I’m not saying lies should get promoted, but I have never seen a campaign season where a candidate files a lawsuit against another candidate for making an attack ad.

...

Trump may have close to $10 billion in assets. It’s wise to protect them and prevent them from being turned into a liability. Other candidates are still free to tell the truth if they want to attack him.

Does this mean they can't run attack ads then?

He threatened to sue Club for Growth over these ads below.

For what, I don't know, maybe it's because they used old and current news clips framing Donald's positions that he doesn't want people to know about? But, this is a campaign, attack ads are part of the game, and they are free speech, so long as they aren't libel and slander.
