Trump says he’s expanding defamation suit against the New York Times after unfavorable poll

US president says his qualms over the opinion poll would be added to existing defamation lawsuit against the paper

Donald Trump has said he is expanding his defamation suit against the New York Times after an unfavorable opinion poll.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, the US president said that his qualms over the poll would be added to his existing defamation lawsuit against the newspaper. He wrote: “The Times Siena Poll, which is always tremendously negative to me, especially just before the Election of 2024, where I won in a Landslide, will be added to my lawsuit against The Failing New York Times.

“Our lawyers have demanded that they keep all Records, and how they ‘computed’ these fake results – Not just the fact that it was heavily skewed toward Democrats. They will be held fully responsible for all of their Radical Left lies and wrongdoing!”

In a subsequent post, he went on: “The New York Times, and so many others, print Polls that are knowingly false. They have become deranged, and sick. They suffer from a major case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME (TDS).”
