Trump has certainly defamed many people in a civil manner as well. If you understand why there seem to be so few civil suits against Trump for defamation, you will be closer to understanding why there are so few criminal cases against him for the same.

The interests of people who have been defamed is very different than one of those 23 DAs looking to gain from politics and/or subscribing to shock doctrine. It's virtually impossible to sue a DA for starting a criminal case.

But coming the original question is whether this is on topic. Yes it is.
