In this episode, we look at a fresh legal twist playing out in Iowa where Donald Trump is trying to move a lawsuit from federal court to state court after failing to force a quick payoff. This story breaks down how his legal strategy works, why it depends on wearing people down with endless lawsuits, and how big media companies often make it worse by paying him to go away instead of standing their ground. We explain the new slap law in Iowa meant to block exactly this kind of case, why Trump filed just one day before it took effect, and how the courts might handle this attempt to hit reset. We also dig into the bigger pattern of how lawsuits are used not to win but to punish and pressure, what happens when people fight back instead of settling, and why the truth only survives if people have the courage to stand firm.
