Donald Trump may be looking to get litigious with the Washington Post after the newspaper published an article detailing the bankruptcy of the billionaire presidential candidate's Atlantic City casino.

When asked to discuss the details of the Taj Mahal's failure in the early '90s, Trump said, "This was not personal. This was a corporate deal. If you write this one, I'm suing you."

How would a DT govern? The only way he knows - intimidation. Good luck with that.

“Donald Trump has lined up three New York hedge funds, including money from billionaire GEORGE SOROS, to invest $160 million in his Chicago skyscraper, a key piece in perhaps the largest construction financing in the city’s history, according to real estate sources and public documents.” Chicago Tribune 1/18/16

One of the things about “New York values” that didn’t get a lot of attention is the incessant use of litigation threats. Trump should realize that he alienates a bunch of voters west of the Delaware River every time he makes a threat like this.

You wouldn’t like a president who would kick the democrat’s behinds? The globalists? the list goes on. . .

Ted puts on a grand display, gives our detractors EXACTLY what they want, then turns around & makes some whining excuse about it. He rolled over for the gay lobby. He’ll do it with the baby killers, too. He just hasn’t had the chance yet.

Thanks. Speaking of Chicago, Rush just mentioned that Cruz is reporting that Trump funded Rahm Emanuel.
