Donald Trump Threatens Legal Action Over Charge Against Campaign Manager

Donald Trump says he is considering legal action in response to a recent battery charge against campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

"Frankly, this is not a claim that should have been made," Trump told ABC News' David Muir on "Good Morning America" this morning.

Lewandowski was arrested on Tuesday morning for allegedly grabbing former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields following a Trump event earlier this month. Trump dismissed the incident as "very minor," saying that "practically nothing happened."

"I'm sure there will be a counter-claim coming down the line," Trump added. "Should I file charges against her because she touched my arm as well?"

Trump doesn't seem to realize that Michelle Fields is not a prosecuting attorney, and that she didn't file the charges against Lewandowski. You don't "counterclaim" a criminal charge.

The man is absolutely clueless.

Trump could make a complaint also. Whether the prosecutor would file charges based on it is up to them.

forget Cruz, forget Mexican rapists, forget ISIS, Trump's real opponent is The Onion, and he's been crushing it.
