Trump sues journalist after calling him a millionaire.
He called him a millionaire and not a billionaire. That was enough for the well-known businessman Donald Trump to sue an American journalist, Timothy L. O'Brien, who questioned the value of his wealth.
Trump claims that his reputation has been damaged and that he has lost many business opportunities because of the story.
A judge said she will decide within two months whether the case will be dismissed or go to trial. The journalist, who is currently the editor of the New York Times, said he had no malicious intent.
In his lawsuit, Trump says his wealth is difficult to quantify because it fluctuates due to ups and downs in markets, attitudes and sentiment.
"You cannot tell a journalist that you are getting poorer. If this happened, I would not like to comment on it", said the businessman.
The journalist's lawyer said that by including Trump's fortune, he would attract attention and sell more books.
He added that Trump cannot prove that the journalist has defamed and that he has lost business because of him. Don't mess with the Don
