Well in that video, he was threatening Jeff Bezos. Jeff has far more billions than Trump. This could get funny. Just like if Bloomberg runs, they both have far more billions than Trump. And I think the reason Trump doesn't want to reveal his taxes is because he has overstated his wealth.

The above law would eliminate the garbage on the internet. At very least, people would think twice before posting.
Normally Republicans are against lawsuits. Its kind of one of those common core beliefs (tort reform, frivilous lawsuits). Just another example how DonDon is contrary to the party that he supposedly has converted to supporting.
What? Where ever did you get that idea?? One of the key arguments against government intervention in business is the availability of a remedy through the courts. Because we have the ability to seek recovery and damages through the courts, we don't need the government to regulate.
Tort reform has to do with capping outrageous jury awards in cases where no such verdict is warrented.
The purpose of a judgment is to put the person in the same place they were before the incident occurred. If you are in a car accident and suffer an injury that requires medical treatment, etc., you are entitled to recover the costs you incurred for treatment and future costs that are necessary to "make you whole" had the incident not occurred.
The issue is when a person is awarded MILLIONS in cases where the verdict amounts to a lottery jackpot and not in line with the facts and damages of the case.
I am in the legal profession and have been on both the plaintiff's side and the defense side in civil cases. I have worked for law firms and Fortune 100 companies. I have worked on Medical Malpractice cases, toxic shock cases, Ford rollover cases, anti-trust cases, contract cases, patent infringement cases, etc., and I support Tort reform that makes suing to win the lottery not possible.
As long as jury awards are supported by the damages, I have no problem. I also have no problem with awarding Punitive damages when warranted, but having been involved in at least 100 trials in my career, I see how jurors conflate the legal remedy with their emotional involvement and the result, more often then not, is a hugely inflated verdict.
The benefits of Tort Reform are that medical providers in the high risk areas, like obstetrics, can afford the medical malpractice insurance.
This is straight out of the Hugo Chavez playbook. Weaken the press so they can't go after the dictator. It's had appeal for dictators in South America outside of Venezuela too. Now Trump is bringing it north of the border.
Trump just said at his rally in TX that he wants to "open up the floodgates of libel lawsuits". Freedom of speech is a 1st amendment right you liberal coward. What a pathetic fraud this guy is and he's proving to be very dangerous for the constitution and this country already.
I know. It's getting scary. Trump is totalitarian material, and his fans are completely hypnotized.

Sorry, missed that. Maybe a mod can weld these threads, or delete this one.
