Are you implying Trump has dumass lawyers working for him?
Does that then mean if Trump had better lawyers in his outfit, he could be worth much more like $20 or $30 Billion?

I am not a lawyer, so I know nothing about SLAPP suits, but my daughter is finishing law school, so I might ask her. My career was just in the mundane area of heavy machinery design and manufacturing.

There are many multi-billion dollar businesses that have ended up on the wrong side of an anti-SLAPP judgment. Trump wouldn't be the first. And everyone here is talking about all of the big-money people behind CFG - do you really believe they wouldn't have the money to fight Trump in a lawsuit he CANNOT win? And once the suit is filed, if CFG files a claim under the anti-SLAPP statute, even if Trump drops the case, CFG can still get sanctions, attorney fees and punitive damages. Once the anti-SLAPP statute is invoked, he can no longer say, "no harm, no foul".

A simple Google search can get you started on learning about SLAPP suits. You might also ask your daughter about the likelihood of a political candidate winning a libel lawsuit over a political ad...
