Learning Annex instructor Donald Trump apparently cannot sue the pants off someone just because their so-called "facts" negatively impact Donald Trump's self-esteem.

A judge tossed out Trump's lawsuit against NYT editor and author Timothy O'Brien for O'Brien's assertion, in his biography of Trump, that Trump's net worth was a couple hundred million dollars, rather than the billions that Trump claims. Despite Trump's assertions that his net worth is whatever the fuck he feels like it is on any given day, the "law" in the United States of America doesn't entitle him to humongous damages for "defamation" if he is "full of shit."

What's this country coming to?
