Trump Legally Prohibits Volunteers From Saying Anything Bad About Him — Forever

[paperview]

This is the screen you are shown when you sign up to Dial for Don

Once you click "I agree" and sign your name, you have now agreed to a lifelong gag order to never disparage of demean:

Mr. Donald J. Trump, any member of Mr. Trump’s family, including, but not limited to, Mr. Trump’s spouse, each of Mr. Trump’s children and grandchildren and their respective spouses, including but not limited to Donald J. Trump Jr., Eric F. Trump and Ivanka M. Trump, Tiffany Trump, and Barron Trump, and their respective spouses, children and grandchildren, if any, and Mr. Trump’s siblings and their respective spouses and children, if any.

Any Trump "Family Member Company" -- any entity, partnership, trust or organization that, in whole or in part, was created by or for the benefit of any Family Member or is controlled or owned by any Family Member.

Any "Trump Company" -- any entity, partnership, trust or organization that, in whole or in part, was created by or for the benefit of Mr. Trump or is controlled or owned by Mr. Trump.
"Trump Person" means each of Mr. Trump, each Family Member, each Trump Company, including but not limited to the Company, and each Family Member Company.


You also agree that if you are an employer, you hold each and every one of your employees to the same "no disparagement of demeaning" rule you are held to (even though they are not party to the contract.)

You also agree that none of your employees are allowed to work on any other campaign besides the Trump for President campaign. That's ****ed up. If you don't think so, you've got a screw loose.

I wonder how many people click the actual form and just check the box and sign.
They should know just what it is they are agreeing to.

I intend to make sure they know.

While it is telling about the fragility of his tiny-fingered ego I'm not sure that's enforceable. It's pretty much impossible to legally quantify the term "disparge" and "demean". It's much like his vague adjectives "disgusting" and "a disgrace" he likes to apply to everything like so much peanut butter...... self-absorbed subjective value judgments that cannot be defined.

Looks like a simple, albeit empty, intimidation tool he can hold over people's heads, under the threat of his usual truncheon, the lawsuit. And as we know and he knows, it's not about whether your lawsuit has any merit, it's about whether you can bleed your target to death with legal fees defending yourself. The SOP of a self-absorbed asshole who's been handed everything all his life for doing absolutely nothing.

Still, the threat of suit is there.

Yes. Legal action / penalty of potential litigation is there and if moved upon, it would require someone to retain a lawyer and pay thousands of dollars, possibly many thousands of dollars to get it thrown out.

That's pretty much Donny's gig. He loves that shit. Even when he knows he's going to lose, he still sues.

As someone else noted:
...and even if a judge threw out the NDA his lawyers would appeal the decision and keep on appealing and appealing so as to drive his opponents into bankruptcy.

" It's pretty much impossible to legally quantify the term "disparge" and "demean". Not true. Non Disparagement contracts have held up in some courts.

There's some things in this contract that are definitely illegal though.

I keep telling you that if you don't like the terms of the deal, then don't sign the contract. You seem to believe people are too stupid to make their own decisions.

That's generally true, regarding Trump supporters.

Now tell me, douchbag -- if Billy Joe Bob signs up for this volunteer work, and said BJB has 100 employees working for him, his employees are under the same gag order, as well as the prohibition of working for any campaign other than Trump for President - and BJB has to see to it.

Were those employees a signatory to this contract?

<jeopardy music>

This one is so easy, even you might be able to figure it out.

 

[Pogo]

Hillary hasn't had a Q&A press conference since we were hanging Christmas ornaments and left wing blogs think it's illegal for a candidate to ask volunteers not to say anything bad about the campaign. Another example of insanity on the left.

Guess what Gummo.

This thread STILL isn't about anybody named "Hillary". Never was.

Wassamatta? Can't take the heat?

 

[rdean]

I hear that Hillary only threatens them with death or dismemberment and definitely complete financial disaster to line her pockets...

That's not even funny. Not with what Herr Trump does.

You put your complete trust in a proven compulsive and obvious liar and expect me to trust your opinion, that is funny.

Gather round, company meeting, says Jimbo, owner of the Acme Tool and Die.

JIMBO: OK folks, I volunteered to make phone calls to support the most awesome, bestest, most incredible man in the world, healthiest, too --

Not one bad word, no disparagement, no demeaning -- on or off the clock. Is that clear?

<197 mouths are agape>

Jimbo puts the contract back in his pocket, and finishes with this:

"Oh, also, one more thing. Since I signed this agreement (and yeah, I know you guy's didn't sign anything, but this is Dear Leader we are talking about), I am also informing you as part of my agreement, each and every one here in my employ is prohibited from working for or volunteering your time to anyone but the Trump for President campaign.

Sorry guys and gals, but thems the rules."

This one is so easy, even you might be able to figure it out.

It's only enforceable while they work for the employer. Trump can sue the employer if one of his employees disparage him. However, the employees are under no obligation the minute they leave the company. while they work for the company they are obligated to follow their employer's instructions, or they can be fired. A former employer cannot bind you to any contract you haven't explicitly agreed to.

[SwimExpert]

Non Disparagement contracts have held up in some courts.

For example?

She is correct, but the circumstances matter. A non-disparagement can prohibit a current or former employee from making true statements (they must be true statements, as false statements fall under "defamation") that harm the reputation of the employer. But such clauses cannot be designed as vague or ambiguous catch-all limitations. Because individuals have certain protected speech rights, a non-disparagement clause cannot be so ambiguously far reaching as to infringe upon those rights incidentally. As an example, broad ranging non-disparagement clauses have been rejected by courts where they were found to impede on workers' rights to provide negative feedback on their employer in the course of collective bargaining (which is a protected right via federal statute).

In this case we are talking about Donald Trump, candidate for President of the United States. Employees in question are employed by the Trump campaign. Any reputation questions apply to Donald Trump the Presidential candidate. Therefore, any alleged disparagement from a campaign employee would likely not be found to be an enforceable violation if not directed toward Trump's private business matters. Also, as soon as the campaign is over, Trump's reputation as a candidate for President would become moot. Therefore, it is likely that any attempt to sue for disparagement after the end of the campaign would fall flat. Finally, it is questionable whether or not non-disparagement agreements can be enforced for political candidates. The courts have tended to maintain that political speech is the highest form of protected speech by the constitution, and that above nearly all other considerations the preservation of unhindered political speech is generally by our constitution and system of law. Where "disparagement" of an employer political candidate is political speech, the courts could very likely decide any non-disparagement clause restricting the same is unenforceable in much the same way as the aforementioned instance where such clauses have been rejected in favor of collective bargaining rights.

You did to a certain extent. Many employees have been fired for saying things that embarrass their employers. Employers can place all kinds of restraints on what you say in public. I know the last big corporation I worked for did. You had to take classes every year about what kind of things you are not allowed to say in the workplace or what you can tell the press about the company.

"She"?

I've already looked this up -- these exist for employees while in the employ of some company. I don't see where they can possibly bind a person either for life, or after said contract is terminated. And of course the case where there's no contract at all is even shakier.

It does have something to do with them because when the took the job they agreed to follow company policy. If that includes not disparaging Trump, then they have a legal obligation to comply or they can be fired.

Any "Trump Company" -- any entity, partnership, trust or organization that, in whole or in part, was created by or for the benefit of Mr. Trump or is controlled or owned by Mr. Trump.

Not one bad word, no disparagement, no demeaning -- on or off the clock. Is that clear?

<197 mouths are agape>

Jimbo puts the contract back in his pocket, and finishes with this:

"Oh, also, one more thing. Since I signed this agreement (and yeah, I know you guy's didn't sign anything, but this is Dear Leader we are talking about), I am also informing you as part of my agreement, each and every one here in my employ is prohibited from working for or volunteering your time to anyone but the Trump for President campaign.

Sorry guys and gals, but thems the rules."


* exact language from the Trump Lifelong Loyalty Contract.

Employers terminate employees for saying things the employer doesn't like all the time. Left wing douche bags like you are incessantly hooting for this kind of behavior, so why do you object to if when Trump adopts the same policy? Remember the CEO of Mozilla who got canned when his opposition to gay marriage became public? Douche bags like you were the ones screaming that Mozilla should can him.

This is your Trump supporter, ^ boys and gals.

He's actually cool with a gag order to not say a bad word about anything Trump, to extend to people who have nothing to do with an agreement their employer signed.

On or off the clock. And he even thinks it's ay-oh-tay to force an employee to not be allowed to volunteer for any campaign except Trump for President.

Are some of you guys seeing just how dangerous Trump and their supporters are?

"Ve haf vays off meking you agree...."

Doesn't surprise me. He's an authoritarian-passive pansy. Loves it when a Daddy figure tells him what to do. Can't drop to his knees fast enough. No balls whatsoever.

Non Disparagement contracts have held up in some courts.

For example?

She is correct, but the circumstances matter. A non-disparagement can prohibit a current or former employee from making true statements (they must be true statements, as false statements fall under "defamation") that harm the reputation of the employer. But such clauses cannot be designed as vague or ambiguous catch-all limitations. Because individuals have certain protected speech rights, a non-disparagement clause cannot be so ambiguously far reaching as to infringe upon those rights incidentally. As an example, broad ranging non-disparagement clauses have been rejected by courts where they were found to impede on workers' rights to provide negative feedback on their employer in the course of collective bargaining (which is a protected right via federal statute).

In this case we are talking about Donald Trump, candidate for President of the United States. Employees in question are employed by the Trump campaign. Any reputation questions apply to Donald Trump the Presidential candidate. Therefore, any alleged disparagement from a campaign employee would likely not be found to be an enforceable violation if not directed toward Trump's private business matters. Also, as soon as the campaign is over, Trump's reputation as a candidate for President would become moot. Therefore, it is likely that any attempt to sue for disparagement after the end of the campaign would fall flat. Finally, it is questionable whether or not non-disparagement agreements can be enforced for political candidates. The courts have tended to maintain that political speech is the highest form of protected speech by the constitution, and that above nearly all other considerations the preservation of unhindered political speech is generally by our constitution and system of law. Where "disparagement" of an employer political candidate is political speech, the courts could very likely decide any non-disparagement clause restricting the same is unenforceable in much the same way as the aforementioned instance where such clauses have been rejected in favor of collective bargaining rights.

"She"?

I've already looked this up -- these exist for employees while in the employ of some company. I don't see where they can possibly bind a person either for life, or after said contract is terminated. And of course the case where there's no contract at all is even shakier.

as noted before, it's the threat of lawsuit, and it would require some to expend money and time to fight it to have it thrown out.

Donny lives for that.

Also, when you sign the agreement, look at the bottom of that contract -- you agree to abide by binding arbitration.
