Audio shows Trump threatens to sue CNN at private fundraiser

Source: The Hill

President Trump told supporters he wanted to sue CNN at a private fundraiser on Wednesday, according to audio released by The Intercept.

“Boy, did CNN get killed over the last few days,” the president said referring to a retracted story that linked Trump ally Anthony Scaramucci to a Russian investment fund, triggering resignations at the outlet.

“It’s a shame what they’ve done to the name CNN, that I can tell you,” continued Trump, who frequently refers to the network as "fake news."

“But as far as I’m concerned, I love it. If anybody’s a lawyer in the house and thinks I have a good lawsuit — I feel like we do. Wouldn’t that be fun?” he said.

He's innately childish, mean, vengeful and stupid. He thinks he's being cute when he issues sideways threats like that, and he never ever follows through because it's all a big con and lie.
