Maggie Haberman should file a criminal complaint against Trump

"Trump vows Maggie Haberman 'will pay the price' after she questions his mental fitness"

Sounds like threatening a journalist to me.

1. What says "I'm mentally unfit" more than threatening someone's life after they question your mental fitness?

3. She'll pay a price. Goon talk.

2. She should sue them for defamation at the very least.

4. I didn't

see anything defamatory in the linked article. Perhaps I'm missing some statements in other articles?

5. She should file a petition with D.C. superior court to have a conservator appointed for dt

Would love to see a D.C. resident with standing make that petition to the court.

6. She's certainly been trying to collect the evidence.

11. Maybe she's working on her next book?

She'll do her best to get some juicy comments and reactions out of Chump ...

7. Typical Raw Story bs

The statement made by Trump was “she has made a living off her bad reporting, and will pay the price when our Multi Billion Dollar Lawsuit against The Failing New York Times gets to Court”.

There is not a court or jury that would treat that as a criminal threat.

8. Umm. . .the little child is still threatening anyone who questions him, criminally or not

Please tell me you don't approve of this type of behavior.

10. Of course I don't approve of it. But that doesn't make a prediction of some future court judgment a threat

But predictions, even ones that are childish, are not threats. We see predictions here on DU all the time. I would laugh at anyone claiming a prediction about the outcome of a court case was a "threat".

9. News flash, Trumpers: In a democracy, the press isn't required to say nice things about Trump.

If that becomes a requirement, however, then we're no longer in a democracy.

12. If he was gonna sue Habberman and the NYTimes...

he would have already done so after the article about the Situation Room meeting regarding the Epstein files and covering it up.

[onenote]

15. He still might

He filed his $15 billion defamation suit against the Times in the Middle District of Florida back in September. It was quickly dismissed with leave to refile because it was an ungodly mess that violated well settled federal pleading rules. He refiled a shorter complaint a month later and there has been procedural wrangling, particularly over whether the florida court is the proper venue for his suit. Meanwhile, back in March -- before the Situation Room article -- he mused about adding Haberman to that lawsuit. The fact that he hasn't yet done so doesn't mean much. The venue issue was just resolved in Trump's favor last week and there is a hearing on the Times motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim scheduled for July 22. He might amend before that hearing just to keep the case alive.

13. Trump has a love/hate telationship

with Haberman and has for years.
