      I don’t like Microsoft’s last update. So I’m going to sue them at Dundee Sherriff Court. That is pretty much what this amounts to. We’ll never hear about this case again other than that some judge in Florida throws it out because he has no jurisdiction to press charges.

      But it doesn’t matter, because the big man gets his minute in the tanning salon and the voting cattle that adore MAGA will be delighted.

      >“They actually have me speaking with words that I never said”

      Its genuinely wild how Trump just openly lies and no one cares.

      Good luck with that Donald I am sure the 1st Amendment rights of free speech and free press will magically disappear. It will drag its self through the courts and then fall apart just like the vast majority of the cases he brings (93% loss rate at last count).

      > The revelations were contained in an internal whistleblower report which also identified anti-Israel and pro-trans bias inside the BBC.

      I literally laughed out loud reading that. Jesus Christ next you’ll have a report claiming that Top Gear was biased towards riding bicycles.

      I see he has taken a break from mocking the appalling murder of Rob Reiner after one of his handlers reminded him he’s supposed to be suing the BBC

      > Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said: “This purposefully dishonest, selectively edited clip by the BBC is further evidence that they are total, 100 per cent fake news that should no longer be worth the time on the television screens of the great people of the United Kingdom.”

      Imagine thinking so little of the public you serve, that you think this is worthy of their and your time to pedal. The country is being run by fucking imbeciles because the inhabitants wanted cheaper eggs.

      >Consequently, the BBC has caused President Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm.”

      Yes, he only flogged half the Trump endorsed Bibles, and a fraction of the gold Trump sneakers were sold due to this ‘financial and reputational harm’

      A simple two words needs to be communicated the first is four letters, the second is three…

    12. banisheduser on

      For what?
      Reputational damage?
      Everyone knows it was edited now so there is no damage done any more?

      Also…

      if Trumpy is concerned about editing, why doesn’t he sort out his own country’s editing – Kitchen NIghtmares USA is awful for editing the programme to make it seem worse than it is.

      The President of the US suing another ally countries public broadcaster over something he actually did.

      We aren’t even 1 year in.

    14. tvbeth on

      Mr Trump, could you please confirm for the court exactly and succinctly what damage this badly edited together clip of two parts of your speech, that you didn’t know existed until more than a YEAR after you were elected President of the USA, and that wasn’t broadcast in the USA, did to your reputation?

      ……Incoherent blathering……

      Thank you Mr President. As a court in Florida, we are not beholden to fact or truth and therefore find the BBC guilty and fine them twelvety-seven trillion dollars.

      All the american in here pushing for american greed despite the fact Trump is inhuman and doesn’t care about anything put money..a true PATRIOT !!!

      Nothing good has come from our media and political class’s obsession with US politics. 

      Why Newsnight spends the majority of each episode discussing Trump I’ll never know. Get the impression some journalists think London is a suburb of New York.

    18. trophyisabyproduct on

      I would be more than happy to ensure it is widely reported that many Jan 6 rioters are actually encouraged to attack by the same speech, so it is not that wrong actually. (I do think it is not the right way to cut and paste two separate parts of the speech together as a news outlet, I think it is exactly how the public (or at least the rioters) perceive what they are told).

    19. salamanderwolf on

      This is why you never collaborate or capitulate to weak minded peadophile rapists. They’ll always want more.

    20. Logical_Hare on

      And this sub was just *full* of suckers, fools, and useful idiots nodding along at how Trump was so badly put upon by the BBC editing down his rambling speech to the important bits.

      Britain should give him the five billion, rename several buildings in his honour, and maybe send him every family’s firstborn underage daughter as an additional peace offering. It’s only fair for Britain’s act of lese majeste! /s

      Im sure that man with history of winning this kind of BS lawsuits will not break his great streak on BBC. Unfortunately for Donnie BBC is not waiting for merger approval, so his best and only trick wont work this time (only 2 cases Trump won vs media last years were basically act of corruptions by parent company as they were buying approval of mergers)

    22. The_Thinking_Elf on

      I would absolutely call his bluff.

      You would get boxes and boxes of discovery about Jan 6th.

      The guy is getting senile.

    23. accountforadvice99 on

      wasnt he just mocking and doubling down on rob reiners death ? Just a foul and unpleasant man wow.

    25. ash_ninetyone on

      How can he claim $3.7bn in damages? Surely he has to prove there was a reputational harm, and given he won the 2024/5 election, that’s pretty tough to argue no?
