'We'll see more' President's legal assault here to stay but this fight will be tough
The Guardian
|September 17, 2025
As newsrooms learned that Donald Trump had filed another multibillion-dollar lawsuit against a major outlet to have provoked his scorn - this time the New York Times - media executives again puzzled over his long-term aims in deploying the law.
Theories abound over the strategy, from creating a chilling effect on publishers to feeding an anti-mainstream media sentiment among his supporters. One firm conclusion, however, is that the tactic is here to stay.
“I don’t think this is the end of this treatment of the media,” said one executive at a major US news outlet. “We'll see more.”
Such is the ferocity and readiness with which Trump has used legal action - this is the fourth multibillion-dollar suit he has filed against media companies since his return to office - some executives have talked about the possibility of displaying a united front to show solidarity against Trump’s tactics.
