You know how Donald Trump has a nasty habit of threatening to sue anyone who looks at him cross-eyed? It appears that Bully Trump may be getting a taste of his own medicine.

Cheri Jacobus, a veteran Republican consultant, has just filed a defamation suit against Trump and his chief henchman, the notorious campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, at the tune of a cool $4 million. The suit alleges that Trump and Lewandowski falsely and knowingly impugned her professional reputation after she made negative comments about Trump. The suit also seeks punitive damages and court costs.

Back in January of this year, Jacobus appeared on CNN, where she quipped that in debates and interviews, the blowhard billionaire Trump “comes off like a third grader faking his way through an oral report on current affairs.”

The following morning, on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Lewandowski said, “This is the same person, I’ll just tell ya, who came to the office on multiple occasions trying to get a job from the Trump Campaign, and when she wasn’t hired clearly she went off and was upset by that.” (Excerpted from the defamatory statements in the lawsuit.)

And of course, Trump just had to tweet about Jacobus, furthering the fiction that she “begged” the campaign for a job:

In her filing, Jacobus claims that those assertions are false, and that they have caused “enormous damage to her career and reputation, significant emotional distress” as well as “public ridicule,” especially on social media. The lawsuit continues: “The attacks by Trump’s followers were laced with sexual degradation and pornographic vulgarity. She was depicted in numerous graphic illustrations as an appropriate victim for rape and sexual assault.” Her appearances on Fox News Channel had dried up, even though, as her complaint cites, she has made “over one thousand appearances on Fox News/FOX Business News. . .”
