And make a cash settlement.

Trump doesn't care if he loses in court.
Or doesn't even get to court.

1. Sue for what? Defamation demands harm to the plaintiff’s reputation. Trump has nothing to depreciate.

2. Is Trump’s MO to settle with the condition of getting his buddy Murdoch a stake, perhaps a controlling stake in the BBC?

This is just a typical bully tactic that he does and BBC needs to give him the middle finger !

I’d tell them go ahead and sue orange a hole! And the FAFO!
