A New York court found that “the President is still a person, and he is not above the law”

President Trump must face a defamation lawsuit brought by a former reality-show contestant, a New York appellate court ruled Thursday, striking down his argument that a sitting president should be shielded from such claims.

In overruling a request by Mr. Trump to halt or throw out the two-year-old case, the court found that “the President is still a person, and he is not above the law.”

Only the Clintons are above the law.

Shut up!😂😁

maggieNYT If this Republic is going to work, no one can be above the law

maggieNYT Person, that doesn’t mean he’s an acceptable member of the Human Race

Oh my, Virginia!

New York court! Give me a break.

maggieNYT While I remain dubious about the first statement, I agree with the latter.

This will be a disappointment to Ilhan Omar who says the President is not human.

I agreed with the second part of the quote

Trumps lawyer is Otis Campbell from 'Andy of Mayberry'

maggieNYT This is a devastating blow to the lizard people coalition.

He’s also innocent until proven guilty... but then again, he hasn’t actually been charged with anything even though he has been maligned, libeled and slandered constantly by political representatives and the media nonstop.

Yawn...

I agree with the second part of that quote.

maggieNYT 👏👏👏

That will come as a shock to realDonaldTrump who thought he was the law. He confused being president with being a king. But he confuses lots of things.

Woot WOMP! 🤣🤙❤️

maggieNYT So LOCK him up

LINDSEY GRABAM & BITCH MCCONNEL DINT WANT US SEE REPORT OR TAXES CAUSE THEYRE COVERING FOR TRUMP. COME ON PEOPLE !!! DUH

New York is a lawless slime pit.

Did they find that he was a human?

Trumps expression after reading the courts finding!

People don’t realize, the old status quo is over. If you cheat, you will be held accountable. Nobody cares about your “influence”. That time is over, as of now.

Wall Street Journal has it America...

Duuhhhh. Finaly !

maggieNYT CorruptTrumpFamily CorruptTrumpCampaign CorruptTrumpInauguralCommitte CorruptTrumpAdministration CorruptPresidentTrump ItsTimeToGetRidOfTrump ItsTimeToGetRidOfGOP

maggieNYT He is NOT a Person.

He's a person with the power to do what he's doing....

Wait was that even in question? I thought the Jones v Clinton case settled that?

maggieNYT I am not american Don seems to be doing great!

maggieNYT Above the law? No. A 'person?' . . . . . The jury's out.

Guess it isn't King Donald, is it?

maggieNYT No one should be above the law

New York's Trump hatred wastes time as U.S. economy expands, blue collar workers get pay raise and new job (428,000 openings), Prison Reform signed, Vet benefits improve, child tax credit doubles, Urban areas gain w OP Zones. drug prices down; NATO President praises Trump

maggieNYT Half right

Well in this case Trump shouldn’t be considered “a person”....a bozo is more like it!

maggieNYT Peanut is always free to not show up to court to defend against the lawsuit, but that will only end badly for him.

True at least you referred to him as the president as opposed to Mr.

Except Hilary

see: Clinton Foundation and Chelsea Clinton's wedding expenses. Heck, you'll find enough with the former alone. Trump2020 realDonaldTrump

maggieNYT Why is the mighty Wall Street Journal publishing this trash?

maggieNYT Take him down SDNY

🤣🤣🤣 And the next court case is gonna be if Trump is a man !

maggieNYT Great, then he should be able to be indicted while in office.

Presidents are people, my friend.

POTUS slandering 24/7...Hillary Clinton, AOC, etc. all above the law... realDonaldTrump RandPaul congressdotgov Do something about the Fake FISA Warrant and the Treason being committed thru the fake RussiaCollusion WitchHunt... What are you guys in office for?

maggieNYT I beg to differ - but lock him up.

The minute America puts anyone above the law, is the minute that the door to the dictator/emperor opens.

Well his humanity remains questionable but glad he can be punished for potential crimes committed.

No shit See: Jones v Clinton

IlhanMN says otherwise...

I assume 'Trump is a person' is obiter dictu? Just checking

Ok. Now do Hillary!

to protect Putin's gangs in Ukraine for the money of the people of the United States. CREATED State Bureau of Investigation for US taxpayers money In Ukraine, Putin and his anti-American ATTACKMENTS received RELIABLE protection WHEN TRUMP WILL STOP PRODUCTION State Bureau of Inv.

So are the Clinton's and the Obama's

The President is above the law. Always has been and always will be. idiots

Amazing.

Makes sense now

Still a person?
