President Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against a British broadcaster has hit a surprise twist that may not sit well with the president.

The BBC has reportedly requested that Trump, 80, hand over his phone records and private schedules from around the time of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, according to The Telegraph.

Trump is suing the British broadcaster, claiming it defamed him by “intentionally, maliciously, and deceptively” editing two parts of his Jan. 6, 2021, speech to make it seem as though he had encouraged his supporters to storm the Capitol.

    Dear diarrhea.
    Today went to shit so much that I crapped myself…multiple times.
    I wanted to illegally stay in power by inciting a riot, but almost everyone else wanted to do things correctly.
    The good news is some poor people died so, hahahaha, suckers and losers.

    The guy who changes my poopypants was taken off me when Sleepy Joe took over, so not only do I look like the back end of a long time dead horse but I also smell like one.

    Why are people so mean to me?

    I wish my bestie Jeffrey was still alive. He’d know of a few ‘little’ ways to lift my spirits. Make me ‘feel very young again’, if you know what I mean? …

    What I’m saying, diarrhea, is that he’d have a few little boys and girls for me to rape. Just like the good old days.
    I deffo shouldn’t have had him killed!! Oh well, I bet Elon can help.

    That’s if I don’t get arrested. I don’t know what to do now, should I make a run for it? I want to go to Russia but my boss, Vlad, says I’ve got to stick it out. Why oh why did I let him video me sucking Bubba and getting pissed on by those very young ‘prostitutes’?

    Anyways better sign off now, I’m planning on stealing a boxes and boxes of top secret documents to sell to hostile countries, lol. Double lol is that they are so secret that most people would get thrown in prison for even touching them but, fortunately for me, no fucker has any balls to ever do anything to me for stealing them. I’ll probably stack them in an unlocked room right next to a fax machine so it’s easy to copy and send.

    Well yours poopily,
    Donvict P.D.O Drumpf.

    He’ll initially claim presidential privilege and when that doesn’t work quietly drop the lawsuit. News organization can’t be successfully sued for publishing the truth.

    Same thing goes for calling the pedophile and child rapist a pedophile and child rapist.

    Trump always forgets about "discovery’. Trump alway forgets the noise he makes are not “facts”. How did he get so far from his bubble?

      Because it’s a SLAPP suit and he’s always able to sneak out of the lawsuit after they mount an expensive defense.

        Meanwhile it’s costing the UK public broadcaster money to defend, money that’d have gone to show production and infrastructure upgrades to compete with Netflix/Prime Video/Disney Plus/etc.

        Wouldn’t at all surprise me if the streaming services as part of the caputilation deals with the trump controlled FCC wanted him to burn a good portion of the BBCs money with this SLAPP and/or give political ammunition to Farage and Murdoch to get the BBC disbanded when they get into power.

        I’ve seen this before where the legal system does not recognise repeat stupidity.

        I wonder what can be done about that?

          It’s the same thing that keeps terrible lawyers from getting disbarred. Webs and webs of jurisdictional citations and rules that don’t apply to every court. Even among fed courts there’s almost no translation from wrongdoing in one to another unless it’s both egregious and makes the mainstream news, not just legal news.

          There needs to be a federal anti-slapp law for sure.

      You mean he is trans wannabe?

      That’d be hilarious if he hadn’t caused so much suffering to trans people

    Don’t worry as soon as the judge takes trumps dick out of their mouth they will rule it all non-pertinent.
