Trump Attorneys Preparing Post-Election Lawsuit
http://www.newsyoushouldntbelieve.comDonald Trump Plans to Sue Voters if He Loses
by

Putative Republican nominee Donald Trump has a surprise up his Chinese-made sleeve if he loses the election in November. According to sources intimate with his campaign, a team of unemployed lawyers is drawing up a lawsuit to be filed the day after the election. If The Donald™ fails to win the election, he will sue all U.S. voters for failing to elect him as President, seeking $315 billion in damages.
One of the attorneys on the team, speaking off the record, said, "Mr. Trump has become very successful through similar lawsuits in the past, so why not sue the entire population of the United States? After filing a bankruptcy plea on behalf of his campaign, we will immediately file suit against the population in a reverse class-action tort claim. Candidate Trump stands to collect $1000 from every person holding U.S. citizenship once we win this lawsuit. It's tremendously brilliant."
Such a lawsuit would apparently be unprecedented in US jurisprudence, and demonstrates Mr. Trump's creativity and unrelenting avarice in pursuing his personal goals. Even if settled out of court, U.S. residents could be forced to pay the loser of the 2016 election, giving him a much-needed financial boost and giving the public a firm poke in the eye. The attorneys preparing the case expect it to continue all the way to the Supreme Court.
