TRUMP’S PULITZER LAWSUIT BACKFIRES: Board Demands Psych Records, Meds History, and Tax Returns – Kryptonite Exposed in Epic Legal Twist!

On December 17, 2025, President Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board – filed in 2022 over awards for Russia probe reporting – took a stunning turn that could expose his most guarded secrets. The board’s discovery demands, including full psychiatric evaluations, psychological records, prescription medications, and tax returns from 2015 onward, strike at Trump’s core vulnerabilities: his ego and secrecy.

Trump sued in Okeechobee County, Florida, claiming the 2018 Pulitzers to The New York Times and Washington Post perpetuated a “Russia collusion hoax.” He demanded the prizes be revoked, insisting the reporting was false and damaging. But the board fired back, arguing Trump must prove harm – opening the door to invasive scrutiny of his finances and health.

Legal experts call this Trump’s “kryptonite moment,” akin to the superhero’s fatal weakness. For years, Trump has dodged releasing tax returns, citing audits, and provided minimal health details despite questions about his fitness at age 79. Now, with a 30-day deadline from December 11, he faces potential court orders to comply or risk case dismissal.

The demands are broad: every tax schedule, attachment, and income source since 2015, plus records of assets, liabilities, and any mental health treatments. Critics say this echoes Trump’s unfulfilled 2016 promise to release taxes, highlighting hypocrisy in a man who brags about transparency but hides behind legal shields.

Board attorneys justify the requests as essential to counter Trump’s claims of “mental and physical anguish” from the alleged defamation. If Trump refuses, it could undermine his suit, while compliance might reveal conflicts of interest, health issues, or financial discrepancies – fueling opponents’ narratives of unfitness.

This isn’t Trump’s first legal boomerang; his history of aggressive lawsuits often exposes him to counter-demands. As a self-proclaimed “open book,” Trump’s resistance to discovery could portray him as evasive, eroding his “untouchable” image amid low approval ratings and ongoing scandals.

Supporters dismiss it as a “witch hunt,” but the case underscores Trump’s pattern: suing to silence critics while avoiding accountability. With deadlines looming, this could force the “ultimate winner” to confront losses in court – a kryptonite blow to his invincible persona.

As the Okeechobee court weighs in, eyes are on whether Trump appeals, settles, or reveals all. This lawsuit, meant to vindicate him, might instead unveil the emperor’s secrets – proving no one, not even Trump, is above the law’s probing gaze.
