I don't really think someone who has achieved more than almost any American in History could be as slow as many think.

 

I think it is more likely , that he enjoys driving low information,  emtionaly gulible members of the MDL into frothing at the mouth non sense filled tantrums.  I can just see him smoking a big cigar , going " hey y'all watch this"🤣

The MDL is easily transtriggred

Bingo. He has them latching onto every tweet and plays them like a fiddle. He knows exactly how they are going to react. Tomorrow he will tweet something else and send them off the rails in another direction.  Its beautiful!!

Dear God I love smart people and I read the whole thing. 

 

Now the real question MAV ol gal.

 

I would it be a ban worthy offense on chest 

I am, like, really smart, probably a genius, but some people may quibble over my stability. 

 

And the answer to the question is: depends on who is modding that evening.

Thing is you don't need a psychiatrist to see that Donnie is off somewhere in cloud cuckoo land. His behavior alone is evident of that.

Opinion is a defense to defamation. So, saying "Il Mango Dulce has been funding a Saul Alinsky-affiliated dirty librul group looking to overthrow the US gubmit and institute a PC Snowflake Paradise" would not be an opinion -- I'd be making what sounds like a statement of fact. If that's not true, and my statement would tend to cause Il Mango Duce to be lowered in the estimation of others, that's a defamatory statement. But if I said, "In my opinion as a loser who hangs out on an internet message board, Il Mango Duce's statements on VJ make it sound like he's been funding a Saul Alinsky-affiliated dirty librul group looking to overthrow the US gubmit and institute a PC Snowflake Paradise" then I'd be expressing my opinion and nanny-nanny-boo-boo-suck-it-snowflake.

 

Of course, we then need to realize that as a private individual, Mango (can I call you Mango?) has more protections when it comes to defamation than Dear Leader. First of all, the burden of proof that what I said about Mango wasn't defamation is on me, not him -- usually the burden is on the plaintiff (or prosecution in criminal cases). Second, the burden of proof is much lower for a private person than for a public figure -- I would have to prove I hadn't been negligent about the truth of what I had said.

 

Now, if I had said "Donald Trump is sloping towards dementia and everyone can see it," things get flipped. If the statement relates to a matter of public concern and the plaintiff is a public figure, the plaintiff must show by clear and convincing evidence, under the ruling in NY Times v Sullivan, that the statement was made with actual malice. Actual malice is shown where the defendant knew the statement was false, or was reckless as to the falsity of the statement. A person will be a public figure if he has achieved public notoriety.

 

I think we can all agree that Trump is a public figure. But can Trump prove I made the statement knowing that the statement was false or that I was reckless as to its falsity? Unlikely, because I actually believe what I said is true or likely to be true. Does it change if I'm a gerontologist? If I'd examined him and found him in full possession of his faculties and then said he was losing it, yeah, probably. Further, my medical notes could be used to show that I knew it was false, so there's your clear and convincing evidence. And of course opinion is still a defense to defamation.

 

The standard is so high -- clear and convincing -- because we need to be able to speak truth to power and question what is put in the public arena. Private people are rightly more protected. This has been VJ Law School 101 (Torts) with Maven.

Maves you and your brilliant mind can call me anything you want.

  Do you imagine George Washington would have acted this way?

 

  It's Trump's prerogative if he chooses to act like this, but let's stop calling him one of the greatest Americans unless he starts acting like it.

[eieio 1,594]

Yes I do imagine Washington fighting back against false claims and other nonsense.  I believe most presidents throughout the years have been fighters. My guess is they did not have Twitter. 

 

What does being polite have have to do with greatness?  I think he needs to go after the Mainstream media every single day until they change their corrupt and dishonest ways.

Simply being elected President puts him in that category. Throw in the fact that he was one of the most successful businessman and had his own long lasting and popular reality shows.....he has achieved more than almost any American.  If fact I would like to hear who has achieved more.

   If only our founding fathers had reality TV. Then they could have known true greatness. We could have had very stable genius founding fathers.

Mega successful American Billionaire ,  Television Star, elected President against the most powerful field of Republican candidates every. Got the heir apparent Jeb Bush laughed off the stage . Can not think of any other American that has done all that.

 

Maybe IKE. 5 star General and President

If you can't find any American who has achieved more (I say this with a grain of salt because how much Trump has actually achieved vs how much people think he has achieved are two different things), then you need to pick up some history books.
