Fortunately Musk now owns Twitter so this kind of crap is going to stop.

"Judge tosses Trump lawsuit against Twitter"

Of course. He's a Democrat appointed judge. He's a tosser.

Judge James Donato is just another Barack Obama stooge.

Doubt Trump really expected anything else.

PDJT needs to focus on Truth Social, imho

I am sure that President Trump is able to walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.

And as Burke has been famously quoted as saying:
"The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing"

People, who believe that men can get pregnant, also worry about, truth being on Twitter!

“So why not sue on the basis that many of these instances involved provably true statements by Trump; thus the claim that they were disinformation has defamed him.”

That’s not enough grounds for a suit even, since he is a public figure. He would have to show demonstrable harm as well, and possibly malicious intent too.

A good example of that is the Johnny Depp case, in which he is likely to win because he can demonstrate that he lost a multi-million dollar film contract directly because of the defamation. Trump might be able to make a case that they hurt his reelection chances, but the courts are going to want to see monetary harm, which I don’t think that would satisfy.

What about people who voted for Trump and now pay exorbitant energy bills ? That is directly attributed to the election of burden.

This was always going to be dismissed. Has anyone ever been successful suing a website over getting banned?

That’s not a matter for a defamation suit.
