      Doesn’t have to win…

      It’s gonna get a shit ton of publicity and another huge sign that the far right is fracturing and trump can’t control them.

      It’s not being talked about in the media, but it’s not hard to put it together. Maga was always a loose coalitions of random groups who wanted someone besides Hillary/Joe/Kamala, and for whatever reason expected trump to support their own pet issues over everyone else’s.

      Every time he tries to appease 1 group, it makes every other group pissed their issue hasn’t been addressed.

      For this guy it’s the Epstein list, and he’s not alone. But trump’s never gonna release it, because he’s in it, and it would instantly loose blackmail value on everyone else.

      He’d get nowhere near that amount. You can ask for whatever you want in a lawsuit - it’s fiction though. The court will determine damages.

        I didn’t even really take in the amount he was suing for until going back to check after your comment. What a ludicrous amount. Might as well demand 40 quadrillion dollars at that point. It’s clearly just made up bullshit to get attention.
