Judge Rejects Trump Request To Dismiss Defamation Lawsuit

Crain’s New York reports:

President Donald Trump lost his latest bid Monday to delay a former “Apprentice” contestant’s defamation suit as he faces a Jan. 31 deadline to undergo pretrial questioning in the case, which involves claims of unwanted kissing and groping.

A New York appellate judge rejected Trump’s request, meaning that Summer Zervos’ case can continue, at least for now. Trump’s lawyers signaled they intend to pursue more legal avenues to try to hold off Summer Zervos’ case.

Trump’s legal team urged the judge to stay the case “given the novel and important Constitutional issues involved.” Zervos has accused Trump of sexual assault during her time on the NBC reality competition in 2007.

Trump Does Comedy Routine At National Prayer Breakfast

President Donald Trump, attending the National Prayer Breakfast, broke into a stand up comedy routine criticizing Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Schwarzenegger became Trump’s replacement on the reality TV show, The Apprentice, after Trump decided to run for president.

At the time, the Trumpster only had praise for Schwarzenegger, tweeting: “Congrats to my friend @Schwarzenegger who is doing next season’s Celebrity Apprentice. He’ll be great & will raise lots of $ for charity.”

However, the ratings for the new season of the show have dropped, much to the delight of Trump’s ego.

At the National Prayer Breakfast this morning, Trump mentioned Arnold and the show:

“The ratings went right down the tubes. It’s been a total disaster. And Mark [Burnett] will never, ever bet against Trump again, and I want to just pray for Arnold, if we can, for those ratings.”

Daniel Ketchell, a spokesman for Schwarzenegger, issued this response: “Arnold is praying that President Trump can start improving his own approval ratings, which were the worst in history for an incoming president, by taking his job seriously and working inclusively.”

Arnold posted this response a short time later:

“Hey Donald, I have a great idea. Why don’t we switch jobs?” Schwarzenegger said. “You take over TV since you’re such an expert on ratings and I take over your job and then people can finally sleep comfortably again.”

Trump Trash Tweets Schwarzenegger Over APPRENTICE Ratings

With nothing to do in his early morning hours (but get ready to become leader of the free world), President-elect Trump chose to take some “me time” to poke at Arnold Schwarzenegger for the low ratings on the premiere of The Apprentice, which Arnold now stars in.

Of course, what the Trumpster left out of his classy call-out is that his own ratings had slid mightily from season 1 (18.5 million) when reality TV was still new, to his last season with a much lower viewership  on it’s season premiere (6.5 million).

Obviously, ego trumps money in The Donald’s world, since he’s still an executive producer for the show and making money off the series. So, mocking his own star is pretty much cutting off his nose to spite his orange face.

But not to worry, Arnold took the high road and gave a class in “class:”
