You can’t sue people for writing bad things about you. That’s called free speech.
You can, however, sue people for writing purposed and malicious lies.
Just horrible. This is totally consistent with Trump’s attitude to Megyn Kelly and when his lawyers threatened to sue a Daily Beast reporter and “ruin him” last year.
I guess he’ll be packing the court with whoever will roll back free speech. Probably cut a deal with a liberal judge who will do this if he can ban “hate speech” too.
This guy is dangerous, dishonest and megalomaniacal.
Actually you can, it's called libel. Newspaper political activists writing opinion pieces under the guise of journalism actual do not deserve the protections that journalists might actually earn.
So now Cruz supporters are backing the MSM.
Free speech does not include lying.
You can be sued for writing lies about someone (libel) and for saying lies about someone (slander), especially if they can prove you did harm to them in some way, like financially. If someone at work is telling lies about you and it keeps you from getting a promotion, or you lose your job because of it, you can sue in court and win, if you can prove it.

If your local newspaper ran story about you being a gay pedophile, I think you’d agree with Trump. Maybe not.
