First he threatens the Club For Growth: http://overlawyered.com/2015/09/donal...

Then, a T-shirt maker: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/vo...

Is this bully still electable? And do any of us still want him?

    The false title of this thread smears Donald Trump. In fact he did not send a cease and desist letter – published as a press release – to the “Club for Growth” because they disagreed with him.

    He accuses them of defamation and extortion. I don’t know if he has a case, but to be sure the Club for Growth has been lying about his position on taxes.

    Probably the press release is Trump’s way of publicizing his objection. It got a lot more news coverage than Club for Growth by itself ever got. I doubt if he would actually take them to court. As a public figure there is a very high standard to prove libel.

    Of course he's threatening those who disagree, statists always try to control the narrative through force, deception or both.
