The vendor is donating a percentage of the proceeds to <em>&#8220;organizations that support democracy, immigrant rights and  Latino education.&#8221;<\/em> What makes this legal action notable has nothing to do with the facts of the case. Trump actually has no case as it is entirely within the vendor&#8217;s First Amendment rights to produce and sell merchandise with a political message. For someone who pretends to aspire to the presidency, Trump should learn a little something about the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>No, what makes this newsworthy is simply the cumulative effect of Trump&#8217;s growing collection of lawsuits. Petulant little crybaby\/bully that he is, Trump seems ready to file suits at the drop of a <em>&#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221;<\/em> hat. <em>[Note: Trump has trademarked that slogan so maybe he&#8217;ll sue me for using it]<\/em> The list of legal compalints that he has filed or threatened is extensive, and pretty hilarious. Here are the ones that I&#8217;ve been able to compile:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In 2013 Angelo Carusone&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=9132\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Dump Trump&#8221;<\/a> campaign aimed to persuade Macy&#8217;s to sever their business relationship with Trump. More recently Trump claims to have broken off that relationship himself with a parting slap at what an awful company Macy&#8217;s is.<\/li>\n<li>Trump recently <a href=\"http:\/\/gawker.com\/5981649\/donald-trump-is-suing-bill-maher-over-a-stupid-5-million-bet\" target=\"_blank\">threatened to sue<\/a> Bill Maher for having made a joke about his thoroughly joke-worthy challenge to get hold of President Obama\u2019s college transcripts.<\/li>\n<li>Trump claims to have filed a $500 million lawsuit against Univision. And he&#8217;s going after NBC too. Both of these are related to their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=29065\" target=\"_blank\">cutting ties<\/a> with his Miss Universe pageant following his remarks about Mexicans being criminals and rapists.<\/li>\n<li>Trump is suing Jose Andres after the mega-chef <a href=\"http:\/\/talkingpointsmemo.com\/livewire\/donald-trump-jose-andres-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\">pulled out<\/a> of a restaurant deal with his DC Hotel. This was also a response to Trump&#8217;s racist comments.<\/li>\n<li>Trump has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/donald-trump-threatens-to-sue-national-hispanic-media-coalition\/\" target=\"_blank\">threatened to sue<\/a> the National Hispanic Media Coalition for exercising their free speech rights.<\/li>\n<li>Trump recently <a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/ballot-box\/presidential-races\/254539-trump-threatens-to-sue-attack-ad-group\" target=\"_blank\">threatened to sue<\/a> the conservative Club for Growth because they ran some negative ads against him.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<strong>Late Additions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<li>Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/volokh-conspiracy\/wp\/2015\/09\/23\/donald-trump-threatens-to-sue-over-stoptrump-us-t-shirts-but-he-doesnt-have-a-case\/\" target=\"_blank\">threatened to sue<\/a> a small t-shirt vendor who is producing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stoptrump.us\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Stop Trump&#8221;<\/a> merchandise in response to his racist assaults on the Latino community.<\/li>\n<li>After losing to Ted Cruz in the Iowa caucus, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=30901\" target=\"_blank\">Trump threatened to sue<\/a> him for campaign violations as well as to challenge his citizenship status and eligibility to serve as president.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are all pretty recent, and most are after he announced his presidential campaign. There have been many other Trump litigations that go back decades as compiled by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/articles\/2015\/07\/06\/trump-sued-everyone-but-his-hairdresser.html\" target=\"_blank\">Daily Beast<\/a>. And that isn&#8217;t even counting the legal actions that have been taken against him. Most notable is the New York Attorney General&#8217;s case against Trump for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=10438\" target=\"_blank\">defrauding the students<\/a> of his phony Trump University. But the most disgusting episode is one where Trump dispatched his attorney to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=29302\" target=\"_blank\">literally threaten a reporter<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI will make sure that you and I meet one day while we\u2019re in the courthouse. And I will take you for every penny you still don\u2019t have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know,\u201d Cohen said. \u201cSo I\u2019m warning you, tread very f*cking lightly, because what I\u2019m going to do to you is going to be f*cking disgusting. You understand me?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And that is the Donald Trump who wants to be president; who Republicans are currently supporting more than any other candidate; whose rivals have signed pledges to support if he gets the nomination.
