This is significant in terms of precedent - if the ruling stands, it's dramatically less likely the argument will work in his other lawsuits.
sorta. what is at issue here is that the actions in question are after he held the office. that isn't a trivial difference.
It goes beyond that. Some of the statements were made while in office, but the judge ruled that those particular statements weren't protected either.
I mean he's still defaming her now and he's no longer president...
Yes, and that just makes current and future lawsuits go faster. When the percent of the relevant facts have already been established by it a previous court, doesn't take too long to get to the end stage, which is deciding damages for the new statements.

He should go back to reading his beautiful mind papers... Oh wait he can't lol
