If a TV show can cause you mental anguish enough to claim damages, I think that disqualifies you to be the President of the United States.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Even being a felon didn’t disqualify him.
What a snowflake
Trump causes the world mental anguish. Is that now grounds for removal?
I think we all could file lawsuit if we actually tried
Paramount still wants to be bought out by Skydance, and they need regulatory approval for it to happen.
This isn't "mental anguish" it's a mob shakedown.
It would be funny if Skydance tried to renegotiate the deal or back out entirely, based on how all this nonsense has affected Paramount's value.
If THAT caused you "mental anguish" (X), then you are in no way fit for office.
To nobodies surprise.
That isn't even in the Top 20 reasons that he is unfit for office.
Totally agree. It wouldn't even grace the top 100.
Guy is so pathetic.
Gotta have a mental before you can anguish it
He's mental all right. That's well established.
So can I sue HitlerPig for my mental anguish? I'm an old guy, and I've never lived with this level of anxiety in my life, totally caused by him. If he's got a case, I definitely do.
So would a 1st grade math test so the bar here is pretty low
Well, what about all of the people on The Apprentice that were 'fired' on in front of a camera?
I came here to post a comment suggesting that the mental anguish he claims he has felt from a television program will surely pale in comparison to the agony he'll continue to experience from humanity's ceaseless reminder of TACO Trade, but you beat me to it. Nice picture!
The user dinren made it, I just thought it was awesome 😎
Fuck his feelings!
Nobody wants to fuck anything about him, except Loomer and Battletoad Green.
If you can get money for mental anguish from TV, I'm claiming all the anguish from being exposed to Fox News as a child
It has never mattered to trump whether something it true or not, it only ever matters who says nice things about him and who gives him money.
And I believe it really did upset the orange snowflake.
What a feeble weakling.
What a weak man. Shows that when conservatives call people "snowflake", it's just projection.
Trump is definitely a soft-shell TACO.
This administration causes me mental anguish
Have they managed to make him realize less than 1 percent of how much of a disgusting human being that he is?
I say less than 1 percent because any more than that he'd just jump off of the nearest tall building.
I cast “Sudden Clarity” on the large orange chicken!
Leader of the free world material.
How would one tell that a deranged ranting fool has mental anguish?
That would require him to have a mind. And also not be a dementia patient.
So?
Is that why he always chickens-out?
I so so so wise it actually did.
