Donald Trump Lawsuit -- What's in a Name

Posted Feb 21st 2009 8:11AM by TMZ Staff

Donald TrumpDonald Trump: Drop the chalupa! You're being sued over a Baja condo that bares your name.

Larry Harris claims he saw a website advertising the Trump Ocean Resort in Baja, Mexico. Harris says he was led to believe The Donald was "personally involved in the development" -- probably because the website said "Mr. Trump is personally involved in everything that his name represents."

Harris claims in his lawsuit filed in L.A. County Superior Court, he plunked down $64,050 because he thought anything Trump did was a sure thing. In fact, Harris claims the project is stalled and may never be completed.

Harris -- who claims Trump was not personally involved -- is suing Trump and others for more than $65,000.

BTW, Mr. Harris, last Tuesday Trump Entertainment Resorts filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Not a sure thing.

1. That's "bears his name"---not "bares his name". Spellcheck won't help if you don't know the difference. Come on, Harvey!

2. Well, that guy was just stupid. He didn't do his homework. The Donald has filed for bankruptcy before. But, suing is the new trend. I guess it's easier than actually gettting over it and realizing that by investing you take a chance. What a moron. He's going to lose a lot of money losing this suit.

5. My first thought - bears not bares - you'd think people who spend so much time making fun of others would at least make sure their spelling was correct.

6. So Trump cuts a check that says 'Pay to the barer '. Won't get far with that.

8. i have seen that so called TRUMP resort..........and i simply asked my self "WHY HERE" the area sucks and anyone stupid enough to drop down 65k is not really seing the big picture.
you want to purchase a nice vacation spot in mexico choose carefully..... how about doing some re-search in a resort that is going to be build by a firm from DUBAI in mazatlan....
or how about on the highest ranking vacation spot in mexico "riviera nayarit"
cabo is just a desert next to the ocean....
just some thoughts

9. What am I not getting?
He saw an ad for something online and is now suing Donald Trump?
Does this person have anything to do with this Baja place or Trump at all?

12. Trump and all the people involved in the development of this luxury resort are a bunch of crooks. They took everybody's and no resort has even been built. Wonder where all the hundreds of millions of dollars they collected from purcahasers went?
