Kimmel: If Trump Can Sue CBS for Mental Anguish for $20 Billion, ‘Imagine How Much We Can Sue Him For?’

KIMMEL: “Trump right now is reportedly one step closer to settling the lawsuit he filed against ‘60 Minutes.’ Trump’s suing CBS for $20 billion because an interview they aired with Kamala Harris caused him ‘mental anguish.’
(Laughter)
He can sue them for mental anguish. Imagine how much we could sue him for. We’re going to be rich.
(Cheering and Applause)
Paramount, which is CBS’ parent company, reportedly offered Trump $15 million to settle the case. He said no. His lawyers want at least $25 million. Even worse, they want an apology for not doing anything wrong. If you haven’t been following this, during the election ‘60 Minutes’ did a segment with Kamala Harris, and because ‘60 Minutes’ is only 60 minutes, they edited the interview, just like they always do. But Trump, who never misses an opportunity to a) whine and b) abuse the legal system claimed, based on no evidence, that ‘60 Minutes’ edited the interview deceptively to make his opponent look better. He sued them for $10 billion. And then, even though he won the election, he raised it to $20 billion, which the whole company isn’t even worth $20 billion. They’re selling it for 8 right now.
(Laughter)
It’s a plainly frivolous lawsuit, but Shari Redstone, who inherited Paramount from her horrible father, is trying to sell her company, and she knows Trump will vindictively use his power as president to block that from happening through the FCC. So now she’s trying to pay him off, and she’s going to pay him off. This is how it works now. It’s just like the mafia, but with cheeseburgers instead of gabagoo.”
