Trump is suing the Center for American Progress for $5 billion over a report that questioned whether his National Guard deployments actually reduced crime. The think tank published research that contradicted his claims about the effectiveness of those deployments.
This is a lawsuit about a factual disagreement over data. A think tank published a study saying his policy didn't work the way he claimed. Rather than counter with his own data or ignore it, Trump is using the legal system to punish the research. A $5 billion demand is clearly meant to be punitive and to scare other organizations from publishing unfavorable analysis. Whether or not the lawsuit has legal merit, the message is clear: publish research that makes me look bad, and I'll bury you in litigation costs.
