    To @realDonaldTrump: Libel law is one area where liberals and conservatives on @USSupreme_Court mostly agree. Both sides recognize the need to protect free speech by encouraging press scrutiny of public figures -- like you.

        The man who lies multiple times a day, name calls, etc is upset someone spoke poorly about him??? My mouth was hanging open listening to his words.

        President Trump, who said Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States and Ted Cruz’s father was part of the JFK assassination, says libel laws should make it harder to say things that are false.

        I think his proposed changes to the libel laws would result in him spending a lot more time as a defendant than a plaintiff.

        Another abuse of power by Donald Trump seeking revenge on those who he deems to have wronged him. The sooner this abuser is removed the better. #impeachTrump #TrumpCrimeFamily #TrumpRussiaConspiracy

        I meant with release of the FusionGPS testimony by Senator Dianne Feinstein. She showed how to stand up to these bullies. Ignore them and do what’s right for the American people. I might be too old to say this, but she’s “COOL”!

        Even if the laws were changed he can't afford to sue, he would be eaten alive in discovery.

        If he challenges the libel laws and wins (he always win), wouldn't Fox "News", Rush, Glen, Ann, Kelly Ann, Laura, and half the Republican Congress need muzzles to avoid law suits.
