Trump Threatens To Sue Pulitzer Prize Board After Humiliating Loss In Court

Donald Trump had his frivolous lawsuit against media outlets that won the Pulitzer Prize for reporting on his connections to Russia thrown out of court recently, and that move sent him over the edge. He took to Truth Social this week to now threaten the Pulitzer Prize committee itself for giving the award to papers that reported on him, a move that really isn't even possible. Farron Cousins explains why this threat, and possible lawsuit, will be an even bigger embarrassment for Trump.

Donald Trump is continuing to pick his fight with the Pulitzer Prize Board after last Friday, his very last lawsuit against the media outlets that won the Pulitzer Prize for reporting on his connections to, uh, Russia back in 2016. His very last lawsuit was tossed outta court this past Friday, so he spent the weekend getting just more and more angry about it as far as we can tell. So on Monday, Trump sends this out, this threat to the Pulitzer Prize Board. On Truth Social, the Pulitzer Board should have long ago rescinded awards given to the Washington Compost, known to some as the Washington Post and the failing New York Times for their fake stories on the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. However, Pulitzer refuses to do the right thing. The hoax has now been further exposed by the devastating irrefutable piece in the Columbia Journalism Review. And Pulitzer has no content, no comment.

I am suing the Pulitzer Board to set the record straight and continue fighting the truth in America. Um, the Columbia Journalism Review did in fact, uh, put out a piece recently that said, Hey, we found some inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the stories that ended up winning the Pulitzer. However, the Pulitzer Board did their own fact checking of it, and they determined that nothing in those stories was misleading or false given the information available at the time. And see, that's the key word at the time. If I were to announce right now in a video saying, I have never in my life won the lottery, and then two years from now I win the lottery, does that mean I lied back then? No. It means based on all available evidence at the time I had not won the lottery. And that's kind of what happened here.

And by the way, those inconsistencies and inaccuracies that they say they found, um, it's nothing like hugely detrimental to the piece. Furthermore, it doesn't mean that the Pulitzer Board giving these people an award has any defamatory standing with Donald Trump. Like, you can't sue because somebody got an award just because you don't like what they said. That's like suing the Grammys because you're unhappy with whoever won what award that particular night. If you're up for an Oscar and you don't win, you don't get to Sue because somebody else won it. Like, that's not how awards work. You can give an award to anyone for anything. Does Donald Trump know that he can actually go online to online trophy shops and just buy his own trophy? Maybe somebody needs to tell him that maybe somebody needs to do that for him. So this idiot stops filing

Frivolous lawsuits every two seconds. Silver lining, of course, is the fact that every frivolous lawsuit Donald Trump is filing these days seems to be getting him and the attorneys filing it in more and more trouble. So even though he said he is suing them, um, as it stands right now, we actually haven't seen a lawsuit. And, uh, I can't imagine the mental gymnastics that his legal team is going to have to go through in order to even file a lawsuit like this. Because there is no damage, there is no injury, there is no defamation. I, I don't know what he could possibly be suing them for, but I hope that if he does file the suit, the sanctions against him and his lawyers come quickly and harshly seems to be happening a lot recently. No reason to think it's not gonna happen if he files this idiotic lawsuit too.
