Find a comfy seat and grab the popcorn, there's a riveting Facebook Live on the Hillary Clinton Facebook page Tuesday.

Her campaign team has decided to try and read out 5,500 lawsuits they believe Trump is involved with one way or another in under four hours.

While one person keeps tally on a whiteboard, two others take turns to read the title of each suit.

Others were less impressed, with one deciding: "OMFG THIS IS PETTY AF."
