President Donald Trump is now asking for $20 billion from CBS over its "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris last year, which Trump claims was "doctored" to give her an edge before the election.

Summary

Donald Trump has amended his lawsuit against CBS, doubling the damages sought to $20 billion.

He also added Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, his former White House doctor, as a co-plaintiff to keep the suit before a Trump-appointed judge in Texas.

He claims CBS deceptively edited Kamala Harris’ “60 Minutes” interview to make her appear more coherent, allegedly influencing the 2024 election and harming his Truth Social platform.

Filed in Texas, the suit alleges violations of the Lanham Act and Texas consumer protection laws.

CBS argues that the Lanham Act and Texas statute only govern commercial speech, not political or editorial speech, and has moved to dismiss the lawsuit.

    This you?

    That’s what I say to all the braindeads who voted for the worst presidential candidate in history Ms. Holocaust Harris.

    Sure looks to me like you’re trying to blame the people that actually voted.

    Go sit down.

        I mean, you just hypocritically accused me of something you did yourself. What context is there to miss?

            Your comment history is hilarious when read in context with your response.

            Self-serving indeed.

              “I hope they all enjoy the beds they made. I sincerely hope the cacaphony of all the suffering they cause doesn’t keep them all awake at night.”

              “Does anyone else remember the right losing anything with dignity?”

              Quotes from bluemaga guy who is now losing his dignity trying to morally high ground people with stronger morals.

              What was that bit about self-serving?
