A cease and desist letter?
That seems mild. Shouldn’t trump verbally blast them with plenty of good ol’ vitriol?
That’s his style, right?
A “Strongly worded letter” is more Presidential, just ask Obama.
In my opinion, he’s showing his power & going straight for the jugular. He’s not going to waste time on this BS..just shut them up/down.
It is brilliant because now everyone will want to read the letter. He doesn’t need to spend millions on adds to counter these attack adds. He just has to tweet a link to his cease and desist letter.
“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.
He did that too.
A C&D letter is a prerequisite for a defamation/libel/slander lawsuit. Which could end up with Trump taking CFG to the cleaners.
Golly. Imagine how awesome this would be if Trump were actually conservative.
No matter what his style is, his company (and his name) will be vigorously defended by his lawyers, most likely at the direction of his children. Such ads likely wouldn’t bother Trump more than a reply of ‘they’re filled with baseless lies.’
Club for Growth needs to fully understand this, you’re welcome to go after the man, but you go after the name, and you’re going to end up with a whole lot of lawyers who have absolutely no problem asking very awkward questions during deposition.
Vitriol: violent hate and anger expressed through severe criticism
My, my. Sounds like your guy is losing in the pols.
I think a cease and desist letter is the opening salvo of litigation. It positions him to be able to sue on more serious charges, should he choose. (I think....)
Neither approach is mutually exclusive. A blast of vitriol, a cease and desist letter, THEN sue them.
