Donald Trump sends Club for Growth cease and desist letter

Donald Trump has sent the Club for Growth a cease and desist letter aimed at stopping the conservative outside group from airing a set of attack ads against him in Iowa.

The letter comes a week after the Club for Growth unveiled a set of 30-second ads in Iowa attacking Trump as just another politician who supports liberal policies.

"I am not surprised the dishonest, irrelevant and totally failing Club for Growth has resorted to attacking the definitive front runner, especially after I refused to contribute to their pathetic group," Trump said in a statement. "We will be releasing my current tax proposal, which is a major decrease in taxes, in the next week and will continue to expose the two faced hypocrisy of the Club for Growth and the problems groups like this perpetuate within a broken Washington, D.C."

The cease and desist letter argues that one of the ads is not only "disingenuous, but replete with outright lies, false, defamatory and destructive statements and downright fabrications which you fully know to be untrue." The letter calls out the Club's claim that Trump supports raising taxes, arguing the source for that claim is a gross exaggeration. The Club cited Trump's support in 1999 for a one-time 14.25 percent tax on individual net worth and trusts.

That’s the whole point .. WE NEED TO STOP IGNORING THESE IDIOTS .. AND START MAKING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR WORDS AND ACTIONS.

This very thing is why the country is so ready for Trump. We are sick and tired of the left yanking everybody around by a chain .. like they are the be all .. end all.

IT’S TIME TO TAKE A STAND - AND FIGHT ..!!!!!

I spent 30 years in Los Angeles dealing with very wealthy clients involved with commercial real estate. If I told you how many sons squandered what their fathers built, you would shudder. Not kidding.

I forget. Maybe late 1996 or early 1997. I was probably one of the original members as Jim Robinson called me at home to discuss his plans for the website. I might have been posting the first day it went up.

After a few months, I decided using my real name as a handle was not a good idea so I deactivated it and rejoined as SamAdams76. At the time, I was reading a lot about our founding fathers and was really into craft beer. So that’s how I came about my current screen name.

I was lurking in late 1997 but didn’t get the courage to actually register until April of 1998....

I get that you don't get it. That's not my problem.

Look deeper...look at the BIG picture. Try a little harder.

And if you are lucky...you will get it before election day.

If not...vote for Hillary or Bernie or Uncle Joe.

It is why he not Fred Jr (who died of alcoholism at 42) went into the business. His son Donald Jr was given time to grow up before he was brought into the business.

Actually, the run-up started in 2000, when Bush had to fight to keep his win. It was the first time I ever donated money over the internet. Bush raised $3 Million the first day to start fighting the cheating DemocRATS.

And .. the Solicitor General of TX wrote the legal documents which he also argued before the Supreme Court. Now you know why the left HATES Cruz so much.

Good grief..I just checked my sign-up - April 04. I cannot believe it’s been that long. Lurked for about a year, came via Drudge also.

Before that I hung out at Bill Whittle’s old site...ejectejecteject.

.
Cat covering his crap by scratching the rug?

The big picture is a huckster remaking himself, and even saying publicly that he has no need to confess his sins because he has none.

If that’s your guy, you have a huge problem.

I totally agree. Defamation; Bribery; possibly a few others.

Actually FR was linked on Drudge in ‘97.

Everyone says that Trump is the same person he has always been. I moved to Manhattan in 1978. Trump was all over the news then as he is now.

He hasn't change an iota.

Of course, your keyboard courage and wisdom gives you all you need...right?

You may not like him...but cut the lying. You insult FR. And YOU WILL GET BANNED.

Sounds like Donald was handled very reasonably by his family, and partners of same.

The lies seem to emanate from your keyboard.

Trump is on record everywhere, so your defense is hollow.

His liberal politics can’t be hidden.

Makes sense. There are still quite a few from 1998, and a few from 1997.
