Trump should be held personally responsible for the costs of all of his lawsuits to taxpayers.

Is there any way to make this happen?

These frivolous lawsuits are offensive, time-wasting, AND expensive.

But if we pass a federal SLAP statute, that would be a yuuuuge plus (though unrelated to trumps insane lawsuit spree).

Maybe we can have the trump campaign declared a vexious litigant?

Lawyers? Is that a federal thang?
