‘He doesn’t look well’: Video of Trump’s ‘dragging’ right leg sparks accusations of hidden health concern
In the never-ending battle of political mudslinging, it seems that not even one’s health is off-limits.

As a society, we should ask ourselves whether we should be fixated on the physical well-being of our political leaders or focus on more pressing matters.

Is the Nickname ‘Donald Rapist Trump’ Defamatory? | The former president was found liable for behavior that a judge said is commonly understood as “rape.” So why not call him what he apparently is?
In recent discussions about the former president, Donald Trump, the topic of whether or not it is defamatory to refer to him as the nickname ‘Donald Rapist Trump’ has arisen.

However, this long-standing doctrine is now being challenged, and the ramifications of its potential downfall could be far-reaching.
