Trump threatens to sue more media outlets as ABC settles for $15 million.

Yesterday, at a Mar-a-Lago news conference, Donald Trump stated that he would answer a couple of questions.

An hour had passed by the time he finished speaking.

Trump was a constant source of news, generating headlines on a variety of topics, even among journalists who disliked him, with his freewheeling approach to communication, setting the terms of debate, in stark contrast to the more reserved Joe Biden.

Trump evaded certain questions he should have answered, including his strategy on Ukraine and whether he would retaliate against Iran.

Although he had previously stated that he would engage with hostile news outlets as long as they treated him fairly, I was taken aback when he launched an attack on the press.

The deposition of ABC's star anchor George Stephanopoulos was averted two days after he apologized to Trump and agreed to donate $15 million to a presidential library or foundation, plus another million bucks to cover his legal fees.

The issue with the network is that Stephanopoulos repeatedly stated that Trump had been found guilty of "rape," using the word approximately 10 times, in the E. Jean Carroll civil suit, even though the jury determined him liable for "sexual abuse."

Although the judge stated that this action could be perceived as rape, it is legally distinct in New York. You only agree to 15 million dollars if you believe you have a weak case.

While some left-leaning commentators are claiming that ABC has "caved" to Trump, the network has made a different decision.

Trump accused the media of being "very corrupt" and announced more lawsuits he has filed or intends to file.

The president-elect announced plans to sue the Des Moines Register for conducting an incorrect poll prior to the election, despite pollster Ann Selzer's previous accuracy in predicting his outcomes.

Trump announced plans to sue "60 Minutes" for replacing a more concise response to a different question with a tighter version, which many journalists, including myself, considered a significant error by the CBS program.

"We must rectify the press," he stated. "The press is highly corrupt. Nearly as corrupt as our elections."

Trump stated, "I'm doing this not out of desire, but because of obligation. In my view, it was fraudulent and involved election interference."

Trump also stated that he would initiate a lawsuit against Bob Woodward for disclosing audiotapes from a book project. Woodward has maintained that he never reached an agreement not to do so.

Trump intends to challenge the Pulitzer Prize board for awarding the Washington Post and New York Times for what he calls the Russia Russia Russia hoax, despite the board stating that Trump could not prove any inaccuracies in the submitted articles.

Trump frequently commented on a wide range of topics.

He stated that he might issue a pardon for indicted New York Mayor Eric Adams due to the "unfair treatment" he had received.

"It was a cold-blooded, horrible killing, and how people can sympathize with the suspect is a sickness," he said, expressing his disbelief at the suspect's sympathizers.

Despite heaping praise on Lara Trump, he stated that the decision on whether to name her to a vacant Florida Senate seat was up to DeSantis. However, the Wall Street Journal reports that he has lobbied the governor to choose her.

Pete Hegseth, the DOD nominee, was defended by him, who stated that all he aims to do is enhance the military. To support his claim, he brought Hegseth, JD Vance, Elon Musk, Ron DeSantis, Tulsi Gabbard, and Speaker Mike Johnson to the Army-Navy Game.

Trump stated that he would maintain the polio vaccine but would engage in discussions with RFK Jr. regarding other vaccines, including his discredited theory that vaccines lead to autism. Trump also pointed out that there has been an increase in autism cases among boys. He added, "I think he’s going to be much less radical than you would think."

Biden officials were demanded by Trump to explain the mystery drones, as it is clear they possess the knowledge.

Perhaps we’ve forgotten how Donald J. Trump loves to sound off on everything under the sun. We’re about to get a four-year refresher course.
