It has recently come out that Trump had the opportunity to take out al-Zawahiri, but didn’t, because he’d never heard of him. Probably because he couldn’t be arsed to read his intelligence briefings. ---

I read this and remembered something and I thumbed through my digital copy of “Melania and Me”, Stephanie Wolkoff Winston’s ass-covering account of her work with the totally corrupt Presidential Inauguration Committee in 2016 - 2017, _Melania and Me_ Herve Pierre was the designer that Melania selected for her ball gowns, he started working without discussing money and, IIRC, Melania stiffed him because she’s entitled and think people should work for her for free. I wonder if that’s what the payments were really for. And Stephanie Wolkoff Winston worked for Melania for free, too………after getting paid an exorbitant amount for her two months working on the Inauguration. This was also a totally illegal arrangement IMHP, in effect they paid her in advance with donor money, and I doubt she would’ve been 6 months in DC on her own dime if she hadn’t just made a half million for two months work. And that’s her own ass-covering estimate of her profits, the reality was probably higher. ---

> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > This was also a totally illegal arrangement IMHP I don’t know, but someone does. And I despair of any action on the many calls–over more than five years!–to nail down, in law, what Presidents can and cannot do. Granted, keeping elections safe is a higher priority. But the ‘grifters can do as they please with the Presidency’ situation that still obtains is very, very hard to accept. ---

His supporters will never wise up. IF (a big if) this lawsuit is ever filed, it will most likely be thrown out. Like the 60 lawsuits about the election fraud where thrown out. From the link above - > “Without regard for President Trump’s genuine belief in his statements, CNN has published numerous articles characterizing him as a ‘liar’ and the purveyor of the ‘Big Lie,’” the Trump legal letter to CNN said. Over half the country knows he’s a liar. If he’s so confused to actually believe his own lies, tough shit. There are people that deal with delusional behavior that won’t end. Their names usually end with the letters PHD. Or lets go the other route, their names end with the letters DA. His poor ego was bruised. Awwww. I’m reminded of a scene from the Jim Carry movie ‘Liar Liar’ Jim plays a lawyer that cannot lie. He gets a call from a client that got in trouble again. His client wanted advice. Jim’s advice was simple “STOP BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLE, that’s my advice”. ---

My guess is that CNN would file a SLAPP suit against Trump if this does go forward (it won’t). If it did go forward what is the standard that Trump would have to prove? Does he have to show proof that he wasn’t lying? If so this could be the big moment that Mike Lindell has been waiting for. ---
