And at a campaign rally in San Diego last Friday, Trump railed against a federal judge overseeing an ongoing lawsuit against Trump University. Trump said Judge Gonzalo Curiel "happens to be, we believe Mexican," and called him a "hater of Donald Trump" who "railroaded" him. Born in Indiana, Curiel was appointed to the federal bench by President Obama. The judge on Tuesday unsealed hundreds of pages of documents in the case.

The trial is set for November — just after Election Day.

Trump’s history of legal actions provides clues about his style as a leader and manager. While he is quick to take credit for anything associated with his name, he is just as quick to distance himself from failures and to place responsibility on others. In one lawsuit — filed against him by condo owners who wanted their money back for a Fort Lauderdale condo that was never built — he testified in a sworn deposition: “Well, the word ‘developing,’ it doesn't mean that we're the developers.”

After Donald Trump offered $5 million if Obama would produce his college records, Bill Maher offered Trump $5 million if he would prove that he was not the son of his mother and an orange haired orangutan. Trump sued Maher and produced his birth certificate in court as if it was going to say that his father was an orangutan.

Yawn  I don&#x27;t see the issue here...The voters simply chose the person that best represented who they are and what they are about.... The candidate who&#x27;s values and choice most resembled their own... The GOP majority voting base sent aMessage loud and clear about their identity and values they hold true to themselves in selecting trump

I heard he once tried to sue a whole country. Maybe that will be his plan for diplomacy. If someone does something we don't like sue them.

Perhaps he is on to something. Rather than addressing issues with terrorists and other countries, we should just sue them. Seems like what trump would do if you looked at his history
