Trump loves to talk trash but, and like any bully, when the tables are turned you see how sensitive he is. He can dish it out but definitely can't take it.
And people really want this weak man to be president. Btw, he fully supports our current Big Brother system. But rights be damned, lets vote for a loud mouth with no vision, just ridiculous empty promises.
The guy is always trashing the press but he loves being the center of attention. The thing is one of these days the press is gonna be like ok I'm sick of this guy trashing us let's talk about someone new. #BernieSanders

I agree with Trump. The press is free to report truth, they are not free to write hit pieces they know are false to further political agendas.
A New Jersey appeals court has affirmed a lower court's ruling to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought by Donald Trump against a book author who claimed the real estate magnate/reality TV star isn't really a billionaire.
On another occasion, after a colleague and I wrote a story about his looming casino bankruptcy, he called to remind me that I’d tried to “extort” an autographed copy of one of his books, How to Get Rich, from him for my mother. When I told him that was unlikely since my mom had been dead for about a decade, Donald didn’t miss a beat. He immediately began speaking glowingly of his private golf course in Westchester, New York, and suggested that we play a round there together sometime soon.
When Timothy L. O’Brien—then a staff writer at The New York Times—had the temerity to report in the paper of record, on October 23, 2005 (and in his book TrumpNation, published days later), that “three people with direct knowledge of Donald’s finances” had told him Trump was worth “somewhere between $150 million and $250 million,” Trump was incensed, and a few months later filed suit. “By anyone’s standards, this still qualified Donald as comfortably wealthy,” O’Brien continued in the article, “but none of these people thought that he was remotely close to being a billionaire.” Outrageous, countered Trump. “You can go ahead and speak to guys who have 400‑pound wives at home who are jealous of me, but the guys who really know me know I’m a great builder,” he told O’Brien.

Trump's yammering comes from a place of constitutional ignorance, and it appears he once again engages his mouth before thinking. Doesn't his handlers act in a filter capacity? Does he believe with a lead so big over the other candidates he can verbalize anything that comes to mind and suffer no repercussions? Or is it merely for shock value?
So taking it means not being weak ?
Perhaps your ideas of what weakness is make no sense in the true business world.
Why SHOULDN'T he freak out on those who attack him, my goodness you people are bland.

Well if it's a "common sense" change to an existing right provided by the Constitution, the Left should fully support him.
Shouldn't they?

Maybe if he was low key and kept his big mouth shut he wouldn't have to worry about a big target painted over his back. He's only shooting himself in the foot with his comments.

Jon Oliver summed Trump up pretty much.
The thing is he says lots of stuff ya know like the one guy in the group who always runs his mouth but never actually does anything.
As Oliver said he has threatened lawsuits tons of times but never done it. Maybe that's all it takes that and using money as a weapon behind his threats.
