Trump Threatens Pro-Paul, Conservative Group With Multi-million Dollar Lawsuit!

Sounds like Trump isn't the defender of free speech he claims he is, unless it's something that a racist supporter says.
 
This is why I scoff at the idea that Trump is an alpha. Alphas don't have such thin skin, especially after being in the public eye most of their lives.

If Rand plays his cards right, he could turn this into a victory for his campaign.
 
Club For Growth has been doing a great job exposing Trump's hard left economic policies; I applaud them.

If Trump thinks he can win such a suit, then he's a retard. If he thinks he can bluff them (as if C4G doesn't know the suit has no chance), then he's a retard. If he made these threats knowing he has has no chance, and that C4G knows he has no chance, which have no effect other than to bring further attention to his atrocious record, then he's a retard. So, seems any way you cut it, Trump's a retard (as, indeed, he must be if he truly believes in the economic policies he advocates).

It is a bit disingenuous to attack Trump in an Ad for positions held something like over a decade ago and no longer holds.

Trump might very well be successful in his lawsuit if they do not indicate in the Ads that these were positions Trump held in the past and not currently. I am going to guess there will be fine print on the screen that will show up briefly to indicate that.

Read the article again, they point out that just weeks ago Trump said many of the things covered in the ads.

When did Trump ever repudiate any of his "former" positions on socialized medicine, bailouts, eminent domain, or taxes?

Even if they didn't date them at all, unless they make up positions he held whole-cloth, I don't think they can win a defemation suit. I don't know all the ins-and-outs, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

He does not have to win, the tactic might be enough to ensure the appropriate language is added.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think the case law is if the person provably stated a certain position at any time in the past, it can be exhibited as evidence to disprove defamation. If you were once a skinhead and said openly racist or pro-Nazi things in the past but renounced them later, it can be reasonably argued the public is well served by being informed you once expressed those views.
 
The complaint is over Trump's statement published in the Advocate on February 15, 2000 to impose a one time net-worth tax of 14.25% on the super wealthy to pay off the national debt. The letter says the Ad is misleading the viewer to believe that is his current tax plan when it is not. They also have an issue with the Morning Joe clip saying he supports higher taxes. They claim that is defamation.

Here is the link to the cease and desist.

So...he never repudiated that position?

If he actually does sue Club For Growth (and then inevitably lose), I hope they countersue for being subjected to a frivilous suit.

...and then use the proceeds to finance more ads against him.
 
I just wonder if The Club for Growth would have gone negative on Trump if he had given them the million dollar donation they asked him for.

The Club for Growth doesn't seem like a very wholesome bunch. After this news gets out about them, it might not be to a candidate's advantage to have his name associated with them.
