Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says that if he’s elected president, American newspapers should watch out.
Trump says at a campaign rally in Fort Worth, Texas, that he wants to make it easier to file lawsuits against newspapers over what they report.
He says that if he’s elected, he will “open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money.”
He adds, “If I become president, oh, do they have problems.”

Trump is a baller
If the contest will be between Horrible Hillary and Donald Dope, there’ll be no one to vote for. It looks hopeless!
The only solution is mass teshuva ushering in bi’as haMoshiach.
He’s not just a lunatic but extremely uneducated and uninformed. The current libel laws do not provide privilege to reporting with malice. In other words, what he wants to allow is already permitted.
It’s rare for someone who has been suing all of his life to know so little about tort law.
Perhaps this is what they taught at Trump University…
