    If a TV show can cause you mental anguish enough to claim damages, I think that disqualifies you to be the President of the United States.

      You nailed it.

      For someone that wanna-be badassses worship, he whines literally every day like a gigantic wimp. Always the tough guy, but always the victim.

        It’s a hallmark of fascism.

        You need to appear larger than life and strong enough to do impossible feats because you’re so much stronger than any enemy.

        But also, every enemy is a major threat and we’re so very, very weak and need to do X to not be overrun by the enemy.

        The dichotomy of fascism is brutally effective with their base throughout history by using these techniques. Appear both strong and weak, depending on the context.

    Paramount still wants to be bought out by Skydance, and they need regulatory approval for it to happen.

    This isn’t “mental anguish” it’s a mob shakedown.

      It would be funny if Skydance tried to renegotiate the deal or back out entirely, based on how all this nonsense has affected Paramount’s value.

    So can I sue HitlerPig for my mental anguish? I’m an old guy, and I’ve never lived with this level of anxiety in my life, totally caused by him. If he’s got a case, I definitely do.

      You’re not alone.

      My anxiety has manifested into a physical disorder that prevents me from working. It’s bad :'(

      I’m sure there’s enough of us to put together a class action law suit

      I came here to post a comment suggesting that the mental anguish he claims he has felt from a television program will surely pale in comparison to the agony he’ll continue to experience from humanity’s ceaseless reminder of TACO Trade, but you beat me to it. Nice picture!

    It has never mattered to trump whether something it true or not, it only ever matters who says nice things about him and who gives him money.

    If you can get money for mental anguish from TV, I’m claiming all the anguish from being exposed to Fox News as a child

    Well, when you live in a universe of one, and was treated as a prince, but also treated as if you were worthless, any and every criticism is a personal insult. Add dementia on top of it, it’s a joy.

    This is why The Founders fought to escape Monarchy. A feeb who inherited unimaginable wealth and power, raised to think they were born to rule.

    But here we are, with an idiot in charge, and a legion of ass-kissing sycophants hoping to get rich from his favor.

    Ain’t it fun?
