'Its on!': Tom Arnold claims Trump lawyers are threatening to sue him over 'Apprentice' tape claims
Source: RawStory
Comedian Tom Arnold caused quite a stir earlier this week when he talked about tapes he purportedly has of Donald Trump making wildly offensive comments during his tenure as host of The Apprentice and it seems hes got Team Trumps attention.
On Twitter Wednesday, Arnold claimed to have received a voicemail from someone in Trumps camp threatening him with a defamation suit over his claims that he has tapes of Trump spewing racial slurs and calling his own son a retard.
Rather than being intimidated by this threat, however, Arnold welcomed it as an opportunity for the entire country to see how Trump has treated people over the years.

Given how much information such a lawsuit could potentially reveal on the president-elect, it will be interesting to see if his legal team really pursues it against Arnold in the coming months.

(3,847 posts)calling your own kid a 'retard' will make a lot of people angry. Maybe it's me and I'm trying to stay optimistic.

(62,435 posts)this is just another side show.
there are so many other things that trump is doing that is far more serious and dangerous.
tRump is a psychopath.
Once people understand that tRump doesn't give a flying fuck about anyone (and that includes his kids), they we will finally know how to deal with him.
but for society to naviely continue to try and hold the orange blunder up to some sort of normal ethic and moral standards, is just blatantly fucking stupid.
he is the teflon don as long as we attack him via conventional means.
he has dealt with things like this and worse. it doesn't effect him and all this will do is give more red meat to his followers to call for an open season on the handicapped. There is no logic with these people.
and you can't fight them with logic nor evidence.
tRump will continue to use the old saying, "ya gonna believe me or your lyin' eyes?" and his mouth breathing thugs will rally behind him even if they have handicapped children themselves.
this is the fucked up reality we live in now.

(26,080 posts)while they try to fuck all of us over with their control of the House and Senate so the Democrats need to get on the ball and aggressively pursue the state and federal elected offices more than the presidential one and one area they can attack them through is the courts for their gerrymandering.
Furthermore imo they should consider filing a lawsuit against the varies Republicans and their PACs because I will bet you dollars to donuts they are secretly communicating and coordinating with them.

Anyone can say they are anything they want to be over the phone. Unless their caller ID gives them away. That wasn't an issue in the early '70s.

We 66 million who didn't vote for him need to stick together. He's be after us next.

(20,043 posts)Furthermore, Tom didn't put the tape together himself. He just has it. No doubt the staff has non-disclosure agreements. If Trump wants to sue someone, he can sue them. Even that probably wouldn't work though. They didn't put the words in Trump's mouth.

(2,412 posts)The release of these tapes will make a difference to those in our country that yearn for a leader that we can all respect. This release can cut into the support of evangelical sector and can undercut the reputation of mr. Trump. Don't hold back. Also a courageous act like this can inspire others to speak. I am sure that this will make a difference. We must leave cynicism and hopelessness behind and act positively starting now, with this.

The system is indeed rigged as Trump suggested but not in the way that he alleged.
