Trump Backtracks $25m Legal Threat After Intimidation Attempt Goes Public
On Tuesday, news broke that Donald Trump had threatened Angelo Carusone with a $25 million lawsuit if he didn’t halt his petition on MoveOn.org's petition site, SignOn.org, urging Macy’s to fire Trump as a celebrity spokesperson and drop his clothing line over his pattern of racist, sexist and mean-spirited bullying behavior.

When the cease and desist letter went public, Donald Trump quickly took to twitter to backtrack his legal threat, while simultaneously deriding the petition and former Macy’s customer as “stupid” and a “dummy.”
In response, tens of thousands of former Macy’s customers have taken to the retailer’s Facebook page Thursday night and Friday to demand that the company take action against their rogue spokesperson and brand who they claim does not live up to the “magic of Macy’s.”
