President Donald Trump seems adamant about getting $20 billion out of CBS for allegedly deceptively editing a 60 Minutes interview with then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris to make her sound coherent. On Wednesday, he rejected an insulting $15 million settlement offer from CBS. Nice try.
Here’s a reminder of what 60 Minutes did. (WATCH)

Absolute baller. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/lp0PH4NzUC
There should be no settlement. I want discovery. I want it all out in the open.

We want everything exposed.
Posters agree that the offer is embarrassingly low.
No, Paramount and CBS, $15 million settlement offer for a $20 billion lawsuit is just stupid lowball.

$25M to Trump personally, $100M to the Trump Library, a formal admission on air that they intentionally doctored the footage to swing the election to Kamala (knowing she was incapable of handling the job). This is rerun every Sunday 2x an hour from 4 pm - 8 pm for 4 years.

Ok, that sounds perfect!
Several commenters are hoping Trump takes the lawsuit to trial because of what they believe it will reveal about CBS.
He may want to take this to trial to expose CBS' corruption.

Pressing forward to a jury trial will mean CBS will be compelled to provide pre trial discovery. 😂

No matter what happens, commenters say there’s one thing that must be included in any ruling or settlement.
It needs to be a public apology and acknowledgment that they were trying to change the outcome of a debate.

Yes. An apology/acknowledgement of deception will absolutely be a requirement of the settlement.

CBS and the fake news cartel have been weaponizing lies for years, and it’s about time someone held them accountable with real consequences.

Honestly, CBS is a huge corporation. Trump is one of the few people in the world who can mount this type of lawsuit against the monstrous media outlet. In doing so, he’s the proxy for all the Americans who have been wronged by CBS over the years but lacked the financial means to seek justice. If he wins, it's a win for all of us.
