Could Obama sue Trump?

For posting the AI clip showing Obama on his knees in front of Trump, being handcuffed and arrested? Trump was laughing gleefully in the video.

Since Trump is suing Rupert Murdoch for printing a drawing of a nude in a birthday card for Epstein, then it would seem that what Trump has done is ten times worse.

Is he the only person in America that can sue?

Did Trump produce or commission the video?

Reposting makes guilt a bit harder.

In my opinion, if he became desperate, he would do it. And the DOJ would go along with him.

There is no bottom to this fascist dictator.

a lawyer can get one to sue someone for anything. The only thing remaining is to find a judge to who won't dismiss the suit and/or a jury that will return a guilty verdict.
