By John Q. Hosedrinker Donald Trump Loses London Case Against Ex-Spy Over Kremlin Files
When it comes to losing, it seems that Donald Trump can’t get enough of it. The latest blow to his ego came in a London court, where he lost his lawsuit against former British spy, Christopher Steele, and his business intelligence firm, Orbis. Trump had filed the lawsuit last year, claiming that he had suffered “significant damage and distress” from the publication of the infamous Steele dossier, which alleged ties between the Kremlin and Trump’s successful run for the presidency.
It’s hard not to find some amusement in Trump’s consistent losing streak. From bankruptcies to legal battles, his track record speaks for itself. But what makes this particular loss even more entertaining is the absurdity surrounding it. Trump, in a bizarre rambling at a rally, brought up the so-called “piss tape” story from the Steele dossier and vehemently denied any involvement in such activities. The problem? The detail about “four” hookers was never mentioned in the dossier until Trump himself mentioned it. It’s almost as if he’s inventing his own falsehoods and then trying to disprove them.
In the ruling, Mrs. Justice Steyn made it clear that she was not judging the allegations in the dossier, but rather focused on the fact that Trump’s claim had not been brought within the six-year limitation period. It’s evident that this lawsuit was nothing more than a headline grabber and a fundraising opportunity for Trump. His own legal team would have advised him that this would be the inevitable outcome.
Perhaps one of the most laughable aspects of this whole situation is Trump’s claim that he didn’t have time to sue in the UK before 2023 because he was busy being the president. It’s almost comical to see him still holding onto the idea of being the president and even running for a third term. But the reality is clear: Trump is a loser, and there’s no denying it.
His losing streak extends beyond the courtroom. From bankruptcies to numerous indictments, Trump has mastered the art of losing. It’s almost become his trademark. He’s so addicted to losing that he’s willing to travel to another continent just to experience yet another defeat. And while he may try to blame it on biased judges or unfair systems, the truth is that the lies he tells simply don’t stand up to the facts.
What’s truly baffling is how Trump continues to have a loyal following despite his string of losses. It’s as if his supporters admire his ability to fail over and over again. But at some point, one has to question whether they’re drawn to him because they see a reflection of their own lives. After all, isn’t it true that people often gravitate towards those who mirror their own flaws?
As we witness Trump’s continued slide into irrelevance, it’s important to remember that his losing streak is not confined to the courtroom. His presidency was marked by failures and controversies, and his personal relationships with individuals like Vince McMahon and Jeffrey Epstein raise serious questions about his character. Yet, he still has a core of supporters who seem blind to his shortcomings.
In the end, Donald Trump will go down in history as one of the biggest losers of all time. His legacy will not be one of success or achievement but one of consistent failure. And as he continues to lose in courtrooms and in the court of public opinion, it’s clear that his losing streak is far from over. The headline could’ve simply read “Donald Trump Loses,” because that’s what he seems to do best.
