Palm Beach, FL – Former President Donald J. Trump has filed a lawsuit against Reality, accusing it of defamation and the intentional infliction of facts, according to court documents obtained Thursday. The complaint, lodged in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, claims that Reality has engaged in a pattern of “malicious truth-telling” with the specific aim of damaging Mr. Trump’s personal, political, and commercial brand.
Legal representatives for Mr. Trump allege that Reality, described in the filing as a “known serial offender,” has refused all cease-and-desist requests. “For years, Reality has consistently published and repeated unfavorable facts about President Trump, acting with actual malice and reckless disregard for his narrative,” said Trump’s attorney, Sidney Hardwood, in a statement. The plaintiff is seeking an injunction requiring Reality to retract “disparaging facts,” alongside $500 million in emotional damages.
The lawsuit received immediate attention from prominent legal scholars. Dr. Kermit Feedle, associate professor of Abstract Jurisprudence at Fort Doldrum College, explained, “While unprecedented, Mr. Trump’s approach isn’t without foundation. In the Matter of Perception v. Truth, the Seventh Circuit ruled in favor of a temporary narrative override in 2004, granting plaintiffs a 30-day reality holiday.” Congressional aides familiar with the case report that the House Committee on Veracity has already scheduled hearings on whether Reality’s persistent honesty may constitute ‘systemic targeting of sensitive individuals.’
Early filings attached over 700 pages of exhibits, including annotated newspaper clippings, CNN screenshots, and several rejected Wikipedia edits. The brief asserts, “By publicizing auditable events, documented statements, and independently verifiable statistics, Reality continues to ignore President Trump’s protected right to his preferred version of events.” The suit further requests that Reality be ordered to issue a formal apology for events dated November 3, 2020, through January 20, 2021.
Attorneys for Reality, whose legal representation appears as “Perceptual Principals LLP,” responded with a 12-word statement: “Our client remains indifferent to claims of narrative injury and resists all edits.” Private mediation is scheduled for early May, at which both parties are expected to be physically present unless Reality fails to materialize, as happened in several previous high-profile suits involving Perception and Facts.
White House spokesperson Gem Speller issued a cursory response, stating, “The Biden administration respects all ongoing litigation against metaphysical forces and encourages both sides to reach an amicable understanding of consensus reality.” Meanwhile, Wall Street responded warily, with shares of Believability, Inc. falling 3% in after-hours trading.
At press time, legal observers noted that the presiding judge had issued an order barring both parties from referencing reality or illusion during court proceedings until the question of admissible evidence could be clarified. The case is expected to set new precedent for disputes between high-profile individuals and the underlying structure of existence.
