Donald Trump suggests he wants US law to limit free
speech in wake of publication of explosive new book
Jan 7 2018


President Donald Trump has hit out at "very weak"
libel laws in the US as he branded an explosive
new book detailing the inner workings of the White
House as "fiction".

Suggesting he would like to see tougher laws on
speech, Mr Trump said that if libel laws "were
strong... you wouldn’t have things like that
happen where you can say whatever comes into your
head" – referring to Michael Wolff’s book Fire
and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.

The book has caused a storm of controversy and
has left the President facing questions about
his mental state, with quotes in Fire and Fury –
including from Mr Trump’s former chief strategist
Steve Bannon - suggesting that even those close
to Mr Trump had questioned his capability.

Early on Saturday, Mr Trump wrote a string of
messages on Twitter where he rejected such claims,
saying he was a "very stable genius” whose two
greatest assets are his "mental stability and
being, like, really smart".

There is no right to libel someone, Mitchie.

Trump accuses Ted Cruz's father of killing JFK
and dares to accuse others of libel.

Oh, the irony............

Can you commit libel against a dead person? Cruz's father is dead isn't he?

Wrong. Rafael Cruz is very much alive.

Now tell us why accusing him of murder is NOT libel.

My thought is that Rafael Cruz should gather up all the documents that
prove he didn't kill JFK and then file the suit and be prepared to be
deposed and spend the rest of his life with lawyers trying to prove his
innocence.... And if he clearly wasn't any where near JFK and didn't
conspire against JFK then he might actually convince some people....
but proving your innocence is far more difficult than proving you are
simply NOT guilty.

looking at that, it would be unlikely that Rafael Cruz would win
anything before he dies.

if that's his opinion that's fine but I say it's far different to prove
libel as opposed to Criminal guilt. Not only can't TRUMP change that
he would be wasting his time trying so it's a fart in the wind, nothing
here to see, move along.

Josh you are a confusing person. Stating that there is no right to
libel someone is NOT the same as defending Trump's statement. He can
do that himself. Can you show where there is a right to libel
someone? You're demanding that I support something someone else said
which is ridiculous.

Geeze, you're an idiot. Libel is tort and therefore actionable. However libel is
difficult to commit. Publishing unflattery truth is not libel. Publishing lies
is also not libel.

Of course there is no right to libel someone. But, why did you respond
to "Donald Trump has hit out at very weak libel laws" by saying "There
is o right to libel"?

"Trump Once Again Threatens to Change Federal Libel Laws That Don’t Exist"

In the latest in a long line of attacks on freedom of the press,
President Trump has once again threatened today to change libel laws
to make it easier to sue news organizations, publishers, and others
after the publication of an unflattering book.

“We are going to take a strong look at our country’s libel laws so
that when somebody says something that is false and defamatory about
someone, that person will have meaningful recourse in our courts,”
Trump said.

Fortunately, there are two strong obstacles standing in his way.
Chief among them is the First Amendment, which clearly protects
freedom of the press. But the other main barrier is the inconvenient
fact that there is no federal libel law for President Trump to bully
Congress to change. Libel cases are based on state laws, which
neither the president nor Congress has control over because of our
nation’s federalist system.

Trumpchev is just pissy because the libel laws are quite strong enough,
and they don't prevent anyone from saying what a shitbag Trumpchev is.

Mr. Wolff says that someone else said Trumpchev referred to the First
Pole Dance as his "trophy wife". That is not libel.
