Donald Trump sues town for $100 million


When Donald Trump isn't busy getting sued for defaulting on loans, he occasionally finds time to sue other people.

The Los Angeles Times reports that The Donald is suing Rancho Palos Verdes for $100 million for thwarting his efforts to maintain his precious "Trump Image" at the country club he built there five years ago. TMZ chimes in that "Trump is particularly pissed that he's been blocked from building a clubhouse terrace and a row of 12-foot ficus trees to block what he thinks are unsightly houses -- the last thing his putters want to see."

The poster boy of nepotism and grandiosity is accusing the town of fraud and, get this, civil rights violations.

But before you get out that Rosa Parks plaque to bestow on Trump for his battle against prejudice, the city and its residents have a few things to say. Mayor Larry Clark told the Times that the city has tried very hard to work with Donald Trump and he fears the lawsuit is going to anger many residents. One retired citizen added that "I think he just feels rules aren't made for him. He expects them to say he can do it because he's Donald Trump."

Trump has been the victim of an endless litany of atrocities. For instance, they wouldn't let him rename a road after himself. Hello? Haven't these people heard of the Civil Rights Act?
