Trump’s most famous statement on the subject came in February 2016, when he said he’s “going to 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. We’re going to open up those libel laws. So when The New York Times writes a hit piece which is a total disgrace, or when The Washington Post, which is there for other reasons, writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money instead of having no chance of winning because they’re totally protected.” But there were plenty more.

In a tweet on April 6, 2015, Trump wrote, “As dishonest as @RollingStone is I say @HuffingtonPost is worse. Neither has much money - sue them and put them out of business!”

Soon after he entered the race in July 2015, Trump lawyer Michael Cohen threatened to sue The Daily Beast for running a story about rape allegations Trump’s then-wife Ivana Trump made against him in 1989. Cohen told Daily Beast reporters Tim Mak and Brandy Zadrozny, “I will take you for every penny you still don’t have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know,” adding: “So I’m warning you, tread very f—-ing lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be f—-ing disgusting.”

Just a few days later on July 2, the National Hispanic Media Coalition announced that Trump’s chief counsel was “threatening a lawsuit against NHMC” after the group issued a statement calling Trump’s remarks about Mexicans as a “bigoted, racist, anti-Latino rant.”

In January 2016, Trump threatened to sue The Washington Post over a story on how his casinos in Atlantic City filed for bankruptcy in the early 1990s, telling the Post “This was not personal. This was a corporate deal. If you write this one, I’m suing you.” The Post ran the story anyway.

On April 12, 2016, Eric Wemple reported that Trump threatened to sue the Associated Press over a story the news organization ran in October 2015 “about a movement by the directors of the Trump Ocean Club in Panama City to oust a management team installed by the Trump family.”

Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Cay Johnston, author of the book The Making of Donald Trump, said Trump personally called him on April 27, 2016, and threatened to sue him “if he doesn’t like what I report.”

In an interview for The Washington Post’s book on Trump on May 18, 2016, he said, “I will be bringing more libel suits as people—maybe against you folks. I don’t want to threaten, but I find that the press is unbelievably dishonest.”

On July 20, 2016, The New Yorker reported that Trump had threatened to sue his former ghostwriter Tony Schwartz for “defamatory statements Schwartz made to New Yorker writer Jane Mayer about the book he “co-wrote” with Trump, The Art of the Deal. Schwartz claimed Trump didn’t write a word of it and that much of what was written was misleading or not true.

In mid-September, Trump threatened The New York Times in a tweet, saying, “My lawyers want to sue the failing @nytimes so badly for irresponsible intent. I said no (for now), but they are watching. Really disgusting.”

That was two weeks before The New York Times ran its story this weekend, accusing Trump of potentially skirting federal income taxes for more than a decade, which his lawyers promptly threatened to sue over, despite The New York Times clearly being protected by the First Amendment.

NOTE; TIME IS TIGHT: the bill to change the primary needs to be introduced Tuesday to get through both chambers before the assembly adjourns. > > Goal: for Daley to call Speaker Madigan's COS Tim Mapes. Ideally, Daley would also have his friend Mike McClain call Mapes with the same message. > > Overview: > The overall goal is to move the IL primary out of mid March, where they are currently a lifeline to a moderate Republican candidate after the mostly southern Super Tuesday. IL was a key early win for Romney in 12. > Our preference would be for them to move all the way to May, but if they at least move to April 12 or April 19 they will have the day to themselves and presumably garner a lot of coverage. They will also be influencing a big northeast primary day on April 26. > They will receive a bonus of 10% extra delegates if they move to April and 20% if they move to May. Mapes has said repeatedly they don't care about that. > As we discussed, they don't really care about being helpful and feel forgotten and neglected by POTUS. The key point is that this is not an Obama ask, but a Hillary ask. And the Clintons won't forget what their friends have done for them. It would be helpful to feel out what path, if any, we have to get them to yes. This will probably take some pushing. > Thanks again for doing this!

Last Thursday, April 12, I met individually with the Ambassadors from Qatar, Brazil, Peru, Malawi, and Rwanda, in Washington, DC. Below is a summary of key points from each meeting, and we are following-up on each point. I'd welcome your feedback. Sincerely, Ami QATAR - Would like to see WJC "for five minutes" in NYC, to present $1 million check that Qatar promised for WJC's birthday in 2011. - Qatar would welcome our suggestions for investments in Haiti - particularly on education and health. They have allocated most of their $20 million but are happy to consider projects we suggest. I'm collecting input from CF Haiti team.

Als het zo doorgaat moet Trump ook nog Utah gaan verdedigen.

When I interviewed him in 2014, he argued vigorously — despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary — that Mitt Romney lost the 2012 election because many Christian voters were put off by his alien faith. Eventually, I had to to interrupt him.
“I’m actually Mormon,” I said.
He raised his eyebrows. “You are?”
He promptly recalibrated, telling me about a Jewish friend (“great guy, rich guy”) who had moved to Utah and fallen in love with the local creedal breed. “You know,” he said, “people don’t understand the Mormon thing. I do. I get it. They are great people!”

Schijnbaar een Q&A schema van Clinton om haar voor te bereiden op het debat.

quote:

Hillary Clinton has opened up a six-point lead over Donald Trump in the critical battleground state of Florida, according to a new survey by the Florida Atlantic University Business and Economics Polling Initiative (FAU BEPI).

Among likely voters in Florida, Clinton leads Trump 49 percent to 43 percent with 7 percent undecided. That’s an eight-point swing since the last FAU poll of likely Florida voters in August, when Trump was leading 43 percent to 41 percent.

quote:

As I mentioned on our call on Thursday, both the WSJ and the NYT are working on stories about how HRC might approach economic policy issues as a candidate. Both will have a dose of personnel name-gaming, and I've spoken to both to steer them towards progressive names, which they seem to both have on their own.

You heard it from her on the campaign trail last fall, where she laid out the challenges we face. She's casting a wide net, talking to a wide range of people on a range of specific topics. There's no red X on a calendar somewhere, but make no mistake, if she runs, she will take nothing for granted, she'll present bold ideas, and she will fight for every vote."

quote:

The Washington Post has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, writing that the Democratic nominee is not just the lesser of two evils but is “dogged, resilient, purposeful and smart.”
Though Clinton isn’t trusted or liked by many Americans, the board writes in its endorsement, she has a level of experience in government that neither her husband Bill Clinton or President Obama had when they won the White House. The endorsement also points to the historic nature of her candidacy.

“We believe that Ms. Clinton will prove a worthy example to girls who celebrate the election of America’s first female president,” the board writes.
The board stresses that the endorsement isn’t just a reaction to Trump – whom they describe as “dreadful” and “uniquely unqualified to be president.”
“If we believed that Ms. Clinton were the lesser of two evils, we might well urge you to vote for her anyway — that is how strongly we feel about Mr. Trump. But we would also tell you that was our judgment. Fortunately, it is not.”
