Donald #Trump Threatens to Sue People Using #Anonymous Sources

Source: newsweek.com/donald-trump-thre…

President Donald Trump on Truth Social: "As a #President who is being given credit for having the Best Opening Month of any President in #history, quite naturally, here come the Fake books and stories with the so-called 'anonymous,' or 'off the record,' quotes. At some point I am going to sue some of these dishonest authors and book publishers, or even media in general, to find out whether or not these "anonymous sources" even exist, which they largely do not."

**Write about me what I like or don't write about me! <- that's free speech Trump style... ** 😐

#Mexico’s #Sheinbaum Threatens to Sue #Google Over ‘Gulf of #America’ #Maps #Change

Sheinbaum insisted Thursday that #Alphabet Inc.’s Google was incorrect to #rename the body of water on their mapping service, arguing that #Trump’s executive order could only pertain to the continental shelf within US #territory.

Basically an insignificant side issue in view of the many serious crises at present. Unfortunately, Trump still manages to continually distract from the important issues with this trivia. 👎

MI5 lied to three courts while defending its handling of a misogynistic neo-Nazi state agent who attacked his girlfriend with a machete ... 😱

Just a reminder that the Brits are the guys who want access to the #iCloud and break #encryption to supposedly protect us and in the end the #SecretService use their power to monitor their girlfriend.

Those findings followed another #study that reported a 12.7% rise in infant mortality in #Texas after the implementation of Senate Bill 8, which bans #abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected. Except for medical emergencies, the law effectively makes abortions illegal in the state after about five to six weeks’ gestation.

In the movie, a #society is on the verge of collapse because it has regressed mentally and can no longer understand #technology, not to mention use it sensibly. Parallels to current #world events are recognizable. They want to protect unborn children but apparently not the born ones.
