Trump exposes his real motivation with ill-considered lawsuit against newspaper - Alex Wagner - MSNBC

Donald Trump is pressing his grievances with the media through lawsuits, but his case against the Des Moines Register over poll results he didn't like is so poorly conceived from a legal standpoint that his real goal of using the court system as an intimidation weapon is hard to miss.
