Donald Trump Sues Again
Posted on December 18, 2007 at 9:45 am (PST)
Donald Trump is going after Los Angeles Times columnist David Lazarus for printing what Trump claims are lies about him. PageSix reports:
Lazarus wrote a story last Wednesday about a Trump University seminar that had taken place recently in California, and in the article Lazarus stated that the seminar was actually “a two-hour sales pitch for a three-day workshop that would cost people $1,495”; that Trump has had to seek bankruptcy protection; and that his primary claim to fame was " hosting The Apprentice.”
Trump, who is asserting that parts of the article are defamatory, not only called the reporter to give him a piece of his mind but informed Lazarus that the two might meet up — in court! “I am thinking about suing him,” Trump told PageSix. “He made certain statements that are false. I thought it was inappropriate.”
He particularly took issue with the statement that his primary claim to fame was a reality show. “I am considered by many to be, by far, the hottest name in real estate,” Trump wrote in a letter to The Times’ business editor. When Lazarus read that, he retorted: “Show of hands: How many people think of Donald Trump as, by far, the hottest name in real estate? How many think of him as the guy who fires people on TV?”
“He’s a wisea**,” Trump said. “You can’t let people get away with lies. You have to fight for the truth,” and because The Times printed his letter, Trump is still debating whether or not to sue Lazarus or the paper — or both. “The Los Angeles Times are very concerned,” he says. “I think Lazarus painted himself into a corner and he knows it.”
If you want to get embarassed publicly, and threatened with a lawsuit, by Donald Trump just say these words, "Trump filed for bankruptcy."
That picture above is not really the Donald, but that’s how I imagine him at that age. Below is the Donald all grown up in real life, with hotties everywhere. What kind of a convention did he bring his wife to that day?

Nice picture, but surely you don’t think Donald Trump is capable of reading at that age or any other. As near as I can tell he is now and will always be the prime example of scum… He can’t make money from his own businesses so he tries to pawn off his “knowledge” to poor idiots willing to pay for the “knowledge” of the biggest embarrasment to American business…. How funny it was to see him firing people one day and reading about him taking yet another company into bankruptcy… Do the world a favor, fight stupidity - ignore Trump.
