk free like tearing down statues.

So, it’s OK when CNN does it, but not OK when someone satirizes CNN doing it.

It is a parody of public info. No case.

The carpe people misspell “toddler”, other than that, it is fine.

It was not “Doctored” as that implies that it was meant to deceive. It was very obvious that it was a parody, and that the video was manipulated to create a parody.

Yes. This should get tossed on merits.

I’d like to know what political group and law firm sought out these parents and encouraged them to do this. In general when things like this occur the media makes it look like these are independent actions, which is the furthest from the truth. Our enemies are the groups behind this, which remain mostly anonymous to the general public. These groups (people) need to be exposed and their names brought into the mainstream.

Give them and their families a taste of their own medicine.

The video’s already been posted as part of several insurance ads and other things.

Whoever took the original video and turned it into a parody is very talented.

You nailed it! No deception, no deceit. The whole video was shown, the latter part first, then the other part - all shown with an explanation. Far more just than what CNN does when they only show an excerpt to push their narrative. No grounds to sue Trump.

The video is being used by a hospital group.
