fwiw - this post could use a "Bloom County" 'Bill the Cat as Donald Trump' graphic.

Damn the copyright violations.

Full speed ahead.

I love the fact that The Donald is suing them for $5 *billion* dollars in damages.

What, a gazillion was too over-the-top?

He oughta be after the guy who cut his hair.

You know he doesn't care about the family stuff or allegations of womanizing. It's only that knock on his net worth that bothers him.

you have to be able to show damage to make the big duccats, and misrepresenting his net worth can seriously damage his ability to make the deals that make him the cash

talking smack about his family does nothing to the bottom line so there's no point in suing

I'm not reading the book unless Osama endorses it.

You beat me to it, Monts.

If he wins, maybe he'll be able to afford a better rug than the one he's wearing. Anything that cheesy can't be real.

Let's see, he wins the $5 billion, gives about 1/2 to his lawyer - badabing - Net worth? $2.7 Billion.

It's huge, the biggest idea yet. That's what I'm talking about here.

It's funny that Trump is using Forbes as his measure when about 10 years ago, he complained that they too had under-estimated his wealth... A vast majority of the people are always trying to get off Forbes list, only Trump and a few others are so vain to demand that they SHOULD be included on the list.

I'm guessing about $4.9 billion of that is punitive damages, for putting The Donald through the mental anguish of reading a book.

That's hair? I thought it was a dead rodent.

Funny he didn't sue the NY Times. From the press release:

"The lawsuit further alleges that the defamatory statements were made not only in O'Brien's book, but also in a major article published in the New York Times on the front page of its Sunday Business Section, containing excerpts from the book, as well as in interviews of O'Brien about the book and the article"

Yet he didn't sue the Times for pulishing the stuff. Is he scared of them?
