Wonder who he means by “that person.” 
and yea there are no federal libel laws fer crissakes. As one of the most litigious people in the country in this area, he oughta know that if nothing else.
(1) This is already what libel laws do (2) Trump has claimed he will do this before and not followed through, though who knows if this is different (3) The executive branch does not make lawshttps://twitter.com/grynbaum/status/951147516694802432 …

An interesting question is whether he knows this and is playing dumb or has forgotten (reading over depos yesterday I was struck by how little attention he seems to pay to his affairs)
-
I think all he knows is that he loses these lawsuits (but still files them as an intimidation tactic). I’d be very surprised if he even knows what federalism means.

"President Trump, who has said Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States and Ted Cruz’s father was behind JFK assassination, says laws should make it harder to say things that are false."

Also, libel, like murder and divorce, is a state crime.

Trump doesn't realize that the changes he wants could result in the death penalty for him.

All Trump would need to do to learn the most basic issues around libel is ask any WH lawyer, who in turn will say, "Truth is a defense for libel." But things change a bit when one is a "public figure." One needs to prove, "actual malice."

He won’t sue because that gives the other side the right of “discovery” of evidence.
