Donald Trump has renewed his threats to sue authors and media outlets, alleging dishonesty in their portrayal of him. In a recent post on Truth Social, he mentioned the need for legal action against those he perceives as spreading falsehoods about him, hinting at a potential new law. This comes alongside the release of Michael Wolff's latest book on Trump, which has drawn his ire. Historically, Trump's legal threats have been easy to dismiss, but recent settlements with major media companies indicate a more serious shift in his approach to press relations, raising concerns about free speech implications.
In a post published on his Truth Social platform Wednesday, Trump vowed to 'sue some of these dishonest authors and book publishers, or even media in general,' arguing that they make up stories about him.
Since his election last fall, he has already extracted a settlement from Disney and ABC over a defamation suit he filed last year, targeting media companies for unflattering depictions.
