  36. ​ @pgtmr2713  And you tell me liberals are more violent. Let me tell you a story. In January 2005, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts filed a lawsuit in a Florida state court after the opening of two Native American casinos, which both operated under the Hard Rock brand. In his lawsuit, Trump claimed that the companies had unlawfully conspired with one of his former associates to cheat him out of a deal, arguing that the projects should be turned over to him. Negotiations with the tribe and construction of the casinos had taken years, raising the possibility that the state’s four-year statute of limitations had passed before Trump finally got around to filing the lawsuit. If Power Plant (an affiliate of the casinos' developer) could prove Trump knew in early 2000 that his former associate was working on the Hard Rock deal, the case would be thrown out of court. Trump claimed he learned about the deal in January 2001, around the time of the groundbreaking. However, defendants said he had been informed of the projects in 1999. Trump offered no supporting evidence for his claim, so the opposing lawyers filed extensive discovery demands, seeking emails, computer files, calendars and other records that might prove he knew about the casino deal before 2000. A full year into the case, Trump and his company, Trump Hotels, had produced only a single box of documents, many of which were irrelevant. Power Plant's lawyers obtained a court order compelling Trump and his company to hand over the relevant information and documents. In a March 2006 response, Trump’s lawyers argued that the emails and other electronic documents had not been produced because the company didn’t have them, claiming it had no servers until 2001, the year Trump claimed he had learned of the Power Plant project. They also claimed Trump Hotels had no policy regarding retaining documents until 2003. The judge ordered Trump executives to file sworn statements attesting to how their email systems had worked from 1996 onward. In response, Trump Hotels filed an affidavit from one of its information technology managers stating that it had had no servers prior to 2001, which was a lie. During a deposition nine months after he had signed the affidavit, the same Trump executive admitted his assertions in it were untrue. An IBM Domino server had been installed in 1999, the same year witnesses for Power Plant contended that Trump had learned of the casino deal. As early as 1997, the Trump corporations had used servers off-site, according to sworn testimony. The following year, the Trump Organization and Trump Hotels moved to another email provider. Despite knowing back in 2001 that Trump might want to file a lawsuit, his companies had deleted emails and other records without checking if they might be evidence in his case. Beginning around 2003, the company wiped clear the data from everyone’s computers every year. Lawyers for Trump Hotels had never sent out the usual communication issued during litigation instructing employees to stop destroying records that might be related to the case. The deletions continued, and backup tapes were reused, erasing the data they held. Power Plant's lawyers also discovered that after the lawsuit was filed, Trump Hotels disposed of a key witness’ computer without preserving the data on it. In subsequent filings, Power Plant maintained that Trump Hotels had intentionally deceived the court in its March 2006 filing when it claimed it had located no emails relevant to the case because, at that point, it had not yet conducted any searches of its computer system. Trump Hotels executives did not instruct their IT department to examine backup computer tapes until 2007. But when computer specialists finally attempted to electronically locate any relevant documents that had survived the deletions, the procedures were inadequate. While looking for relevant documents, the technology team was told to use only two search terms: the name of the tribe and the last name of the former Trump associate. So even if there was an email that stated, “Donald Trump learned the full details of the Hard Rock casino deal in Florida in 1999,” it would not have been found by that search. Power Plant asked the judge either to impose sanctions or allow its own expert to search for relevant digital records. Trump Hotels argued it had done nothing improper, although its lawyers acknowledged having made some mistakes. Still, the judge ordered Trump Hotels to make its servers and computer systems available for inspection by a computer forensics consulting firm. That review showed there was no digital data in the computers, servers or backup tapes prior to January 2001, when Trump claimed to have learned of the Florida casino deal. Trump Hotels dropped the suit a few months later. But sure, Trump would never destroy evidence.

  75.  @EnhancedCognition  From the information I could find about Trump's lawsuits, most of them (or at least the higher profile ones) were settled out of court. Which is hilarious because Trump once said "If you settle suits, you get sued more. It's true. I don't settle anything. I don't settle." Here are just a few lawsuits he settled: a $25 million lawsuit with Palm Beach in 2006, a $40 million lawsuit with Deutsche Bank in 2008, and a lawsuit in the late 1990s in which a rival casino owner accused Trump of spying and conspiracy (but still, "no collusion," right?). Oh, and there was that time he was sued by the Justice Department for housing discrimination. And this was during the Nixon administration. Yes, even the Nixon administration thought Trump was too unethical. But look, I totally get why people would want to vote for a political outsider who can shake up the system. I really do. What I don't get is why anyone ever thought Trump should be that. There was a headline during the election about Ted Cruz's college roommate saying something to the effect of "He could agree with me on everything and I would hate him 1% less because everything I hate about him stems from his personality." That's how I see Trump. I'm sure some people like him specifically because of his brash personality, but oh my God, does it get really annoying really quickly. If you want someone to send a message to Washington, why would it be the guy whose history with lawsuits reads like everyone else's in Washington?
