(CNN)Donald Trump is not afraid of litigation.
During the presidential campaign alone, he threatened to sue sexual assault accusers, The New York Times for publishing Trump's tax returns and the accounts of two sexual assault accusers, Ted Cruz over his citizenship, and those who created a "nasty" attack ad suggesting he did not support military veterans.
None of these disputes ever materialized into an actual lawsuit -- at least not yet -- but Trump has several pending cases sitting on dockets in federal and state courts across the country as he prepares to be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States on January 20.
Trump recently ended his dispute with certain labor unions and former students of Trump University. Other cases -- such as the former refugee who sued Trump for copyright infringement over a Skittles tweet or the breach of contract claim brought by a kids' dancing troupe -- went away more quietly, with the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissing complaints earlier this month.

They are nothing but scammers and grifters. They have never done an honest day's work in their lives.
