Donald Trump: A history of hand-scrawled rage
BY JUSTIN SPEES

AP/Palm Beach Post, Gary Coronado


Donald Trump attends the South Florida Tea Party's third annual tax day rally.

Jerry Seinfeld this week pulled out of a scheduled appearance at a benefit event organized by Donald Trump's son, Eric. The elder Trump responded by sending Seinfeld a letter that contained some .... choice words:

"I agreed to do, and did, your failed show, 'The Marriage Ref,' even though I thought it was absolutely terrible . . . Despite its poor ratings, I didn't cancel on you like you canceled on my son and St. Jude. I only wish I did."

This, of course, comes on the heels of two other angry and highly-publicized letters from The Donald to writers that, in his view, wronged him with their words. (One was to the New York Times' Gail Collins and another to Vanity Fair's Juli Weiner). It isn't a new habit, either. Trump actually has a lengthy history of using colorful hand-scrawled notes (which often reort to juvenile name-calling) to express his pique with members of the media. We've rounded up a collection of some of his best public letters of condemnation.

January 1988 to March 1989 - The Spy magazine saga

Spy contacts Trump about doing a story on his new wife, Ivana. Trump agrees to participate, on the condition that the magazine sticks straight to the facts, and threatens litigation for any perceived libel. What follows is the exhausting process, documented by the magazine, that culminates in Trump sending a letter to Alvin Schragis, father of an investor in Spy, denying he that he ever agreed to help with the story, and assuming (incorrectly) that Schragis is in any way connected to it:

Now I hear through the grapevine that you are doing an extremely inaccurate and dishonest story on Ivana and that the story is being written because I have said no to SPY Magazine going on the Shuttle flights.

September 11, 2005 - Letter to the New York Times Book Review

After the Times' reviews a new collection of essays from Mark Singer, Trump writes in to take shots at the New Yorker writer, who had produced a profile of him years earlier:

Most writers want to be successful. Some writers even want to be good writers. I've read John Updike, I've read Orhan Pamuk, I've read Philip Roth. When Mark Singer enters their league, maybe I'll read one of his books. But it will be a long time — he was not born with great writing ability. Until then, maybe he should concentrate on finding his own "lonely component" and then try to develop himself into a worldclass writer, as futile as that may be, instead of having to write about remarkable people who are clearly outside of his realm.

1. Each week, a celebrity should come and attack "The Donald"

Donald vs The World

I can't think of anyone on the planet who is more arrogant than Trump.

He needs to be humiliated, often... once a week for at least a year.

Can't we organize a group of "celebrity" people to make a this into a fun project...
it would be even funnier if you could make a "profit" on humiliating Trump.

2. He's a whiny spoiled brat with the reasoning ability of a two-year-old.

Apologies to two-year-olds.

5. And, like any spoiled brat,

he's an attention junkie!

Personally, I'm through feeding the baby: This is the last time I will post in a Trump thread.

3. He's a fucking clown. We have lots of clowns to choose from that will be running for the highest

office in the land. Entertaining. :7

[slay]

4. I love how some - hopefully most - people see right through his bullshit

like Craig Ferguson on the late late show - he cracks up every time he talks about Trump running for president - he sees that as nothing but a big joke - and really lets him have it. Great Trump temper tantrum post btw! :thumbsup:

6. Trust fund royalty

[Raine]

7. He's even more thin skinned and immature than Palin

he dishes it out to others but can't take it himself.

[Canuckistanian]

8. He goes right for the ad hominem

He doesn't even try to argue his own point.

[backscatter712]

9. Actually he's a reptile, not a mammal.

Like reptiles, he's hairless (except for that Traficant-brand squirrel on his head...)

10. when you get to a certain point

in business you rarely get people to challenge you, especially with aggressive and antagonistic language.
