Trump Hits The New York Times With $15B Libel Lawsuit

[Text Drivers are Killers]

Reminder - trump was ordered to pay e jean carroll $83 million in a libel case. She called him a rapist ON NO EVIDENCE so naturally he said she's lying and the courts made him pay her for defamation! Trump's case against the NYT is a thousand times stronger than the carroll case.

sep 16 2025 U.S. President Donald Trump sued The New York Times, four of its reporters, and publisher Penguin Random House for at least $15 billion, claiming defamation and libel, and citing reputational damage, a Florida court filing showed.

Trump's suit cites a series of New York Times articles, one an editorial prior to the 2024 presidential election, which said he was unfit for office, and a 2024 book published by Penguin titled "Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success."

"Defendants maliciously published the Book and the Articles knowing that these publications were filled with repugnant distortions and fabrications about President Trump," according to the filing lodged on Monday in the U.S. District Court, Middle District Florida.

Tuesday evening, Trump posted to his social media platform, Truth Social, to say his action against the paper has drawn positive reactions: "I am getting amazing feedback on my Lawsuit against The New York Times. The predominant feeling and sentiment is, “IT’S ABOUT TIME!” The case was filed in the Great State of Florida! The Radical Left Media is working hard to destroy the U.S.A. We are going to stop them at each and every level!!!"

“Alex Jones was denied a jury trial in the Sandy Hook cases because a judge found him liable for defamation and emotional distress without a trial, due to his failure to comply with court orders. This led to a default judgment against him, determining his liability before the jury only assessed damages”. Go.com PBS

“Alex Jones initially claimed that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, asserting it was staged by the government to promote gun control. However, during a defamation trial, he admitted that the shooting was "100% real" and faced significant financial penalties for his false statements.” The Texas Tribune
