That's exactly what they did tried on Oprah, famously, after she aired a special in '97 on the fully documented mistreatment of beef cattle and the fifth-world level unsanitary conditions in which the beef - our beef - was prepared.

She beat them - but not without being dragged back and forth to an Oklahoma court for something that should have been dismissed out of hand.

But seriously, yes, you can sue the president for talking down a stock with false information. In fact, Amazon should sue, but they won't.

it should be against the law for a president to speak out against a company purposely trying to affect its stock.
The fact is Bezos is a true billionaire and he can’t stand it. Oh yeah and he also hates that newspaper Bezos owns that doesn’t have flattering things to say about him. Poor little Trumpy.
