I suppose it is time to remind PEN that Trump has the Bully Pulpit and it does not.

I get it. This is just like how the IRS can’t be used to silence conservative groups, right?

"In the three years that Donald Trump rocketed from candidate to president, the PEN American Center has criticized him as a bully, an autocrat, a user of hate speech and an enemy of free expression. It has published studies, organized petitions and established a Press Freedom Incentive Fund". With this kind of legal reasoning, it's a slam dunk (for the trash bin).

Will the next judge throw this out & demand that the plaintiffs pay for Trumps legal fees????

Will the next judge throw this out & demand that the plaintiffs pay for Trumps legal fees???? That would be a great precedent.

“President Trump has First Amendment rights and is free to criticize the press vehemently, but he is not free to use the power and authority of the United States government to punish and stifle it,” Actually he is. That is precisely what we elected him to do.

Nuisance suit. Virtue posturing. Case dismissed.
