    “Nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on the reputation that Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions, has already created for himself,” David McCraw, vice president and assistant general counsel for the newspaper, said in a letter to Trump’s lawyer.

    If Trump disagrees that the story was libelous, “we welcome the opportunity to have a court set him straight,” McCraw said in the letter.

    I would love for the NY times to address substantive issues as well.

    So not to overload all you Hilary fans lets address one issue a week.

    What is the Hilary Syria strategy? Shall we fight 3 enemies at once (ISIL, Al-Nusra & Assad) Can we really win a war that way?

    Trump at least offers a plausible plan that worked in Egypt recently.

    If anyone can offer a substantive answer to my question particularly how you expect to win a war when fighting 3 enemies at once, it would be greatly appreciated.

    I’m going to have to withdraw my support of Trump; that being said, I will not vote for Hillary, either. If I had known months ago what a sexual pervert Trump was (grabbing women in private areas against their will, forcing himself on them by kissing them against their will, groping strange women on a plane, etc.), I would NEVER have supported him, all of this time. Not one or two, but at least four women, including one 74 years old, have all stated that Trump attacked them. Incidentally, for those of you who are smirking, Trump attacked the 74 year old, when she was 38 years old, in the first class compartment of a plane. Also, Trump bragged to Howard Stern that he would walk into the dressing room of beauty contestants. Now, there are those who were teenagers at the time, who have stated that Trump indeed performed such perverted acts. There is no cure for such perversion. We’ve had three perverts in the White House (JFK, LBJ, and Bill Clinton), and we don’t need a fourth one!!

    How telling that these women come out of the woodwork THIRTY YEARS LATER, less than a month before the elections! Yet another dishonest ploy by the media-backed Clinton machine. Vote TRUMP!!!

    Trump tries to sue a newspaper for Libel? (Or just threaten???)

    Obviously TRump doesn’t know the libel laws.

    Obviously TRump doesn’t respect the First Amendment.

    If you want law and order ..
    If you want a Present who abides to the Constitution …

    Don’t vote for Don the Con.
