Axios: Trump Wanted To Sue The Lincoln Project

Axios reports:

The male voice in the TV ad boomed through the White House residence during “Fox & Friends” commercial breaks. Over and over and over. “The end is coming, Donald. … On Jan. 6, Mike Pence will put the nail in your political coffin.”

The Lincoln Project, the anti-Trump PAC dedicated to pissing off the president with viral commercials, was back in his head with their voodoo. President Trump, furious, told his vice president to send the Lincoln Project gang a cease-and-desist letter.
