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.

Even being a felon didn’t disqualify him.
As stupid as he is, he's a savant when it comes to pandering to the grievances off old and poor whites. I have to admit, he's a genius when it comes to that.
"He hates who I hate! We're on the same team, Trump would have a beer with me at my double-wide! Hell, I'd let him f#$k my daughter! 'Murica!"
thank you i needed a chuckle
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.
What a snowflake
You nailed it.
For someone that wanna-be badassses worship, he whines literally every day like a gigantic wimp. Always the tough guy, but always the victim.
It's a hallmark of fascism.
You need to appear larger than life and strong enough to do impossible feats because you're so much stronger than any enemy.
But also, every enemy is a major threat and we're so very, very weak and need to do X to not be overrun by the enemy.
The dichotomy of fascism is brutally effective with their base throughout history by using these techniques. Appear both strong and weak, depending on the context.
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.
You're not alone.
My anxiety has manifested into a physical disorder that prevents me from working. It's bad :'(
I'm sure there's enough of us to put together a class action law suit
Trump causes the world mental anguish. Is that now grounds for removal?
I think we all could file lawsuit if we actually tried
Gotta have a mental before you can anguish it
He's mental all right. That's well established.
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.
Guy is so pathetic.
What a weak man. Shows that when conservatives call people "snowflake", it's just projection.
Well, what about all of the people on The Apprentice that were 'fired' on in front of a camera?
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.
Fuck his feelings!
Nobody wants to fuck anything about him, except Loomer and Battletoad Green.
So would a 1st grade math test so the bar here is pretty low
This administration causes me mental anguish
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 😎
Wut
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
Trump is definitely a soft-shell TACO.
And I believe it really did upset the orange snowflake.
Well, when you live in a universe of one, and was treated as a prince, but also treated as if you were worthless, any and every criticism is a personal insult. Add dementia on top of it, it's a joy.
This is why The Founders fought to escape Monarchy. A feeb who inherited unimaginable wealth and power, raised to think they were born to rule.
But here we are, with an idiot in charge, and a legion of ass-kissing sycophants hoping to get rich from his favor.
Ain't it fun?
History might not repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme!
Yes, it does.
So?
It is a necessary part to being able to push forward the lawsuit in order to silence future press critics.
What a feeble weakling.
How would one tell that a deranged ranting fool has 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!
Fragile little snowflake.
Leader of the free world material.
Is that why he always chickens-out?
I so so so wise it actually did.
That would require him to have a mind. And also not be a dementia patient.
