@Der_Waeller@hoermannjuergen Ok, da hast du vermutlich Recht. Und noch inkompetenter geht es nun wirklich nicht mehr, also am absoluten Nullpunkt angekommen.
BREAKING: Trump's $10 billion BBC lawsuit is BACKFIRING BIGLY and may force Special Prosecutor Jack Smith's January 6 evidence back into the courtroom
After making $16 million from Paramount/CBS to settle one of his frivolous lawsuits, Donald Trump figured he could keep suing media companies and rake in the dough from corporate CEOs who would rather give in than face a protracted and expensive legal fight.
But Trump got greedy and wanted a $10 billion payday from his next target, Britain’s venerable public broadcaster, the BBC.
What he's getting instead is a legal nightmare of his own making.
Trump sued the BBC last December, claiming a documentary on their news program Panorama, "put words in his mouth" by editing together portions of his January 6th speech delivered nearly 50 minutes apart.
He even bizarrely claimed the network used AI to fabricate his words — it didn't. The BBC did splice the footage, which sparked an internal investigation, the firing of some senior officials at the broadcaster, and the issuing of a written apology.
An apology simply wasn't enough for Trump, however. He still wanted that $10 billion.
Now his lawsuit against the British broadcaster is unraveling spectacularly.
A federal judge ruled this week that Trump must hand over detailed financial records from more than 400 companies tied to his family trust — because HIS OWN lawsuit claims the BBC's editing damaged his businesses.
You can't claim massive financial injury and then refuse to show your books. Judge Enjoliqué Lett wasn't buying the attempted dodge: "All of President Trump's brand, properties and businesses are impugned... Reputational, economic damages, all of that is now at issue in this case."
It gets worse. The same judge greenlit subpoenas targeting Trump's inner circle — Donald Trump Jr., Steve Bannon, and Stephen Miller — to determine what Trump actually intended on January 6th.
And now, in a third gut-punch within 24 hours, the BBC is demanding records showing exactly how Trump LOST his executive privilege claims during Special Prosecutor Jack Smith's January 6th investigation.
Smith's team had already gathered evidence establishing that the Capitol violence was "foreseeable" to Trump, that he "caused it," and that he made "a conscious choice not to stop it" once it began. If the BBC gets that evidence, Trump's entire defamation case collapses.
Trump built a career suing media outlets into silence. This time, he sued an organization willing to actually fight — and in doing so, handed prosecutors a roadmap straight into his finances, his inner circle, and his own conduct on January 6th.
Plus, the public may get another chance to review the evidence that Jack Smith amassed against Trump, evidence that judges appointed by the litigious president have made sure that he’ll never be held accountable for.
Sometimes a lawsuit is simply a trap you built for yourself.

BREAKING: Doug Ford FIRES BACK at Trump’s Canada tariffs by cutting U.S. companies out of Ontario contracts — and ripping up its Starlink deal.
A petulant Donald Trump wants a trade war with Canada. Now, Ontario Premier Doug Ford just showed him exactly what that actually costs.
Responding to Trump's new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, Ford announced Ontario is banning all U.S.-based companies from participating in the province's government procurement contracts, effective immediately.
This isn't small change: Ontario and its agencies spend approximately $30 billion annually on procurement, layered on top of a massive $200 billion infrastructure plan. American businesses just lost access to tens of billions of dollars in potential revenue.
"They only have President Trump to blame," Ford said bluntly.
But Ford didn't stop there. In a move dripping with well-deserved symbolism, Ontario is completely tearing up its contract with Starlink — Elon Musk's satellite internet company. "It's done, it's gone," Ford declared.
The message is unmistakable: Ontario isn't interested in enriching companies tied to an administration actively waging economic war against Canadian workers and families.
"We won't award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country," Ford said.
And Ford isn't going it alone. He's calling on all 444 municipalities across Ontario to adopt the same procurement ban, with cities like Brampton, led by Mayor Patrick Brown, already stepping up to join the fight.
This is shaping up as a coordinated, province-wide — and potentially nationwide — economic response, with Ford explicitly framing it as part of "Team Canada's" opening salvo against Trump's tariffs.
Let's be clear about what's happening here.
Trump picked this fight, hitting Canadian goods with punishing tariffs over shifting, often contradictory justifications, from wildfire smoke to retaliatory grievances over alcohol sales.
Ontario isn't backing down or begging for mercy. It's hitting back, strategically and forcefully, by cutting American companies out of tens of billions in Canadian taxpayer dollars.
Trump wanted Canada to come "running back," as he put it. Instead, he's getting a united, defiant response that's going to cost American businesses dearly.
And meanwhile, who is going to ultimately pay that 50% tariff on imported Canadian goods? American consumers, that’s who.
There goes Trump, driving up inflation once again

@MamaMammut Ich hatte die gleichen Bedenken wie du. Nach der ersten Kreuzfahrt mit meinen Doppelkopffreunden war ich begeistert. Dann habe ich mit meiner Frau noch zwei weitere gemacht. Es war einfach toll. Genieße es!
WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Mark Rutte
"You sit next to Donald Trump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"
