so the shooter was most likely radicalized by all the left wing rhetoric claiming Trump is hitler, Trump is a fascist, Trump is going to gas the trans people, etc etc. we saw politicians like Nancy pelosi calling for uprisings, staffers insisting that people "take one for the team" and shoot the president.
Now that someone has taken action on this violent rhetoric, could Trump sue for damages against Nancy Pelosi and her ilk? would he have a case?
EDIT: by just world, I mean in America where the justices actually enforce the law.
It would be hard if not impossible since he's a public figure so at an extremely high bar for threats let alone deformation.
You see this with the Covington kids as in that the media were trying to insinuate he was a public figure....because they made him one. They lost that argument so had to settle and pay him so you see how much being a public figure hinders that ability to fight this.
Misquotes can go to defamation, and he is obviously a public figure so that hurdle is already moot, but that's different from incitement.
