Oh, it's bad. Really bad for Donald Trump, but a win for the victims as they get closer to get some level of justice. It's also really bad for the NY Times. A paper that hammered Hillary Clinton and others when they ignored what their own reporters were doing.

I agree with Clive Lewis ( as usual) . We don’t want Palantir in our lives! ID cards were NOT in Lab manifesto, so why are they being foisted on us?
No one agreed to sell their data to Palantir.
Many placed their trust in Labour + voted 4 them in 24.
In return, they betrayed us and sold our data.

If Trump is still president at the end of the month, then you have to say America has fallen. Trump, a convicted felon, found guilty of sexual assault. A man who bragged he can ‘grab them by the pussy’, who can walk into women’s changing rooms because he owns the pageant. Trump is the Epstein files.

How can Trump claim he suffered significant financial & reputational damage from a BBC Panorama programme that wasn’t shown in the US Despite getting elected over 1 yr ago. How can this clip cause more reputational harm than the video Trump shared himself, where he’s shitting on the American people?
