Does anyone have the count of how many times Trump has threatened to sue someone?
If you search it on google you get about 37,400,000 results. I know alot of those are probably duplicate stories
In related news:
Trump: Ted Cruz is a nasty guy whom no one likes — and I might sue him myself over his eligibility
Might sue.... he might sue. In the debates didn't Trump say he wouldn't sue Cruz.
Trump for president... Litigator in Chief.
But when Trump wins he will donate the proceeds to charity.
I have know problem with Trump being aggressive in pursuit of his legal business dealings. He is a leader a fighter and a winner. This is what we need right now.
The art of the deal:
1. Make a bad deal
2. File. Bankruptcy
3. Threaten to sue anyone who writes about it
If this old news is all they have to hitTrump with pretty weak.
Just imagine that bully with the full force of the US Just-Us Department behind him doing his dirty deeds. It won’t be “you’re fired.” It will be “ruin their lives”. “Arrest them”, “throw the bum in Jail”.
His Administration will be no different than Barkies. Litigate the Public into submission or investigate them into bankruptcy.
No One dare challenge the All Powerful Don.
Yeah he’s a real stand up guy... /s
Would you prefer another George W. That just sat there and took it?
Think of President Trump threatening to sue while backed up by the power of the IRS.
“Let me tell you..”
“NO! I don’t care. None of that matters. Trump will make America great again!”
There, I just summarized 80% of the current thread conversations on FR.
Press suppression? Sounds like a dimocratic tactic
Sounds a bit ‘Obamian’ to me.
When someone using their “newspaper” to attempt to harm you with fraudulent reporting, of course you tell them “I am going to sue you”.
If the Newspaper is sure of their facts, and not doing the standard sloppy drive by hit piece, they have nothing to fear of Trump. If the facts are really on their side, what is the Wash Po afraid of?
The Donald, the Oligarch Maximus for whom the deals mean utilizing your back pocket politicians and your corporate lawyers and accountants.
Not to worry, though, for the Donald will make America great again with his tweets, fully leveraging his friend Putin, and applying the Best Book Ever Written(after the Bible, of course).
Thus destroying several false cult memes, including, “everyone who works with him has a good experience, “ and, “he’s a business genius,” and “he got out of Atlantic City before it was no longer a good place for business” (there are still profitable casino operators in Atlantic City, but trump is not one.)
That’s what he always does. hahahaha!
Trump plays to win. Sometimes that involves using attorneys. Good.
This is actually getting scary.
He does not appear to be a man who can handle any criticism without firing all his guns.
Is this the temperament we want in a Commander in Chief?
Just asking.
The further this race progresses the less and less I like Trump. He is not a true Conservative.
The cash flow of the casino became such that it could not pay its bills without a cash infusion from Trump, which he was unwilling to do.
Trump's operating method is that each property stands or falls on its own.
Trump doesn’t roll over and play dead. Good or bad that’s his tendencies.
I am baffled by the willful blindness of many of Trump’s Freerepublic supporters. I’m not talking about obvious trolls who just joined; I mean otherwise conservative posters. I remember a time when a big government (a pro-NSA, unrepentant abuser of eminent domain, who hints at further abuse of executive action), litigious, Manhattan social-liberal wasn’t something many on this board would have been excited about. He’s like Mitt Romney with a big mouth and (the promise of) a big wall.
All I can say is, when you marry a cheater, don’t be surprised when they cheat on you. You can’t say “he’s just being smart politically”, or “he’s just using Art-of-the-Deal negotiating tactics” when he says something you don’t like, but trust him implicitly when he throws out populist Republican red-meat conveniently during a primary. Wait...I guess you CAN do that, as many are. I just don’t get it. How can you even be sure the southern border position is sincere and not up for negotiation? Certainly one should question his consistency, if not his integrity.
I think that many have just gone too far at this point to turn back, or examine the really “yuuge” ideological problems with this guy. We all enjoyed seeing him bring up topics nobody would be discussing if not for him, and attacking PC culture, but I suspect too many went all-in on the guy too early and staked too much on him to turn back now without some humble pie on forums and around dinner tables. So they go on following blindly.
I don’t even mind the ad hominem attacks so much. Both sides of the Cruz v. Trump argument have fallen into those. But seeing conservative posters adopt liberal talking points on Ethanol, taxing the “rich” on carried interest, laying down social issues to “win” whatever that means beyond the election, and how it was “legal” to abuse eminent domain for private interests really disheartens me.
Our founders chose a discerning position with regard to government, walking the fine line between tyranny and anarchy (which inevitably leads to more tyranny). Yet now, to “win” Freepers are acting like populist mobs, reaching for a mere assassin against the prior abusers of power. When does that ever work? How did it work for 19th century France? How about those who hated the impotent Weimar Republic? The abuses of Batista? The Czars in Russia?
Conservatives, unlike liberals, should not be surprised when their pig starts walking. We are too thoughtful to have the excuse of simple youth or ignorance. Support Trump at your own ideological peril. It’s not that I don’t think he can win; it’s that it will bring me no joy to see you proven wrong when as president he further disregards the separation of powers and appoints socially liberal justices.
I will admit that he will get somewhat better “deals” than Boehner or Ryan... I suppose if you are selling out conservatism, one should indeed get the best price possible.
