Almost four and one-half months into Donald Trump's second presidency, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is still facing a civil defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems for falsely claiming that their equipment was used to help Democrat Joe Biden steal the United States' 2020 election from Trump — a claim that was repeatedly debunked by countless recounts. And the far-right MAGA conspiracy theorist is still angry over claims that his pillows are "lumpy" — so angry that, during an appearance on Steve Bannon's "War Room" vodcast, he threatened to bring one of them to his trial when it gets underway on Monday morning, June 2.
Lindell told Bannon, "Yeah, you guys, MyPillow and myself Monday morning, (June 2), the trial starts," Lindell explained. "MyPillow's being sued, everybody. By the way, Steve, this is the same lawyer that, in the deposition, called my pillows lumpy. I told my lawyers, maybe I should bring him one inside. He said: Mike, let's not go there."
Lindell's threat to bring a pillow to his civil defamation trial is getting some reactions on X, formerly Twitter.

Dinesh D'Souza, another far-right conspiracy theorist who promoted false claims about the 2020 election, is praising Lindell.
D'Souza tweeted, "Guys! Mike Lindell is fighting a big case involving election fraud. This guy has put his company on the line. Let’s support him big time. All kinds of great deals on the famous pillows, the Giza dream sheets and more! Go to http://mypillow.com and use promo code DSOUZA."
Christian fundamentalist Craig Scoullar posted, "God will give Mike victory."
But other X users are mocking Lindell.

X user Don Dank referenced Lindell's history of substance abuse problems, noting that he was a "drug addict" in the past.
Boston Democrat Tom Williams posted, "Mike Lindell wants pillows at voting machine trial to prove they aren't 'lumpy.'"
