    Trump is directly responsible for these excesses. In the press conference right after the conviction, he said:

    This was a rigged trail by a conflicted judge who was corrupt. (…) This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt a political opponent.

    These are, of course, allegations that have no basis in fact whatsoever. So I wonder: are there no legal means to prosecute Trump for these blatantly false allegations?

    Shouldn’t the mere allegation that the judge was corrupt be enough to sue for defamation? I mean, it has to be enormously damaging to the judge’s reputation if someone makes such serious accusations against him.

      And they would find a reason it’s totally different this time, and claim any perceived similarities are the product of “globalist” (so Jew, but not the ones they like I guess?) propaganda. Or maybe they’d go the MLK route and claim Kaepernick was actually a conservative, and the people canceling him were all woke.
