Not to rain on your parade but you can't sue a sitting president for defamation. Once he becomes a private citizen it is a completely different thing. Its also a bad reflection on him and exposes him for being divisive and race baiting. So this chick is wrong. Seriously guys, the president is immune and the same rules do not apply. The only way to remove is Impeachment or 25th amendment. Nixon vs Fitgerald 1982 In a 5-4 decision, the Court ruled that the President is entitled to absolute immunity from legal liability for civil damages based on his official acts.
The lawsuit also triggered a landmark legal precedent by the Supreme Court, which ruled that a sitting president is not exempt from civil litigation for acts committed outside of public office.

Yes you can, because the offense was committed before he became president. See Clinton for precedent.
