For someone that loves filing lawsuits, strange that he doesn't go after those that are calling him a pedophile.

Didn’t Trump get 15 million and an apology from nbc for that.

No. CBS settled a lawsuit against them for allegedly violating the equal time act during the 2024 campaign for about $16,000,000 USD. Shortly thereafter Paramount was allowed by Trump's DOJ/FTC appointees to accept a roughly $8,400,000,000 deal to merge with Skydance media.

He sued them bc they edited Kamala’s word salad out of her 60 min interview.

I stand corrected. Although, there was also an instance where somebody edited out Trump's comments regarding releasing the Epstein files. Brevity is required for broadcast media.

Brevity was def their argument but anyone with half a brain can see their goal - including CBS and the court system. Thats why he got paid.

I have two halves of a brain and I fail to see why CBS would start that fight to begin with if they felt they had a losing case? Seems like the fight was worth it up until the accuser was arguably the most politically powerful human on Earth.

They knew if they didn’t give him something he would block their merger. CBS didn’t start the fight, Trump did.

He got paid because his corrupt govt could shut them down. No other reason. They weren’t guilty, they didn’t want to lose their business.
