If it fits inside marketing budget it's not a punishment but just a price tag.

Defamation

How is that not illegal already?

Can you just pubicly impersonate someone?

They probably can sue for this. The problem is more that people will see this and not the retraction, which could potentially come after the election if they stall the case. They don't care if its legal, they care about influencing voters enough right before election day

When we get private equity out of kids’ sports.

When they put them all in camps and move on to the next group.
