I lovingly quote:

In March 2022, Trump filed a RICO lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, and dozens of Democrats, "alleging that they 'maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that [Trump] was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty [Russia]' to try and rig the 2016 election." He demanded a jury trial and compensatory damages of at least $24 million.[23][24] In September, US District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks dismissed the suit, stating that it "ignored existing laws, U.S, Supreme Court precedent, and basic legal theory." The judge also wrote in a footnote that Trump had the lawsuit filed in the federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida, which has only one federal judge, district judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee.[25][26]

Trump appealed the decision on October 11.[27]

On November 2, Clinton and the other defendants filed a motion in the district court asking for sanctions against Trump's attorneys and to make Trump pay their legal bills of more than $1 million.[28] In January 2023, the judge ordered Trump to pay nearly $1 million in penalties, describing the case as "a lawsuit that should never have been filed, which was completely frivolous, both factually and legally, and which was brought in bad faith for an improper purpose".[29]

I know this will hurt, but your repeated reference to this legal incident has no wings.
It's grounded in political maneuvering, egotism and stupidity.
