Trump Wants To Sue Clinton Over ‘Nasty’ Ads

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump promised to bring legal action against his political opponents for running “nasty” ads against him.

Trump made the remarks in reference to a Clinton campaign ad that depicts combat veterans and Gold Star families reacting to his incendiary remarks about Republican Sen. John McCain’s war record and the Muslim parents of a slain U.S. soldier.

“There is nobody that loves the vets more or respects the vets more,” Trump said, in reference to the ad. “They’re spending hundreds of millions of dollars on false commercials, and it’s a disgrace. So what we’ll do, I guess we’ll sue them. Let’s sue them.”

He made the remarks at one of his signature campaign rallies in Henderson, Nev., during a section of his stump speech concerning the plight of veterans. (RELATED: Trump Lawyers Gearing Up For Fight With New York Times)

Trump regularly threatens to bring causes of action against those he perceives as opposing them. His lawyers recently threatened to sue The New York Times if they published an excerpt and accompanying story about his 1995 tax return.

During the Republican National Convention in July, the Trump Organization’s general counsel sent a letter to “The Art of the Deal” ghostwriter Tony Schwartz, after Schwartz made a series of disparaging remarks about Trump in print and on television. The letter threatened a lawsuit and demanded that he surrender all royalties he accrued from the book’s considerable commercial success and retract the controversial statements.

“Simply stated, your statements are not only completely disingenuous, but replete with outright lies, false and destructive statements, and downright fabrications which you know to be completely untrue, thereby exposing you to liability for damages and other tortious harm,” the letter read.

He has not followed through on any of the threats.

Maybe I haven't seen some of the ads, but the ones I have seen, she's just using Trumps own statements against him.  Is Trump going to name himself as party to the suit?

I want to see him meow and scratch furniture.

I remember clearly in elementary school we had this one kid go around and whenever he didn't' get his way or someone hurt his feelings, he would scream "My daddy is a lawyer and I'm going to sue you.."

Hell why didn't you tell us you went to school with Donald? ;)

I think that both of these candidates will try to curtail our 1st amendment rights.

When I went to school, that was the kid that got his butt kicked after school, by everyone. Trump is going to be that kid on November 8.

Neither have respect for the Constitution and don't see it as a legal document they have to follow or protect.

He's just taken away any goodwill Pence made me feel toward the ticket.

What a disgusting, loathsome creature he is.

[geronl]

Trump has been the nasty one in this campaign

Like clockwork and pointed out many, many times on this site.

As soon as Trump has a good issue, an advantage, or anything that could yield positive results to him, he blows it by doing or saying something stupid. He is sandbagging his own campaign.

You can decide if it is by design or by incompetence.

Why can't it be both? Maybe Hillary picked him knowing that his ego would cause him to self destruct.

[Gov Bean Counter]

I want to sue Trump for his bad combover...

[HonestJohn]

I'm going to sue Trump for his verbal and text incontinence.  His words are meme-ridden cesspools infecting the body politic, weakening it.

And he did this with knowledge aforethought.

Just like an AIDS-infected man injecting his blood into stored bloodbags at a blood bank.

Ah yes, TRUMP - that Champion of the First Amendment.

Wants to sue his political "rival" because her ads he considers "Nasty".

More proof that Trump will be a bigger despotic tyrant than Hillary could ever hope to be.

If his supporters enthusiastic cheers to his threat to expand libel laws to sue publications that were critical of him is any guide, this latest whiny threat from him will be met with the same response

Of course they will.  Some of them have actually stated that he needs to act as a dictator in order to 'do what must be done', and our national security requires Trump do whatever necessary to "save us".

I would expect them to applaud any egregious act and tyrannical program from Trump, no matter how insane or despotic it is.

In this way - they are the same as the True Believers for Obama.

Yes, I have heard that even last fall, that some of his supporters told me he had to what he had to do to "keep us all safe".
I told one such person that was "my job to keep me and my family safe, thank you very much."

[Applewood]

If Trump can't handle his opponent's campaign ads, what is he going to do as president when some world leader "disses" him?  Is he going to sue?  Maybe invade the country or drop bombs on it?

The anti-Trump ads saying Trump is dangerous are true. We have endured a child in the Oval Office for 8 years, but Trump's tantrums could have far more severe consequences.  At least Obama didn't drop any nukes on countries he didn't like.
