[Lakhota]

Exclusive USA TODAY analysis finds 3,500 lawsuits, unprecedented for a Presidential nominee.

An exclusive USA TODAY analysis of legal filings across the United States finds that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and his businesses have been involved in at least 3,500 legal actions in federal and state courts during the past three decades. They range from skirmishes with casino patrons to million-dollar real estate suits to personal defamation lawsuits.

The sheer volume of lawsuits is unprecedented for a presidential nominee. No candidate of a major party has had anything approaching the number of Trump’s courtroom entanglements.

Trump involved in 3,500 lawsuits: report

Donald Trump could become the most litigious commander in chief ever elected, according to a new analysis that found an unprecedented number of lawsuits involving a presidential candidate.

Trump and his businesses have been involved in at least 3,500 legal actions in state and federal courts over the last 30 years, a Wednesday USA Today report found.

In more than half of the lawsuits — about 1,900 — Trump or his companies are the plaintiff, while in about 1,450 cases they are the defendant. The rest are bankruptcy or other cases.

The lawsuits involved a range of issues including casino patrons, multi-million dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation suits, Trump's golf courses and business ventures.

Trump is known for his legal battles and even threatened his Republican rivals with litigation in his quest to lock up the Republican nomination earlier this year.

Read the whole article. Is this really someone that should be running for the President of the United States?

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

So what? We live in a litigious society.

 

[rdean]

If he becomes president, will he still have to go to court over his fraud cases on both ends of the country?

Remember, these aren't politically motivated. They are cases from real people who have been harmed by Trump.

I guess Bill Gates should never run for office.

 

[Indeependent]

To reiterate...Bill Gates should not run for office.

 

[PredFan]

Just how fucking stupid are you lefties anyway?

 

[Juan de Fuca]

I love it! an ambulance chasing tort lawyer dream come true. I guess there won't be any reform as long as Donnie is in office.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Jesus fucking christ! This guy has problems.

Is there a number that high?

 

[S.J.]

At least he's not facing prison time, like his opponent.

 

[TemplarKormac]

That's your ninth Trump thread. Are you okay? At any rate...take your pick:

3,500 lawsuits

or

2,000 deleted classified emails

Gee, that's rough.

On one hand you have 3,500 people suing or are being sued by Donald Trump for various reasons. On the other, you have Hillary Clinton who deleted 2,000+ classified emails from an unsecure server, and who also may have compromised at least two terrorism ops because of her sloppy communication practices with her staff, ya know, things that could have gotten people captured or killed.

 

[tinydancer]

Jesus fucking christ! This guy has problems.

Matthew he has over 500 corporations and in 1900 of these cases HE's the one suing someone else.

And it's over 30 freaking years for crying out loud. Do the math. It's zip.

 

[Dale Smith]

Damn, that was the last straw that broke the camel's back....I'm a gonna vote for Hitlery!......said no one ever....

Let's see Trump used a system which is available to everyone and somehow this is significant?

You guys need to get a grip.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Jesus fucking christ! This guy has problems.

Oh no. Is the FBI investigating him too?

 

[Kat]

Second thread on this today. People must be skeered. They can't stop hunting down things to be negative about the T man.

 

[Blackrook]

He runs a multi-billion dollar enterprise, of course he's in a lot of lawsuits. This is stupid, retardedly stupid to even bring this up. Come up with something better or STFU.

They can't comprehend that this happens in business.....especially with businessmen like Trump.
