    It's a lesson the press struggle to learn.

    Of course it gets a huge headline. He's the former president. It's Bob Woodward. It's a YUGE number.

    But the purpose of the front page treatment at this point, isn't because anyone takes Trump seriously, or thinks he might have a legit $50 million lawsuit against Bob Woodward. The distinction is that people click on that to read about the ridiculousness / douchbaggery of Trump, not because anyone is taking a lawsuit from him seriously. Nobody is going to even read any details about the suit before they are rolling their eyes.

    "You know, Bob, I love the tapes. They're so great. We love tapes. I mean, no president you ever wrote about had a problem with tapes, right, Bob?"

    That's the thing - not only is every Trump lawsuit catnip to the press, as a former president, it's now mandatory catnip to the press.

    Trump hasn't changed his game for 40 years.

    He's like a Roy Cohn cover band.

    Also worth remembering how bad his lawyers have always been.

    Headline should read: Trump files baseless suit for $50m over Trump Tapes, followed up with an explainer by a lawyer telling the stupid masses why the lawsuit is baseless. Eight years later and we haven’t learned our lesson with this guy.

    Do they know Pinochet lived to be 91, and Mugabe was 95? TFG can be with them for another 20 years.

    Woodward is such a gullible tool he was shocked by what he heard in those 'interviews'

    Reading the article might be of use so you can know what the issue is.

    Do you think that a political party that has blindly celebrated "American Exceptionalism" for the past 40 years has ever made any attempt to study the history of... anywhere else, save for Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union?

    True enough. I had by the time I made that comment. Trump suing people who piss him off is a dog bites man story.
