1. His idea of libel

is when someone tells the unflattering truth about him. He thinks no one is allowed to speak ill of him, libelously or not, but he has absolutely license to slander, libel, and otherwise defame others.

it is all about him. He can talk trash about anyone but no one is supposed to say a word that is not bowing down to the con man whether it is true or not.

A man who hates government and pays no taxes, uses the US legal system as
his personal attack dog.

Why has no-one ever brought up the circumstances of Donald's grandfather's arrival here, after he was deported from his own county?

He has libeled so many people on a daily basis, he's really vulnerable to a tsunami of lawsuits.

I wonder if his lawyers have explained New York Times v. Sullivan to him. Beyond that, libel is a state court action. The Congress really ought not have much to say on the issue.

You'll have to produce whatever they "found" at some point during the legal process.

Put up or shut up, Trumpy boy.
