Even before his 2020 election defeat, Donald Trump became unusually litigious when it came to independent news organizations. The Republican’s campaign filed suit against CNN, for example, and it didn’t turn out well. Trump also sued The New York Times, which also proved pointless.

"The drop in March 2020 had everything to do with a massive drop in demand — nothing else," Patrick De Haan from GasBuddy.com told Snopes.
Donald Trump, who originally ran for office promising he’d fund his own campaign so he wouldn’t be beholden to wealthy interests, is apparently in such dire financial straits he’s currently hanging out with billionaires, who, as everyone knows, he hates.

On "The Daily Show" Monday night, Jon Stewart didn’t quite issue an apology to his many critics. Those critics were upset at Stewart for dangerously and inappropriately perpetuating "both-sidesism" when it came to dragging President Joe Biden and Donald Trump in equal measure. But the absence of any gags about Biden in the most recent episode suggests that Stewart has certainly heard the complaints. It’s never a bad thing when influential comedians acknowledge a mistake, even if they do so...
