This is one of those cases where even if he wins he loses. Who would want to sell ads anymore?

Well, even if he has no intention of winning, the simple act of filing will cost any named watchdog media group money. I doubt too many are swimming in it.

That's why there are SLAPP-back laws.

He's also got a habit of ignoring legal advice and running his mouth in public, so he's likely going to end up writing another big check for that misadventure if his lawyers can't talk him out of going through with it

All he has to do is file in a state without SLAPP protections. There's no federal SLAPP statute.

Planned bankruptcy. How is it that we all think he is a genius but also think he is dumb at the same time? This is all according to plan

There must be a better way to bankrupt a company than flushing your personal reputation down the toilet. He's just dumb. No contradiction.
